OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

[mikey]

Benji may have attracted the players, but like previous seasons , he has tarnished their reputations by his lack of coaching skills. This squad is much better than last year, but we will probably spoon again.

Whether he can coach is still debatable but how many coaches have to be the fall guy for an under-manned roster?
If we're arguing for people who couldn't coach it would be Sheens for mine. Yes, we won in 2005 but we should have been in semis for more than the three years we were.
Benjis make or break year is 2026 for mine. Hopefully he and Richo can get 3 not so Little Pigs with houses of stone not the straw ones we have atm.

If Richo is the administrator he once was he has a huge job to do. First thing is to rid the club of the 2005 boys club coaching team from Benji down and then try to convince up to 6 quality players to come to the club. I don’t think he has the stomach for the first job and I don’t think he’s capable of the second job. If I’m a good player I and want to stay that way I wouldn’t join WT for any money.

I don’t think we become a proper footy team or club until we get rid of the “2005 coaching team”.

We destroyed this club with Jason Taylor , then we did it with Tim sheens and now we do it with Benji. For the first time in a long time we have a decent roster , if only they had an experienced coach to coach them.

why do we have that decent roster?

 

[Telltails]

The roster is still not strong enough to compete week to week. The Warriors showed the standard for a pack that is top eight worthy. They completely dominated us. When we were in the attacking zone we were able to find some success we just couldn't get in that position enough.

 

[clontarfkid]

I'll give you one guarantee....he won't leave. No club (including the new teams coming) will pay as much as we are paying for him. He is the most secure player we have on the roster....and 2nd place is not close.

Think he will be Perths marque player..same $$..fresh start away from this self imposed mess

 

[Furious1]

Had a mate at the game , he messaged me , Luai not a happy camper said he was screaming at the forwards all game and not in a nice way plenty F bombs , he was really pissed at them , said we just looked like had not much idea , he is a kiwi and said coach brilliant player but may not be the one to get us up the ladder

Luai definitely has his faults, and in most peoples eyes not earning his pay check, but he should have been tearing strips off them. I saw he did the same when there was a loose ball in second half and the outside backs didn't respond at all. Our transitions are a disgrace. We stand there and watch, no thoughts about it being an opportunity for attack or to change any momentum. Compare that to the peak Panthers, current Bulldogs, Storm, Qld in Origin the list goes on, we would be close to the bottom of it.

These are the things he was brought here for, to change the attitude, lift the standards to near enough isn't good enough. He needs to be better and lead the way with better discipline, but I want him ripping into players for missing their assignment. If the players can't meet the standard, ship them out.

So make him recruitment manager then

It's called leadership!

He "cares" about standards unlike the forum pet Doueihi!!

 

[tig_prmz]

Poor guy???

He can try not blowing our chances with stupid penalties.

You can't fault his efforts. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

Any effort plays, he shows up for them. It's not working out with his skill levels right now, but that will come with playing with the same people day in, day out.

What’s the point of owning a Ferrari if you never take it for a spin? What’s the point of having a decent roster if they can’t win for him?

I'm glad he did.

We've lost a lot of games this year due to lack of effort plays but this game we lost due to lack of skill, shape, effort and got dominated in contact too.

because we had the worst/youngest roster in the league last year and at least this year we’ve been competitive. even teams struggling like the titans have origin & international players. have to start from somewhere.

It’s the difference between ability and responsibility. When both are combined in the same package, ah that’s when the magic happens.
There are still too many in our 17 lacking in both.

We’re always starting. Never seem to finish though.

Exactly, like i said, thats why he was brought here.

We do have a Ferrari? The Forbes Ferrari

Any good half will give his pigs a bucketload if they are not having a dig,can you imagine Sterling Freeman or Mortimer remaining quiet if there pack was getting monstered.You do not win football games by remaining submissive or passive.I would be extremely disappointed with him if he didn't abuse them.
