Season 2027 Head Coach

[clontarfkid]

Maybe, but I'm hoping for a strong recruitment surge whilst Makasini. Andrews, and Saukuru develop, but it feels unlikely due to how we develop our young talent.

Weve paid too much $$ to retain mediocrity,so cap is stuffed
But if we get humiliated last 3 games this season(quite possible)..and a bad start to 2027...it becomes untenable for Benji
Hes very expensive to release early,but...

We have no choice, but to get another coach asap. We will nearly get another spoon this year and cannot afford to keep Benji on a whim that all of sudden he'll become a first grade coach. That experiment has failed.

I feel like the office episode with Ricky Gervais when it comes to benji and SM. Benji SMH article doesnt address his football issues or benji picking his mates in every position

The club is languishing in 14th place and is still technically a chance of earning the wooden spoon if they remain winless for the remainder of the season and other results conspire against them.

Veteran South Sydney coach Wayne Bennett has long been a sounding board for Marshall, who revealed he is also seeking advice from Perth Wildcats NBL head coach John Rillie, former Australian cricketer Mike Hussey and Adelaide Crows coach Matthew Nicks.

“One thing I don’t really talk about is that I have a lot of people I can lean on – coaches, ex-coaches, ex-players, and people in business,” Marshall said on Friday.

“What [Bennett and I] talk about is pretty private between us, but he’s just so good to talk to. When you’ve got guys who have been through the same thing and understand what it is, that’s helpful.

“I’ve also got a leadership group I’m in called Leader. They run these courses, and I’ve got four head coaches from other sports in my group … We run a lot of things by each other, which is really helpful because they’re in similar situations in different sports and go through the same stuff.”

Asked if there was any advice that resonated, Marshall said: “For me, it’s a constant journey of learning and evolving. Obviously, I got thrown in with little experience and had to ride through a few things in the first three years that a lot of people don’t go through in their whole career.

“But you’ve got to grow from it, learn from it, and be more ready to deal with things in the future if they come about again. You just have to keep learning. It’s tough, I’ll be honest, but at the same time, there’s no other job in the world where I’d get as much purpose as I get from doing what I’m doing right now.

“I get to help young men not only play footy, but become better people. If I reflect on the first half of the season, there were signs there that we’ve got enough to do it. We just need to make sure that it doesn’t get away from us again like it did this year.”

It's not just that someone has changed what you have said your voice is not yours and it's slandering you someone could look at that can change there perception of you


It's 1984

It's childish and dangerous

I'm not sure about what we've spent. I've had a look, but the numbers from HBG aren't transparent.

With Jarome leaving (even with the Eels kicker), we should have some decent change left over.

Benjamin mite need to go do Gods work and tend to his flock because the football thing is not working out for him

Just seems a fluff piece organised by his missus to lower the pressure valve on him.

I doubt there’s a lineup around the block to coach this club.

She never heard of a reach around

He got his career mentor sacked a year early FFS.

I really get tired of being pinned over Benjis' Barrell

 

[Flippedy]

Come on bro

We came 13th in 2025 with basically the same roster. We are coming 14th now with two less wins.

We also barely had any injuries in 2025.

We have had the majority of our team back for a while and we are not even competing. We're getting smashed week in week out. We have lost twice to the wooden spooners.

There are no signs of a team that will improve when we have 2 injured players back next year.

We entered this season with:

• No first choice winger, apart from Turuva.
• No first choice centre, apart from May.
• No first choice halfback.
• No back-up hooker.
• No forward depth.

Unless I have missed something, none of that has been addressed, except maybe we have bought a new center, unless he ends up in the halves who knows.

Regressing at a rate of knots.

Tell that to the twits who resigned him for 4 more years.

They're all Magpie supporters. I wonder if they have an interest in ensuring the Tigers fail?
