Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[SeanT]

I don't know if you are watching the Titans guys but they are short odds for the spoon just diabolical.

Not sure what Des is coaching. Their forward pack is half decent.

‘Close to signing’ a player they can’t even talk to for 6 months…

Ok!!

They could potentially sign anyone that is off contract now couldn’t they?
It would then be up to the player to find a 1 year contract for next year with another club.

I think the biggest mistake Benji is doing is changing positions of the players.

AD, you stay at Center or get out of here.
Samuela, second row seems your best position> lock him in there.

Why?
Attack, you know where people are. You know what role people can do. No-look passes are possible because you have a good feel and gel of the team.

Defense, you trust the person next to you. A key item of defense is when a Center knows to move out or in. You either create an overlap or let a player through. ...

All comes down to GEL!

Which players has Benji been moving around?

Broncos fans want Hetherington gone. Hopefully we’ve closed that chapter.

Plenty of dud calls.

Very good forward pack. Just need some direction.

They are a good #9 & #7 away from being a good team.

agree, they keep signing fullbacks to fill their spine and it’s becoming a detriment

This team really needed Ben Hunt.

I don't get the bidding for Brown...
Good player, Parra's offer of 900k was fair if Overs.

1m for 10 years is a panic buy... Which means we get to pinch some front row off them.

I agree but also, the proof is in the pudding.

They will have a few genuine game breakers, but as Api says, they will need to resolve their combinations to get them to the ball with a bit of opportunity.

Kpp is a good buy for us. Months and months of negotiation apparently.

Well he’s playing a 90kg hooker as an edge back rower and keeps chopping and changing his halves, he’s lost the plot.

Enjoyed Benji’s “Coaching Insider” this week. Speaks straight up, supports his players always respectful where it’s deserving but not afraid to call someone or something out when he needs to. Handles the media very well.

What was there to negotiate that took so long…..was he unsure of the move…

A good reserve grader and half decent defender….kills all attack though and infective with his runs…

I just saw that Tino has player options at the end of every season in his contract ..
Stuff fafita, go for Tino!

The problem is, elite players who have been trapped in a busted club tend not to head to another club that is struggling. Because of their status in the game they will field offers from plenty of the strong clubs and that’s where they will head. We have to aim at the players next level down who have the potential to be elite

Is it still heath starting as 6 today?

 

[tigahhh]

anyone predicting a win today ?

Yvonne Sampson tipped them … for what that’s worth …

 

[boonboon]

Yes - their left edge defence is woeful and our right side attack is class. If we can hold the middle we will win. Worried about our bench though

McLean is a liability if we’re smart we’ll attack that , middles are the concern hopefully may leads strong

As a man manager you definitely can fault Benji IMO.

The way he answered the Api question makes me think is extension is imminent, and that there could very well be more to the TDS dropping - as suspected by some. Sorry to be a body language expert, hope I'm way off.

Benji has the potential to become another Uncle Wayne. He is a man-manager and a communicator who coaches the person as much as the footy player. Put the right coaches around him with the right roster, keep Richo stabilising and strengthening the front office, and Benji could become a coaching GREAT.
