LIVE GAME Round 17v Manly

[cone]

It buggers me a team could be playing exactly the same way for 15 or more years, it's truly bizarre.

It's bloody impressive mate, surely the most consistent team in the NRL right?

 

[jadtiger]

Putrid

 

[Furious1]

Another wooden spoon, if Benji really cares about this club he should quit himself first thing tomorrow morning, just because you were a great player in your day doesn't mean your a great coach

I agree re Benji. But let’s be realistic, the Club should quit unless HBG start pouring serious money in. Until they do that, the club will continue to be 17th in both results and all the financial indicators.

 

[Tiger_claws]

So will Benji

We can do this all night but Sam isn’t better than Benji. I suggest you watch Warrington instead of believing the media that Sam can coach

 

[cone]

Any chance Benji quits ????

Yeah probably with Moses as his manager. For his sake I hope he does.
Go have a 10 year career at the Chooks or something mate.

 

[Speed2burn]

At least lately he's answered everyone who questioned why the chooks punted him, he's average

he’s burnt out now 100%

The only coach that will make any sort of meaningful change would be Ivan, Bellamy or Bennett.

There's just no fkn set plays, I dont understand?? It's just push passes to the wings, get tackled, kick on the 5th (sometimes 2nd because why tf not) and repeat. Just watch Manlys tries they have actual shapes. I don't understand wtf we do at training it's been like this for years.

Yep and we are way to slow in both attack & D and ill disciplined and disconnected

 

[Tucker]

No Luai, Api or Bula next week. It's dire.

Best spine in the comp…

 

[Spartan117]

That's rough way to start the weekend

I Hope Benji Rips them hard this week

 

[Tim Sheens]

Im not attacking Tallyn. He doesn’t pick himself

I wasn't having a go at your post, as no doubt that stuff contributed to his state of mind. Rather, simply pointing out that he was not the cause of our loss.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

It was always going to be a struggle with the disruption to the spine but man the forwards need a quality injection and Bird he's got nothing guys, no impact in the forwards at all

Just fold anyways, let all us poor fans support an actual successful club.

 

[Droppy05]

Well I'm nearly 72 & I don't think I can take much more, I don't think I can see them win another comp & I go to 95% of the games, my wife says I am mad & I believe her but i will keep backing up, I must be MAD.P.s Feel sorry for Benji.

Well tiger, im just a little older than you. This is as bad as ever its been. Maybe be worse in the past, but cant remember that luckily for dementia.

 

[gallagher]

Been that way all year though

Every fkn weekI think to myself what do they do at training...must be ping pong and snooker

Its the worst attacking football ive seen from any team for a long time and its regular

More like beer pong. Or beer bong. Or donkey Kong.
Whatever it is, it ain't training

 

[magpies forever]

Well, if we do act against the coach and his staff, we need to start having conversations now with potential successors. We can't go into end of season, ask the coach to step down and then start searching for a coach. Next season training starts about start November so we would already be behind the 8 ball again for season 2026. Player retention, recruitment, coaching staff, etc all need to be sorted quickly.

Because for some reason Benji thinks a 30 year old centre/half can play in the forwards.

Your probably right.

Waste of time unless we can Ivan, Bellamy or Bennett

 

[Flippedy]

Mate, if Gus came here, everyone who has talked shit about him for the last two months would start looking at him like a God.

Lol I think we would even be too much of a challenge for him.
