They’ve signed Benji for 5 years presumably on big money, it’ll be very interesting to see what support they put around him this off-season and how much they back his decisions. Particularly interested in who plays 7 in 2027, and what ramifications that has.
Coach Benji 👑
- Thread starter LeichhardtBoy
- Start date
I think you should probably replace 'interesting' and 'interested' with disappointing and disappointed
I’ll give SM the benefit of the doubt, he’s in year 1.
carefull , they will come for you .? . this club is always doing next year. League as a game has gone down the shoot ,you get the rest
That press conference was one of the worst have ever seen.
We are the worst team in the comp once you take the 1st 7 or so games away and by a massive margin.
It’s Benji squad, his coaching structure, his defensive and attacking structures.
They are all terrible.
Mix that with lack of team first players which is supported and well zero chance of winning much anytime soon whilst Benji is leading the club on the park into more years of not playing finals
But it’s all cool, we are all people and have families so everyone is ok with what’s going on.

Need to hire a GM of football first. Cause I don’t think Benji is going anywhere. Unfortunately

I am not defending Benji but I think he deserves 2027 with hopefully a full strength side of KPP, Averillo, Latu, Javon, Taylan May etc. The squad are obviously playing with what should be season ending injuries Bula, Api.

As opposed to new age Benji?
Arthur lasted 10 years at Parra, finished with a positive win rate, 5 finals appearances and a grand final. All amongst the dysfunction at Parramatta.
Currently has Leeds sitting top of the ladder in the Super League. Barely a dinosaur, that's a poor take.
He's better than what we've got and Benji has proven it's too big a job for a rookie.

For a long time I avoided judging Benji. But when you have players who are good going backwards and becoming ordinary, that's on the coach. He's like an anti-Bellamy.
If there's no change in coach or assistants, the only way Tigers will avoid the spoon next year is if Perth's recruitment stalls.

That’s what this year was…
I kind of hope he does and to the point of no return. It's sad, but I don't think anyone needs to keep being subjected to this crap. It's not fun or enjoyable for anyone other than the opposition
100% Batboy.
i Can't believe he has a contract for 5 more years. ?????????

Respected the process and his learning on the job but evidence is evidence this guy is not a very good coach.
Unfortunately we need to move him into another role or move him on all together.

I was a benji supporter, but after the last 10 weeks it shows he is not a coaches arse hole ,
Yesterday’s game had no structure, again one out hit ups , no depth in attack , players not sure what was going on .
Just out of interest, does anyone know how many times Samuel got the ball in his hands , one of our best ball players and not used in attack .
TIME TO GO BENJI

100% correct mate.
We are never able to manage a game, even when we manage to take the lead in the dying stages of a game we always manage to some how find a way to throw it away and lose, just so frustrating, just so Wests Tigers.
We cannot manage a game and we certainly cannot manage a season, yesterday's game against the Parra-sites and this season being just another example of that.

The closest we have come in our pursuit of excellence is getting a Centre of Excellence and that has made no difference what so ever, it's time that we got a street sweeper than can do a great job and sweep out the rubbish. 😡
