Is he the scapegoat?

Is he the scapegoat?

It certainly looks that way,to be honest he was the only assistant coach i actually thought should have been retained because he at least had coaching experience.

 

[innsaneink]

Thats one leak thats come to fruition.

Theres been nothing about Fred and Barney tho

 

[Tiger_heart]

I'd like to think is he is the first in a line of dominos reaching the board...please..please...please...

Any news on his replacement?

Mielekamp said that work was currently underway on a broad review of the NRL program following the completion of the 2026 season.

“We’re currently working through a review of our men’s program – which is standard practice after any season – led by our Senior Manager of NRL, Pat Richards,” Mielekamp added.

“It’s a process that will look at all elements of our program and set the foundations for the 2027 season and beyond.”

I love heighno and have no issues with him being the blue shirt trainer.

The only somewhat competent coach on staff.

Lol yup, the only one with some creds.

You'd hope a very experienced coach will join our coaching staff after this.

Morris was our defensive coach I believe.
I’d like to see Ben Teo come in but he’s likely to end up at Souths. Ben Hornby could be a good option. Not sure if we get anyone qualified tbh.

 

[Wezt]

You get rid of the attack coach as well Surely.

Exactly what I was thinking! The only one of Benji’s mates with any credentials, though if he was the one in charge of our defence, then I’m glad he is going.

Defensive structures always did my head in

All the best to Bomber has a lovely family

that’s a low bar…but I’ll see who the replacement is…

 

[hsvjones]

I would assume they have a replacement in line otherwise why would you let him go when he is one of the better ones we have.

I dont know what any of them brought to the team individually
