OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Siberian Kitten]

I hate to say this but I think Galvin might have been right, although the sleazy way he left the club was dishonest and hurt the credibility of legitimate bullying victims.

I am yet to see a player improve under Benji. They all seem to be either treading water or going backwards. Galvin could see the writing on the wall and jumped before it was too late. The players don't improve and the team always looks disorganised in both attack and defence.

If the NRL coaches were ranked, Benji would be ranked last. He came to the WT at a time when there was no one else and he did his best with no experience. For that, the WT should be grateful but ....

I don't know the answer. How about the Walker brothers?

I suppose nobody wanted to trust the 19 year old kid who was just breaking into grade, but he sure as hell is coming across as being right in terms of benjis coaching ability

Benjis only saving grace atm is his recruitment

 

[innsaneink]

That's not true at all. I hated him when he was here, not straight away obviously, but basically about mid last year his fake smiling and selfish play switched me. Just something about him rubbed me the wrong way. He is the new Craig Field. He gets love from the media trying his heart out in a weak team because he he comes up with some very good plays, and the shit is ignored. He is toeing the line at the dogs and underpaying his hand. You can see on occasions he is desperate to do something unpredictable but is too scared to. The dogs will get the better version of him because he has put himself up in lights so much he simply has no choice to reign himself in. I absolutely believe if Benji tried to restrict his play he would have had a major sook. The bloke is a grub and always has been

I think i was the first one that memtioned the fake smile....i always thought it was a bit of an act.
And no i cant stand players that fingerpoint and spit the dummy when a team maate makes an error...and i dont recall anyone here justifying that behaviour...im seeing it more since he left

I think it's always tricky when your best kicker is playing centre as Burton will tonight. We had that with doueihi for a little while and I think it really limited our last tackle options and felt really predictable. There's a reason why the best kickers play in the halves and it's so that it's harder to predict what they're going to do where when Burton gets it on the last the whole backline needs to be adjusted and it's much more likely he's going to kick.

I think Galvin needs a kicking game.

I think he just needs a kicking.

There were coaches out there , they took Benji on , it’s the clubs call and it now seems it was a dumb one , Our coaching is very poor , our team can’t attack or defend , the 2 most important parts of the game , Benji is also protecting himself with his assistants who are all bog average and wouldn’t take his job , Flanno , Brad Arthur. ,

 

[hank37w]

I walked past him the other day at Australia Square and deliberately put a shot on him. It was lunchtime so my excuse was it was shoulder to shoulder already.

I’m proud of myself.

Did you wrap your arms? 🤣

He could still recruit if he was moved to Manager - Football Operations……..

As much as it’d be the benefit of the club he’s too delusional to settle for that

He wants the spotlight, if anything he’d probably just cruise back into his fox sports role

Jock, Olam, Hunt, Bird

I was saying this to my wife just last night, I can’t think of a player that’s improved under Benji’s coaching, and also thought the same about Galvins reason for leaving. Whilst I don’t like how he went about it, the background to what would be seen as his frustrations appear to be borne out the longer our season goes.

I’ve been saying this for months. The only pushback I get are players like Turuva, whose already won premierships.

I look at the slick play that Parra are building and how a number of their players are improving and I feel jealous. I reckon they will be semis contender next year. Or the Dolphins ....

FG coaching is an extremely hard job so it's no surprise you need an apprenticeship under a top coach to do well, like Ciraldo and Ryles. Benji had one troubled year under Sheens, who was rusty and past it.

The club knocked back applications from Flanagan and others preferring to run with an inexperienced coach. Not sure why? The only possible explanation is perhaps to save money?

Innovation, now you’re talking.
We have nothing to lose !

Rusty and past it? He was the best coach we have had and would have made a wonderful Head of Football if those knuckleheads weren’t so hellbent on self destruction and white anting.

Someone actually had the nuts to call Parra a sinking ship after TDS signed with them. How’s that for irony.

Galvin improved under Benji.. went from an SG ball player to basically NRL Rookie of the year...

You can’t rate rookies. The players you look at are your Twal’s, Seyfarth’s, Pole’s. None of them have improved. If anything, Pole is regressing.

Twal has been better this year, May, Sione hasn’t improved? he came to us a fat mess.
