Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[EllisFan]

Two stadiums funded

May brothers signed

Luai signed

Benji - not on a 5 yr over paid extension

Was in the process of getting luais clauses removed, extending bula and may before being removed

And like wtf would you know ??? He has won 3 premierships at 4 clubs and taken the other to a prelim final. Lol

What have you done?

He took Cronulla from bankrupt to a prelim final

He took souths from ownership takeover turmoil to a comp

Since he has left - we have no leadership - total reliance on benji - and extended all players for overs bc Jarome left and they panicked

It’s been a complete a dung pile since he left

Performances spiked when we signed respected figures in the game, Cleary, Richo & Jarome. We should be asking why they all left within 2 years.

Plus he’s an Isaac Moses coach

We’ll have plenty of new player options then … they mightn’t be ones in a lot of demand from other clubs though…

 

[Aussielion]

Yep, another reason to say no

 

[Blooey]

I don't think the NRL cares. They keep making money regardless

Hopefully we get flogged by 60 in Vegas and it embarrasses the NRL to the point where they're forced to make a change.

 

[Canberratiger]

I feel like we're going in circles again..
Sack the coach, sack the players same results...
If this club is to change, it has to be with new owners and new ideas.

Exactly right and now we are burning our club legends, the only people within the game who actually care about the club.

Finally some common sense .

Don’t buy into the media BS mate, hopefully our decision makers don’t.

 

[batboy]

He is a grinder ., the game has changed since Flanno was at his peak and he hasn’t adapted

Outside of the stacked team he had at Cronulla - and that 1 year where it clicked for them.

he’s been overall, a very poor coach!!

 

[Canberratiger]

I don't usually but (rightly or wrongly) the club can't get out of its own way, the decision makers have burnt Sheens and I imagine there are a few others who don't want to get involved. Then within the media you have a few of our legends who take every opportunity to join the pile on.
The club needs to be ripped out from the ownership level and rebuilt completely, almost as if it were an expansion club.

Mate he had them fighting all last season and this year the first 6 games putting effort in then came the coach excuse and the players folded

He would help the defence and tackling technique and effort into games then go get yourself a new attacking coach and start from scratch

💯 Odessa, Flanagan has tons of experience, he’s open to coming here and the bloke has had success, sign him up pronto; our present assistant coaches are not up to scratch imo. Haphazard defensive lines making park football mistakes most weeks !! Attack is disjointed , contrary to what a lot of people are saying , I see players trying hard but super-frustrated through poor coaching.
While we’re hiring , bring in someone of the calibre of “ the whisperer”, Joe Wehbe,who has helped a lot of players/teams in the NRL. The team needs a psychological reboot.
Players need direction!! Desperate times need desperate measures. Finally don’t play Luai for rest of the season, his head is not in the WT game now!!

I’ll give SM the benefit of the doubt, how he reacts to this will be telling.

Richo pleaded for stability and told us there would be these rocky times before the success. If you look at his previous clubs that’s how it goes.

Not a time for hysterical moves.

I don’t know how we can get change at ownership level they all protect themselves and hang out Benji, Richo, Lee, Pascoe, Sheens etc to dry. It feels hopeless

Unfortunately it’s great to be a club legend, but of no use if you aren’t capable of doing your job. Richo was the only success in recent memory and HBG took the rug from under him.

The NRL need to step in and make this happen

I've been saying it for ages, when does it get to a point when vilandys says enough is enough, and the NRL takes over this franchise, i don't know if that can happen there's probably better minds on here than me that would know, there has to come a time when vilandys says your constant infighting is harming the NRL brand and either takes full control or removes our licence

 

[Savvy]

I believe we need to keep Benji, mainly for his man management and have a “ Arthurs “ type experienced coach to organise and stratergise. I might be wrong but if Benji is ousted we might see the real blow up!

 

[innsaneink]

Did anyone see Alex S after he scored his try?? he kissed the club emblem.

Id say thats a statement that hes pissed off at being dragged into Douehis drama

 

[Tucker]

lol

Hbg brought up bs to make him leave

He left bc he wanted independence

They sacked 4 directors plus the chairman out of the blue and you want him to work with those people? All bc of an organge jersey lol

Galvin was gone before he had a chance to work it

Galvin didn’t kile Benji and it was over when he got there - much like when cleary arrived at tigers too late and couldn’t rescue moses, teddy and woods - the damage had been done and they were one foot out the door.

Richo was stuck with benji when he got. There and had to stick up for the coach. If Richo were still around now - benji wouldn’t have a $1m salary for 5 yrs ! And he would probably sack him.

He was on a flight the next day to get adam Reynolds in Brisbane

As I said - won 3 titles with 4 clubs

I don’t need to say any more

All conjecture with no substance.
Yes he achieved good things elsewhere, but not here…and ran away rather than tough it out. If that impressed you 👍🏼 I’m a harder marker.

 

[Garrry]

If wests tigers sign Shane Flanagan that will open the flood gates for issac moses player's to join the club and in a couple of years when it's not working the club will be a mess with moses players leaving all at once,

Yeah, as much as this feeling of sack these useless pricks is the rally cry, getting rid of Benji now just hits the ship's hull with another cannon ball.

If you want this to happen you need to be at peace with another 5-year overhaul caused by the player movement who are pissed with Benji being shunted.

Another rinse and repeat, is your patience up for it again.

You’re a stupid marker

Your posts actually are quite good except this

He had one mandate - independent

Only took the job for that reason

Left when they terminated it

Who the hell would want to work for Dennis burgess lol

And look at what happened since he left

Leaks all over the shop dude
