Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[bathursttiger1]

Recruitment is obviously the main factor moving forward, but still think the assistant coaches are going to be super important to Benji’s success as head coach. Assuming Furner and Farah stay on, the fourth assistant needs to bring a lot. Maybe another older, steady head with past head coach experience and good track record of training structures. The KOE and JF coaches also key as they need to coach the same style and structures as first grade and help bring on the next generation.

Re-signing Staines & Laurie covers FB, wing & 5/8.

Latu Fainu to cover 7/6

Sam Fainu to the bench- 2nd row

Zac Fulton- 13

Brad Parker/Mawene Hiroti/Adam Pompey/Bradman Best/ Paul Momorovski- #3/#4

Keio Weekes- Wing/Centre

Hymel Hunt/ Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega/Waqa Blake/ COREY ALLEN- Wing

Clune/Sezar/Cogger/Walker/Trindall/Taaffe/Schneider/Lam/Pearce....Mbye? (insert additional names here)- 7/6

Bayley Sironen/Corey Waddell/Bryce Cartwright- 2nd Row depth

Obviously some of these players are not exactly 'exciting', but the right combinations can give the squad the right mix.

There is money to spare, so no need to be super frugal. BUT- the club needs to learn from previous mistakes- don't overspend on talent. For example- I'd be happy for Mbye to be back, on $300k. But $800k would cause a riot.

If he IS available- the team is in position to throw good money at Sam Walker. If they can make him a marquee signing, fill the roster with solid players, with our forwards & the young players coming through...

Your analysis was good……and then I read Mybe………..you suggested Mbye……………..

It appears they have these jobs until they die… a bit like the Pope or the Queen

Reminds me of an old Simpsons episode when Homer formed a vigilante group to find the cat burglar and the power went to his head and he started running roughshod all over Springfield. Lisa says “If you’re the police, who will police the police?”. I feel like Pascoe’s response would echo Homer’s “Idk, Coastguard?”

I think in a recent interview sheens basically said Benji is already the full time coach, so current results must surely rest with him, so nothing would change except name

Than it seems we are good to go.

There was nothing to lose. Only gain. Right now they are in pain. No sun, no rainbows. Only black clouds and rain.

Same thing they said with Webster, Payten ( the big hombre) and Potter. They chose Taylor.

Ben Gardiner was a former PDHPE teacher at my children’s school. His an intelligent and level headed young man. I was sorry to see him leave the school to take up a role with the Roosters, and delighted when he was appointed assistant coach at the tigers last year. I recall he coached one NRL game for tigers last year. The game we lost to the cowboys in Townsville. I thought the tactics that game were spot on. His press conference after the game was refreshing. I wish he wasn’t moved on at the end of last season, but happy for him to be at the Panthers where he can further develop. He is a NRL coach in waiting.
