Benji vs Ciraldo

[tig_prmz]

Nah what it tells me is that assistants at the riff under Cleary have a more important role than other assistant coaches . Most of the ones under Bellamy who became head coaches have been duds whereas you have two former riff assistants in top 4

Brad Arthur and Madge have been pretty good.

Please, look at ciraldos squad v Benji squad. Just look at our bench this week. You are only as good as the people around you.

Could ciraldo have improved the WT results this year and would Benji have done any worse than ciraldo. Imo the answer is no.

Ciraldo was offered the job at tigers and opted to take the easier path with the dogs. Is he a better coach who knows but imo he made a better career decision by taking the dogs job because it was an easier path to finals.

Time will tell if either are much chop.

Benji is building the squad nicely and in my opinion should be considered for coach of the year taking a 3 time wooden spoon team to whisker of the finals. Well we know how ciraldo gets players.

Cmon ..he has taken a team that won 6 games to a team that won 9 games … I mean …obviosuly im not complaining about it ..but coach of the year ?

Ciraldo doesn’t get out coached by Payten twice a year.

Benji is a work in progress. There are some good things in how his players respect him, but tactically he needs work.

I also think he allows the team to enjoy the wins too much and the players don’t maintain any intensity beyond about 2 weeks.

Ciraldo was out coached by Benji though...

Guessing you didn't watch the first game vs the cows? Benji wasn't out coached at all..

We were "out refereed" with 2x sin bins in the same half.. Ive seen teams give 3 consecutive penalties this year and no sin bin (Luai). Ive also seen alot worse than the interference on Bateman and no sin bin.. we were royally fkd over... The moment we had our full team back on the park we won the game like 28-6 or something..

Game 2, we were in total control before we had to reshuffle our defence and play guys in positions they've never played before.. I'd say it's more unlucky than great coaching from payten..

Disagree.

If we weren’t asleep for the first 10 minutes, what happened at the end wouldn’t have mattered. Payten correctly targeted our right edge from the start.

We’ve been slow starters most of the year and it’s costly.

Doesn't take a genius coach to target our right-side defence. I wouldn't be using that as an example of Benji being out coached.
