Have we signed an assistant coach for next year already?
Yep, we have a problem Houston, and it's bigger than a possible botched moon landing.I wonder why it's taking so long.
Maybe the experienced guys who are options want no part of being under a rookie like Benji
Yep. These blokes that are prepared to take the BIG $$$ and not put in a big performance and bludge.That's been fairly consistent throughout the year, barring the odd performance here and there. Definately could not pay that guy marquee money. I'm glad he knocked it back, but you know he'll turn into the incredible Hulk down Melbourne you can bookmark it now.
Api has certainly carried a very unfair load since he has been with us, but Imo he'll be back next year just as good as ever, provided we get some good and tough players around him.We have cooked API. He is done. Was such a great player for us but his best is over.
No it doesn’t.Our backline last night apart from Galvin will not be starting next year, it was basically a KOE backline bar Galvin, and people are surprised we got beaten badly. Everyone saying sack Benji and this years team has been way better than previous sides needs to take a chill pill. Benji has had to blood young guys because there is only poo around them bar Api, what is he supposed to have achieved this year a premiership, please.
Let Benji have a year with Luai, Bird, Hunt, Turuva and more alongside our 2nd year juniors then see how he goes. Sacking him now only leads to another few years behind the 8ball.
Well said. Our team will be so much better next year.Our backline last night apart from Galvin will not be starting next year, it was basically a KOE backline bar Galvin, and people are surprised we got beaten badly.

Because he will be turning out in the feeder club.Helps to have Tua (195cm), Nelson (200cm), Lazerus (190cm), etc to soften up the defence, off the back of returns from Coates (194cm), Warbrick (193cm), Horwath (193cm) and Anderson (187cm). An unstoppable Ei Katoa (193cm) running a great line towards a half. All big powerful bodies and will dominate the contact over the course of a match. Add the skill, speed, power, and agility around the middle of Hughes, Munster, and Paps, Saulauvi, etc. How could you not play decent off them?
Flanagan doesn’t have a team of youngsters , nor do I think he should be the hard stick given that he all bit cheated to win a comp! Was it his post match sprays or the team-wide peptides that brought success?See how Flanagan handled the press conference last week, and his side lost by 4, compare that to Benji this week, a sold out home crowd all to play for, it's chalk and cheese
This should be the most loved post in the history of the internet.To be a member of this club, you would have to hate yourself to a reasonably high degree.
We need some size in the backs and forwards Droppy05.We need some size in the backs. They are all pygmies except for Bula.
Why it’s taking so long - maybe and hopefully the new incoming assistant coach will be the next head coach.I wonder why it's taking so long.

All his errors are symptoms of being given too much responsibility. Constantly overplaying his hand is making him look like a rubbish player, when in reality he's doing too much, not too little. A good coach would tell him to step aside and let someone else have a crack, but seeing as our 'standards' are to have fun and take the positives out of every loss it seems like nothing will changeI think Api needs to be stripped of his captaincy to focus on his game. When on song, he’s probably the craftiest dummy half in the game… lump that with a whole heap of responsibility on his shoulders and he shits the bed
The challenge in the first 10 mins
Kick out on the full
Sin bin
Great player, not so great leader. Not really sure who you’d give it to tho… Luai maybe
Yeah I felt sorry for him. He obviously tried to lift the team with that tackle and ended up all going wrong for him.Imo Api tries too hard, tries to do too much to inspire and make up for all the slack arses on our team, therefore makes a few unfortunate errors.
I'm sure you'll email Richo about it then?One would be forgiven thinking that our NRL side is preparing our kids for their pathways teams.
The youth policy sounds like the ultimate in excuse making for mine.
Hopefully we have taken a few of those eels loafers hostage and tunnelled them into the Zurich white elephant.
Funny what playing for ones contract can elicit footy wise.
Not at our club of course. No pressure if you’re on the Benji.
Suva beckons Benji, cram in another holiday before the 2 minute season review. In fact, no review required, there’s nothing to learn from this season. It’s best fogotten.
Farah was right, so counter-intuitive and unsettling.
Go and bully someone else mate. I’m over it. Leave me alone.I'm sure you'll email Richo about it then?
