CEO - Shane Richardson

Great effort from Richo on the podcast. He's speaks great Australian English.

Stoked to see what Richo produces with all the extra available cash from not signing Galvin. Let's not forget that the loss of the Big 4 was compounded by the abortive work done by Pascoe and Cleary afterwards.

I was glad to hear him say we are gonna have plenty of wiggle room in the cap and we're gonna pick up value from where other clubs over extend themselves, music to my ears.

Lock in Paul Rowley as a future target if Benji doesn’t work out.

Honestly we need a coach that can live with Media glare. I don't think geezers from Super League will cut it at this club. Mick Potter did fairly well in Super League but looked like he just wanted to lay down and cry after 6 months in the job. I'd have Wayne Bennett but he's too old now. After that, I'd have Ricky Stuart. Massively underrated as a Coach.

Benji's so good at taking the sting out of press conferences, and has been better at selling the club to players so far than most who have come before him. That is more valuable to us than dudes who can punch above their weight coaching smaller Super League teams.

I actually think John Morris would be the best replacement for Benji if it seriously wasn't working out. He's coached a pretty average team to the Top 8 already in his career. He's also coached at Junior level successfully. Would also know the current playing group really well.
 
Can we please have a year where we just accept the coaching staff we have
They are doing ok
Past years you couldn't go 2 weeks without incessant posts on who should be our next coach
Our Team
Benji Marshall - Head coach
Not very experienced but will get better and better with time
John Morris- assistant coach defence
Very experienced
Brett Hodgson -assistant coach offence
Very successful in super league
Chris Heighington assistant coach
All in All a good team imo

One thing I would like to see is Benji speak up when we get shafted by the referee .like Ricky
He says little if anything
Only 3 of 7 games I've had issues
Warriors - milking pen to win game
Broncos - 2 tries off obvious forward passes ( still would have lost )
Parra Rd 7 - Liam Kennedy many errors most against us

Clubs best ever signing hands down.

What a gun. Richo was perfect. Michelangelo, painting the Sistine Chapel perfect.

Let’s break it down:

1. Galvin’s dad? A greenskeeper. Great at lawns. Terrible at picking up a phone.

2. Dad is fully behind this. Fully running point on contract talks.

3. Ghosted him like a bad Tinder date.

4. 0 to litigation threats with no convo, no warning.

5. Meanwhile, Isaac Moses tells the RLPA that Tumeth and Matamua made complaints. They didn’t. Isaac just chucked a grenade into the room and walked off.

6. Benji and Moses can't speak without it being "antagonistic". Richo’s now CEO and couples therapist.

The club’s out there doing press, facing the music, telling the story. Galvin and Moses? Lurking in the shadows, leaking to media mates.

And the PR battle? Not even close. They’re getting pantsed.

Only people backing Galvin are the usual anti-Tigers squad. Willie Mason? hates us like it’s a full-time job. James Graham? It's clear he has some mystery beef.

Objective footy fans? They see it. They know Richo’s running laps around these blokes.
 
This podcast was a great listen (minus the last 20 minutes when they spoke about the Super League and I lost interest). After a tough week, hearing our CEO come out and speak like that re-affirms that we are on the right track. We have handled this situation the way it needed to be handled and as a result, we can continue to plan for the coming years and move forward.

The couple of outside the club signings will be interesting over the next 2 to 3 weeks. I love how they keep their cards close to their chest on these things.

Also good to hear 4 other players want to do deals from within the club and want to stick around. So there should be some more news there too.
 
I like listening to Richo, He is very informative and a good operator

Some good Quotes a I listen

  • No Bullish, Be Honest and move on
  • 6 weeks working on the richest deal in Tigers History including a Car deal
  • Already working on who could replace him from Night 1
  • I don't want to talk about WT checkered history.
  • 4x other players ate the club that require Offers, Galvin was prioritised


  • More Discussions about The General Health of the club, Trade Window, The English Game and my fav part... The RLPA is in more geared towards the Player managers than the players themselves.

    Rich is the best Administrator we have ever had

Richo has the confidence of a man with nothing to hide.

Good call on John Morris. For the record I’m not wishing we move away from Benji, I was just listening to the wrap Richo gave Rowley and where he is placed currently with Salford. Maybe he isn’t interested in coming to Aus, I’m just saying Richo is a fan.
