Coach Benji 👑

[EllisFan]

Benji is in a mess of his own creation. Whatever he does will look like a reaction.

If he drops Luai and plays Douehi in the halves, he is pandering to AD.

If he drops Javon who he has touted as the future, he looks like he has backflipped amid pressure and last week was for nothing.

If he plays AD at lock or centre things look great. Come the offseason they will likely be be grounds to agitate for a release. Things will only get worse if his bad shoulder (which is being mentioned in sympathetic media) gives out.

He is probably also starting to have to juggle long term roster planning with the need to start winning games as the seat warms up under him.

Reserve grade or at the very least off the pine this week.

Surely he can’t start him.

Benji has a big job ahead for the rest of 2026 season
He must get wins along the way as if we don’t he will be n a world of media pain , AD this week will be a telling factor on Benji and his strength to do the right thing , back via reserve grade , play him off the bench and into 13 to replace Twally , or start him at 7 will Luai at 6 , we can’t afford to dump Luai as he simply to good and Jarvon is not close yet , the team may have a say if AD plays but if you leave it to the team it could cause a split in voting , that you don’t want , Latu and Madden won’t play so we are thin , we need a bounce back over the eels , we need all troops on deck and wanting blood for a win , we need to simply smash them hard right from the start , I would elect to kick off and jump on them right from the get go , turn them around , kick to the corners , kick some grabbers , go for 40/20 I would bomb them just non stop and they will break , if we don’t well I feel they will put 30 on us , Benji is in a tough spot , we need wins , team needs discipline, team needs leads hard leaders , people who are going to stand up

Yeah he is almost in a no win situation.
It is very possible that we could win this weekend and the articles will be attacking him.

Isaac wants to sabotage him, make no mistake.

This week will define Benji the coach pure and simple.
