The only one would be Brad Arthur Parramatta was in a worst state and he took them to a GF

ok fair enough, that's one - I just can't think of any - I reckon Matty Johns can coach but I don't think he'd want to even come over and kill his media career.
 
Benji should be

Taylor was the one that did the backline play where Tedesco had 3 on 3 with 10m to the sideline and all he did was run the other two attackers out of space,dummy and get tackled. Repeat every set. It was diabolically bad.

You’re being very conservative. I’m more inclined to say 25. The only coach I might put below Benji is Terry Lamb. Mainly due to the fact Lamb found the Hoppa thing hilarious in video sessions. That and the fact he had a policy that no matter who the player was, if they were out for more than two games, they came back through reserve grade. I might have Benji marginally ahead.

Terry Lamb also appointed Skandalis as goalkicker at one stage.

That said, he did manage some memorable wins, including beating the premiers in 2001 (Knights) and 2002 (Roosters), as well as the salary cap cheating Dogs in 2002 before they went on a 17 game winning streak.

On balance, Lamb did better with a much worse squad, including the likes of Balin Cupples, Trent Runciman, Glen Air, Luke Isakka, Nick Bradley-Koala, Ahmed Bajouri and Hassan Saleh. But in 25 years time if the Tigers are still around, we'll probably regard Tony Sukkar, Bunty Afoa, Junior Tupou etc in the same light.

Brad Arthur seems to be the new Geoff Toovey. People called for us to sign him for years. Before that it was Steve Folkes (RIP). Now it’s all about Arthur. It won’t happen.

We’re allergic to anything that makes sense at this club. Arthur or Toovey would be great, but wouldn’t want to upset the previous petals in the playing group.

We need someone with a thick skin can coach and can build with no resources

The new Twal.

Someone in the Media mentioned it a while back.
We're always setting up for something that never comes.

We can't have 2 shots in a row at them, We're forever taking a settler to the middle to reset.
We suck them one way and then take them back to the middle to suck them the other way 2 plays later.
Most Flegg sides would confidently defend us.

Some absolute bangers in that list. May I also throw in Mark O’Halloran, Ben Black, Lee Murphy, Ben Jeffries. And the one and only Jackson Kaufusi

The last thing my under 11’s coach used to tell us before every game was “The main thing is you boys go out and have fun”. Wouldn’t be surprised if those are Benji’s last words before each game too.

Same with my coach. And then after the game my Dad gave me money for a can of Solo and a Mars Bar from the canteen
