There was a time around 2016-17, I grew nostalgic for Sheens and wanted to come back in a GM type role, similar to Gus. Too bad once he actually came back, his ego got the better of him. And until it’s proven otherwise, the succession plan to Marshall was ridiculous and something only Sheens would have done.

i wanted a vibrant Sheens - we got a somewhat hollow old man

Game had passed him by. Tried re-creating 05 by giving the players a licence to throw the ball around. That lasted about two weeks once he realised our backline consisted of Naden and Staines.

2 weeks in the knifing started,? Pasco n co thought an outsider would chase the scary straight talking man away.

Anyone think forgotten Johnny Morris may get the gig if Benji can’t do it this year? He’s shown more as a FG coach than Benji has. I’ll back BM for half the season if we don’t defend like bustards- benji like other rookies has failed and has something to prove (same as his playing career over time) - and he’ll be busting his arse to win the TV show - problem is the hard working serviceable players like Morris are usually better coaches. I wanted Flanagan (because he is a c word) - but I’m glad he is not here. I’d love Benj to succeed, but how many super star players like him have been successful? Ivan was great but no Benji and that’s all that comes to mind

At least the board has been resolved 1 more to go.

It looks that way. It would be a huge bonus if it performed like an independent board.

Why was he a lazy pillow? If he turns into a beast this year, it won’t be a great reflection on us. Same goes with Ice.

It’s also a reflection on him

It gives me hope GNR if you can get a GF so can I...

Hey guys I got me a wife. No need to argue with anyone on the Forum. I can get all the disagreements I can deal with right here at home!

One of our buildings is called Concord Oval Recreation Centre... how fitting

Can we not talk about the club &
Benji failing..for one millisecond!!!

Around the 6:40 mark Richo says the boys have an army camp for 3 days in where? Does anyone know where he said?

I would say that if there have been failures, it may not just be Benji.

How about John Morris, is he actually the guy that is responsible for our defence, something that has been a major problem for us for a very long time and still is.

I have high hopes of our attack going ahead in leaps and bounds this season, let's hope that our defence starts heading in the same direction.

Mate I am a supporter of Benj just divulging into the forum pre season mess of this thread for now😂

Apparently Samford

Just to bait @Kaito JM doesn’t get on the field to do drills with his team as head coach 😉

I do appreciate the mods letting this thread go wherever it wants - I’m guessing that changes when kick off happens.

With 1200 posts over 15 yrs you don't have to guess anything about how the forum is run

It’s being run a lot better than it used to be. Some mods got personal. I got pulled up on some banter the other day, asked me to reword my post, and then asked how I was and we had a bit of a chat, and now we have more of a connection as to where we’re both coming from. I won’t name him/her but they will know who they are.
A couple of years ago I was in hospital and called it “the motel” a couple of times and two mods cottoned on and pm’d me, and during my months at that motel and the following years of recovery they would check in on me. Again, they know who they are.
This forum, although can get a bit sharp from some members, is just passionate Tigers fans and that includes the mods. Where as I used to feel there was a hierarchy and the rest of us were allowed to use their forum.
Great work to all mods.
