Richo was right there with him. HBG destroyed that. If I could be bothered, I'll research what nonsense you were spewing for each of our other coaches...let's see what that reveals.

The man you worship made plenty of bad decisions and we are now paying the price.
Mielekamp is also there to help Benji, but he is now in a conundrum knowing we have already given Benji far too much control before he had any say in the matter.
How likely is it that Benji would just accept Shaun now making a decision to employ different coaching staff to have more say in game plans, team selection, interchange etc and how likely is it that Benji would now just accept it if Shaun was to make a decision tjo employ a new recruitment manager?
Very unlikely that Benji would accept any of these changes due to the power and control he has previously been given.

Benjis got too much power,
Did your HBG buddies celebrate that by a monster extension that no one deserved?

The club decision makers which I assume was a directive from the club owners made a very poor decision in extending Benji’s contract.
That does not excuse the poor decisions from the previous CEO in giving Benji so much power and control to start with.
So in other words if you owned the club and appointed our previous CEO who gave Benji all this power and control, you would have also been to blame.
Put it this way, had Benji quite rightfully not been extended, our season would have still come crashing down as it is now and how many supporters would have then been blaming instability as the reason for it.
We could have new owners come in tomorrow and they would still need to make a decision to either back and support Benji for a bit longer, or revoke his power and control which would lead to him departing and we essentially start another rebuild.

Richo didn't extend Benji for five years.... their or the "we" as you refer to them - only plan was to throw it all in Benji' s lap and hope for the best.
Unless you know Shaun personally how do you know what his position was in relation to that appointment given he was interim CEO at the time and made the announcement. Is he a yes man or he just might have advised it!

Richo was deadset setting it up for a smooth Benji termination, I have no doubt about that.

The decision to extend Benji is proving to be a very poor decision.
The decision to give Benji full power and control was made well before then.

You keep repeating "bad decisions" and citing the control Benji has.

HBG extended Benji for 5 years mate....Richo was long gone when that happened....why do you never mention that?

I don't particularly care if Sam Fainu leaves. He's done nothing to deserve a massive pay day from us. I'd like him to stay but won't cry in a heap if he leaves. He's no where near the elite back rowers of the game, but WTs seem to think he is a god out of nothing.

Our backrowers are just about the only thing we have going for us. Samuela would be a huge loss

I have mentioned that as yet another bad decision.
Facts are facts and it was a bad decision.
Everyone we have had involved over the past 15 years including the owners, coaches and CEO’s have all constantly made bad decisions.

Does anyone.think HB gave that extension knowing full well Benji was outta his depth and would likely fail.
Will they sack him knowing they have to pay out millions?
Unlikely
They really dont seem too concerned about WTs...renovating ashfield,.buying soccer clubs..magpies at lidcombe and acquiring rozelle is their focus

A bad decision that they made on the back of another bad decision when they dismantled the board and effectively were forced to reassure the playing group that the coach was safe by giving him an unearned extension.
This is all on the faceless men/ women and the repercussions of inept decision making - far outweighing anything negative Richardson did in his twelve month tenure.
 
I'm at 17 years membership, was thinking about sticking it out to reach 20, but I don't think I'll last that long.

Not sure how, after the first 7 rounds, we'd have 5 wins, 2 close losses by a grand total of 5 points, have a for and against in positive triple figures to now have the worst defence in the comp.

Probably the most disheartening season in over a decade, to start the year with so much promise to be reduced to this....

You're so one eyed in your hate for Richo you can't even see how stupid your comments are.

I'm almost positive it's because he never responded to your emails because you came across as a crackpot.

A CEO will give the coach full reign so they have no excuses if it doesn't succeed.

At that point the CEO can say...mate, we tried it your way. I didn't get in the road. Time to relinquish some control or leave.
