Benji Marshall #70

[Leck]

I'm impressed with how Benji answered and handled that interview. Whilst he doesn't have the coaching experience (yet), he knows first hand how psychology turns bad teams into great teams.

Pretty sure he'll also handle the pressure of media scrutiny, he's done it before and that's half the battle.

glad to see he is looking at fainunabd Sullivan as the halves, we can't rely on sezer we need to look to the future. Sezer should only be used if we strike injury

Did you even read the article?

He said its on them to earn the position.
Sezar has been brought in to nurture them.

Great read thanks for posting, I'll be happy if all he does next year is end the culture of the instant starters. If someone isn't putting in on the training pitch and Benji hooks him and replaces him ill be happy. Baby steps.

Marshall - according to the article - "arguably" the best player ever thus far for the Wests Tigers. Who is the other candidate?

Benji was brilliant for us that’s for sure, but he had his ups and downs playing here. Hodgson, Farah, Ellis - all more consistently good, imo.

Yep good psychology is what this team has been needing for a long time.

Wish him luck

Time will tell... We've all done this before... Many times

Hoping for the best …

But still need to find a way to field a better team or nothing much will change …

This is still a bottom 3 team

They won't be remembered as much as Benji. And yes. Hodgson, Ellis and Co. More consistent. Just Benji put Wests Tigers on the map.

I agree, would be good to go straight to the future, Sezer behind glass in case of emergency
If Luai comes though it will likely mean one moves to 14 but lots of water to go under lots of bridges and we need options

We still be dealing with Salesman. Snake Oil.

You gotta respect the experts. Keep Sezer in cotton wool. Like he's only 16. Great idea. Great option. Im sure Sezer will agree. Easy money.

He’s our Andy Dalton, best backup QB in the NFL but takes bad times or an injury before he gets on the field where he is solid
Rarely wins or loses a game for his team but plays a role

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Who does Dalton play for?

Who does Dalton play for?

Carolina
He moves on most every year now but always gets a good cheque

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

What's his age? My point is. Is he a rookie, injury comeback, or like Sezer - experienced inbetween the ears?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

They should play Dalton right away. Panthers 1 and 6

Mid 30s
He had 10 years in Cinci now a gun for hire

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Hope the Denver Broncos are listening. Since Elway and Manning - times have been tough at Mile High.

I was at his first ever NFL game, always had a soft spot for him but could just never get it done in the playoffs.

at least they have the right coach now, good win last week
