Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

How should they view him?
How should May address him on his podcast?

Not as 'bro'. I think it's fine calling the captains bro they're playing with, but the coach no way

 

[rugbygoated]

It's the new wave of coaching approach and too early to criticise, I can guarantee that it's not all smiles and slaps on the back there's too much at stake.

When the pressure is on and it becomes serious, the stick would make an appearance, I'm sure of that.

I've never seen it successful, but benji may break the mould in that sense. How much time does he need though

 

[rugbygoated]

Shut up you fool you have no idea what you are talking about

I do. You are throwing the dog whistles out and acting like a victim lol

 

[The Chad]

And how does that make you feel? Hope should be the third hooker at the club …


They are going to need to sign a better back up than Hope … i don’t know who though

How many clubs have significantly better options than Hope as the back-up though?

I'd say the club needs options. Not necessarily upgrades. The fact that it's Hope & then the kid at the moment is a problem. Another option in the KOE would be ideal. A guy that can play a bit of #13 as well would be perfect.

this forum is dreadful at times, negative about things that aren’t even relevant. benji literally talked about how tough he is with the playing group & he’s not in it to make friends and you think he wants to be besties with them all. yawn

Talk is cheap.
His runs are not on the board to take what he says literally.

You don’t even know me you germ.
Labelling people like you do is a mutt way to behave. Grow up.

 

[Tucker]

If Benji gets confronted with a situation, and his buddy-buddy relationship gets in the way- fair enough. But if he makes the tough call?

Thing is- it hasn't happened. So bagging him for being 'too close' is just speculation.

You could argue it has happened at the selection table.

As long as it takes to raise the quality of the squad enough to the point that we should be entrenched in the top 8 on paper.

When that happens and it's still a way off, if Benji can't deliver then well that's when questions should be asked and the knives will be sharpened.

This squad could have played finals this year.

What is it with you cowards always playing the man?
Argue the point I made.

I love it. Woulda Shoulda Coulda! Go Tucker!

 

[Tucker]

Ivan Cleary is pretty close to a few of his guys...

They have taken him to 5 successive GFs, of course that fosters relationships. Why is Benji so close? He is operating in reverse.

 

[tigahhh]

if Tucker was coach we’d be top 4. he doesn’t just talk.

Understand the point.
The squad WAS good enough to play finals.
It is a cop out to say they aren’t.

Coward

The comparison is laughable. Of all coaches to choose from, he chose the one gunning for 5 consecutive premierships.

 

[tigahhh]

Coward

if you thought we’d play finals off the back of 3 wooden spoons in a row you’re delulu sorry

Let's look at facts. They didn't play finals.
