John Morris Gone

[innsaneink]

You get rid of the attack coach as well Surely.

Hopefully

 

[innsaneink]

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

Whats his role exactly other than waterboy?

 

[Ed Reschs]

I thought he signed with St George as an assistant over a month ago. Might be wrong where but he had already indicated he was leaving. fluff piece from ready

I always thought he (Heighno) was great at organising the lunches

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Hodgo hopefully next followed by heignington

 

[Demps]

Hodgo hopefully next followed by heignington

Replaced by?

For me, it's....
Ben Teo
Or.... Dale Finucane.

Yeah think so

Dale Finucane is a good choice

hopefully not teo

Hornby would be good but not sure he qoukd leave souths he probably has that role when bennet leaves.

Perhaps Michael Ennis

 

[TigerBurnsy]

Is he the scapegoat?

They have to get rid of hodgo as well, he’s attack coach and we can’t score points

 

[TigerBurnsy]

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.

Daniel Fitzhenry

Daniel Fitzhenry

Here's hoping that's an attempt at humour man, as much as I like the song, The Boys Are Back In Town, had a gutful of it at the Tigers.

 

[jadtiger]

Just you usual off season,Tori sums it up perfectly.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I hope we really shake things up with the assistants, can't keep doing the same things and expect a different result.
Not that Morris wasn't experienced but we obviously need an outsider with experience im a bit over the old boys club.

 

[Dr_Ice]

Dale Finucane is a good choice

What has Dale been doing since his retirement?

 

[Odessa]

The only somewhat competent coach on staff.

He took a job at the Dragons awhile ago now when Young became head coach

 

[weststigerman]

Heighington and Hodgo next hopefully.

Great players but not good coaches.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Hm...well I'm nervous about who comes next. Somehow I feel HBG will push to bring in someone to butt heads with Benji.

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Everyone is assuming that he was moved on. Could it be that he has made the move himself

Thats the goss

 

[Winston Churchill]

Hopefully Johnny ‘Cronk’ Morris is just the first to go. Benji's other 2 assistants, Hodgo and Heighno should be following him out the door.

There are only two explanations for what we watched this year, and neither reflects well on them.

Either they saw the same glaring problems everyone else could see week after week, raised them with Benji and were ignored because he had the final say. If that’s the case, they’re powerless yes-men occupying seats and adding absolutely nothing.

Or worse ------ they DID have a voice and simply failed to recognise or fix those problems themselves. If that’s the case, they’re incompetent.

Pick one.

Powerless or incompetent.

Because you don’t get to be part of a coaching staff that repeatedly serves up the same problems all season, watches nothing meaningfully improve, and then somehow escapes accountability.

What exactly did Hodgo and Heighno contribute this year? What improved because of their coaching? Where is the evidence they made this football team better?

If the answer is nothing, then why the hell are they still there?

Changing one assistant and pretending the job is done would be pathetic. If the Tigers are genuinely serious about fixing this mess, stop protecting jobs and start demanding results.

Morris gone. Hodgo and Heighno next.

Zero improvement. Zero excuses. Zero reason to keep them.
