Coach Benji 👑

[GNR4LIFE]

I think Benji has a lot to answer for, but getting rid of him doesn’t solve our main problem, which is our playing roster is simply crap. If anything, the allure of Benji is (and has been) the only thing that could change that.

Having to constantly read calls for his axing on here after every loss - mind you by the same people over and over - is just boring.

He might have appeal to play under. But what’s the point of bringing in players if they are going to flounder cos he can’t coach?

I actually say to give him another year …but I’m not expecting the roster to change much though beyond bringing in Averillo and junior Topou ,, .,,no salary cap left !

We all recognise that he’s very green, but this is a team on a journey with a poor lineup.
There’s no better time for him to get runs on the board than now. And as if we don’t want him to have that.

Bennett, Cleary or Gibson wouldn’t be doing much better here. Cleary didn’t! Even with Teddy, Moses etc. And remember Bennett at Newcastle.

Can’t deny we’ve fallen off a cliff, but if we get to 9 or 10 wins this year, we have to be honest and admit that it is still representative of an upward trajectory, especially for what has been achieved with a shell of a team.

To illustrate, in any other year our recent performances were par for the course. Now we expect better. That says something.

People will argue Benji has put the roster together so he is responsible for the short comings in the roster.
I personally think our problems are a combination of a lot of things and sure Benji being head coach must take some blame, but I don’t think any coach could do much better considering the budget at their disposal. The pathways road is our only hope as we have very little chance of securing very good NRL players from the market place

That’s a long path …he is not going to be afforded that much time … he will need to improve the players now at the club..
