Benji 2025

okay that’s harsh even from us. You’re down by 12 at halftime so you do need to play some footy, surely Benji isn’t to blame for what, 9 second half errors and a sin bin ? Tupou and others literally dropped non contested balls cold

That's the most ideal spine for 2025, I think.
Yeah….there isn’t many wins in that spine. Maybe 2026 when they are more settled.
 
Maybe, but it’s also a recurring theme. Players that leave here, progress. Players that come here, regress. The club has to take some of the heat for that.

There's plenty that went on to acheive jack, most that left to do better things left beyond our control.
But i totally agree with the majority of incoming players .
 
He’d never accept (rightfully so) but he’s just about the best option.
Why not, he has unfinished business with us and would understand the clowns who were running things are now mostly gone, it's not the same club it was 5 years ago.
 
A PR exercise by previous club admin should not hold Richo to their plans if he sees a different approach needed. Hopefully some very serious words said between the 2 of them and honest decisions made within a week or two..
Yep that was their perfect excuse/reason/get out clause to stop this crap in its tracks. . but what ever, there is always rnd 4 2026 to finally end this debacle
 
Gotta admit I’m concerned by some of Benji’s comments in the last presser of the year… his message to the team was to “go out and play footy”…. In other words play touch footy and bugger defending… well they followed his instructions to the letter… too bad we couldn’t quite score 70 points to get the W…. Benji obviously doesn’t take or emphasise defence seriously…unless he has a massive shift of HIS mindset… we will come last again in 2025….

Accountability comes from the top, and the players will do whatever is deemed acceptable by the boss. The buck stops with Benji, which then stops with Richo. It's that simple. Sentiment Will cost us big time next year if Richo doesn't make some tough decisions and have a long, hard think about how we change our culture. And I'm not talking writing some moto on the wall.
 
This suggests Richo’s not happy with the coaching.

If true, it is encouraging. At the end of the day ikts about winning games of football. If you loose, at least don't give up and embarrass your club and supporters who have to continually deal with this diatribe week in and week out.

Agree. “I’m still learning” is not good enough but I think Benji is safe until mid next year.

The ironic thing is we sacked the coach many times when coaching wasn’t the problem, now it clearly is but we won’t sack him.

When does Benji’s contract expire?

Coaching’s always the problem. T Lamb , J Taylor , Cleary ( who jumped of the bus ) Maguire (going backwards every year )Sheens- Benji wooden spoon masters
 
I will stick by what i was told this year and That is Benji has 6 games next season to make a vast improvement or he is gone and after tonight's abortion i hope it is true.

Brad Arthurs will get the Perth gig so the rumor is.
who will replace him,any intel
