Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Richo walked away , although he was smart enough to see he was well protected financially ..Ivan ran away to escape a massive problem he was chiefly responsible for .. … who else “walked away”? The others were all sacked and hung on collecting their inflated pay packets as long as they could

I actually liked Richo … he is genuinely the only person that tried to change things here .., he copped it eventually

if Benji is seriously being stymied in his attempts to rebuild the team to his liking … I am very surprised he puts up with it

Sacked/walked away - same shit. No one has stuck around. Massive contracts are paid out on the regular here - yet we blame those who leave for the clubs failure. Isnt it about time we start looking at where the rot is coming from? Who is ultimately responsible?

We need a coach that says---------MARK YOUR OPPOSIT!

Yep Tiger Stripes
Are the wingers on double pay if they leave their opposite wing and rush in towards the centre 🤷‍♂️
There winger scores in the corner and we get to watch the replay watching our centre would have tackled his opposite and our winger could have Just MARKED HIS MAN.
It has to come back to the defence coach getting them to do it, otherwise we would be swapping wingers every week.

No it’s not… they would still be here collecting their millions otherwise

I blame everyone … including those that walked away and got sacked and are running the club for this never ending crap show … like I said there is plenty of blame to go around

They dont need to be here to collect their millions - their contracts were paid out early. They didnt even need to work for it. Who were the smart men and women behind those contracts I wonder?

You can blame people from 10 years ago if you want, but they arent the ones still here making crappy decisions that put them there in the first place. We know where the blame sits yet we are all shot down for calling it out.

On a seperare note, Im glad the magpies fans got their day out at lidcombe oval for $20 entry on sunday whilst the wests tigers fans paying thousands for their memberships only got to watch just one match. People are paid to make these decisions, they don't just happen by chance.

Answer this question - does Benji control this playing squad or not ? Who comes, who gets extended and who goes

Tom - so I can understand. Are you just generally throwing out complaints or do you have something that you think should happen that is not happening?

If so, how would you achieve it? Are you saying Benji should get the sack? the players? we should sign a particular player? What is it exactly?

Happy to expand mate …

I am pissed that this squad is terrible , and nothing ( Averillo aside - we assume he is still coming ) is being done to improve it …

Players could have been added these past 8 months for 2027 … but little seems to be done and there is seemingly no urgency to change things up ..

So you tell me .., who is to blame ?

No, I will not.

You are choosing to ignore the bigger issue and playing the scapegoat game.

The shit will land on Benjis head eventually and he will be added to the list of people at fault - while the ones truly at fault arent accountable to anyone once again.

he is responsible for the squad … which is clearly deficient… no scapegoating there .. he owns it

Tell me sheenius, how does a coach clear out a squad of 30 contracted players in just 2 seasons?

You are looking for a scapegoat instead of asking the important question: Why is Benji in this position?

So tell me mate, why is Benji in the position he is with the squad he has?

As I told you before and you ignored … there are 22 players under contract for 2027 … what cleaning out is required ?

Benji is not immune from blame mate

You dont go from the slums to the penthouse overnight mate.

He is a rookie coach with no runs on the board and inherited the shittest squad in the nrl (3 years in a row).

Its not like fantasy coach where benji could simply pick the players he wanted. He has to sell them on the vision of the club.

So ill ask again, who is to blame as to why benji finds himself in this situation? The decision makers is who.
