Coach Benji 👑

If AD just plays on with no repercussions for refusing to play, how does Marshall pull anyone else up in future for poor behaviour? What kind of example does that set for the juniors coming through? Sounds crazy.

If he just comes straight back into the forst grade squad Benji should just save himself the aggrevation and pack it in now.

I think that we will need to watch how this pans out over the next few days. AD's hs burnt any credits he had with the team. My gut feel is that the playing group will be divided and we will continue to flounder; however, if they sit down openly and candidly and bring it out as a team and lay it on th table warts and all, maybe there is somethign to be salvaged. It is a huge ask and I am certainly not expecting anything positive to come from it. Maybe some truths will come out; but more likely the resentment will fester.

Yeah same Jolls iv never been a pro player but its just like in life its the big no no. You never leave your mates in tge trenches. What happens if half the group go see Benji saying he should be in first grade next game. The other half say he has to be in reserve grade next week. Adam should have been told to walk. I like the guy, but we finally need to set standards. Its sad to me looking in from outside, we've changed coaches, players, board members and executives. Yet we still have a soft under belly. On the field you see it all the time we have a soft underbelly any time it gets tough we buckle. Because as a whole our club through its history have always made excuses to take the easy option. It bleeds down to the playing group. By taking the hard decisions to set standards, it shows players discipline, teaches them to mentally deal with adversity and other things they take on the pitch with them. We have always taken the easy way out. Cant wait for the day the guys in authority in the joint decide from here on in we take the hard road. Everytime. I reckon within 2 - 3 seasons you will have a team of guys that have resilience we have never seen as our club. It would have been taught to them, not on the training pitch but from the front office.

True but at some point they would have to justify it to someone.

They don't though mate. Even the two blokes who were accountable to members got removed by the debenture holders. That's how bad this HBG organisational structure is.

L&G is such a lazy body to not to create laws to restrict corruptible setups like this.
