Coach Benji 👑

lol the same braindead oaf who just watched as the Roosters regathered the ball from a scrum we fed and cost us the game and quite possibly the premiership in 2010?

Great, no wonder we play so damn dumb.
In all fairness it was the Roosters prop that fell on the ball , shoulda been our penalty
 
A 7 point plan for Benji for 2027 ... I'm sure I'll come up with more.

Thanks to the lads at WT Faithful for reinforcing some of my thoughts on this week's podcast.

1 Only play Latu Fainu or Jock Madden as our 1st receiver half back.

2 Do not extend any off contract LOW IQ players - cough Skelton & Afoa.

3. Recruit 2 of the following as depth/bench players for their experience, effort, line speed, defensive capabilities - Shawn Blore, Ray Stone, Tyson Frizell or Sam McIntyre.

4. Develop a transition plan for Javon Andrews to take over from AD at 5/8 through next season.

5. Develop AD in the pre-season into our 'own style' running Lock (and 5/8 utility), ability to play up the middle, be a 2nd sweeping fullback and provide a link. Transition into this role through the season (see point above).

6. Drill into Bula to sniff behind the ruck for offloads & for set 'inside ball' plays off middles.

7. Develop Ethan Roberts (left) & Mitch Taotua (right) as our depth backrowers as they bring similar skill & athletic attributes to KPP & Samuela.
 
So @ShaunMielekamp said end of season reviews take place and they address what is and isn't working.

What are some realistic suggestions on assistant coaches for Benji?

I like Johnny Morris, not sure how much output we're getting from him though.

Is Brad Arthur a chance?
Sammy Burgess?
I doubt these guys would take that job but everyone keeps saying Heino, Hodgo, Morris + Benji aren't doing the job. Who can?

It was a job no one wanted.
I just don't see who these coaches could be to upgrade on what we've got.
How realistic would it be to get Bennet on as an assistant when he finishes up at Souths?
Maybe he would like to be semi retired and just help out Benji?
 
True benji himself said that he can't coach
Galvin also said he can't coach plus a few other past players have said the same thing
I will give him the first 6-8 rounds of the 2027 season as a last chance & if there's no improvement by then he should voluntarily step down or get sacked but then half the team that signed for bunji is going to revolt & our 16th season like the past 15 is going to be cooked & we're going to finish down the bottom 4 plus a chance to get our fourth spoon
Gee I hope I'm wrong but the future is looking bleak
😔
Do it in the offseason
