Doubt it. They are all bros.
This is the great culture we kept being told about.
Ask the warriors about it.
Foundations built like a house of cards.

Please have some self-respect and resign, Benji. You managed to recruit a few decent players, but you never cut it as a coach. Clearly, you have lost the team, and it's only going to get worse.

I don’t think so. They responded well to his half time speech and were the better second half team until the sin bins.

Maybe Benji can coach the new Fiji team under the Albo defense strategy of putting tax-exempt NRL teams in Melanesian countries to protect Australia from Chinese fishing boats.
Our biggest challenge is strengthening the squad how we go next year won’t be coaching related. If we don’t add 3-4 top 17 players and more depth we won’t do anything. Upgrading players and getting growth from young players is fine but we are way behind.
They have to stick to the process and be smart with recruitment. Also need to look at the training and rehab.

Terrell May and Jahream Bula were both recently given major contract upgrades and extensions and are now both being paid above 900k per season by Wests Tigers.
This was all endorsed by Benji who asked/demanded to have full control of all rugby league related matters including the recruitment and retention.
This is a much bigger issue and concern than anything to do with the Luai issue.
So who is at fault, the club board for giving Benji all this power and control or the club board itself?
Many say the club board itself as it has now been happening over and over for the past 15 years and therefore the club board need to take plenty of blame, but they have to put their trust in somebody and currently that person is Benji.
I am not suggesting we churn through another coach and go through yet another total rebuild, but the onus has to be on Benji to put his hand up and own the fact he has been getting plenty wrong regarding recruitment and retention, which leads to the playing roster and matchday team selections.
There are certain players in the current NRL team that are way overrated, some who keep being selected that are simply not good enough to be regular NRL players and some that are certainly not ready for the weekly grind of playing NRL each and every week.
This being the case it’s not possible to win games consistently and be consistent over a full NRL season.
The playing roster needs a major review and major overhaul to ensure none of our underwhelming players keep their positions in the NRL team if they are not playing up to NRL standard.
I will add that unlike Terrell, Jahream has tried really hard over the last couple of weeks and is doing some things such as digging into the line much better than he has ever done before.
The problem with Jahream is certainly not lack of effort or commitment, he simply is not good e ough to have the pressure of being a marquee player.
That being said, there is little doubt Jahream can and will contribute much better than he has recently had the opportunity to do once we get a better quality team around him iwhich needs to include some other fast and tackle busting backs.

Benji has stopped talking about standards and unacceptable performances. Seems like he is now either accepting these poor performances for what they are and that their season is over or he is overwhelmed and doesn’t know what to do to turn it around. Maybe both.

I actually think we are worse this year compared to last, the end of season ladder spot will show that as well

We have nothing to lose now so Benji should wake up to himself and start selecting young players and give them more experience for next season and pick players who will not be there in 2027.

Turuva is probably our most whole-hearted effort player. Can’t possibly see why he’d be dropped.
benji needs an ultimatum to have some coaching help that isn’t one of his yes men boys. He needs an experienced assistant that will push him. It’s been this way from day one with Benji but they gave him the keys no questions asked on who he wanted. Worst coaching staff in the nrl.
Sorry but may should vi play reserves for a while to get a grip! He’s been pathetic and very disappointing
I’d actually go the other way and pick the best team in reserves. Hopefully they can start winning together and we can move forward from there!!!
