Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Pretty obvious imo the dressing room is a warzone atm. Seems theres massive division. Biggest problem we have and Shaun confirmed the season derailed when our leader signed with P.N.G and blokes stopped listening to him. Half the guys want him to play the other half want him to go. After what Doueihi did we have the exact same problem next year. The half that want Luai to play want Doueihi gone, the half that want Luai gone want Doueihi to play. Its a complete shamozzle. If Brlenji had any balls both Doueihi and Luai would be already out the door. Put kids in were getting pumped by 50 anyway.

Putting kids in if we’re getting pumped by 50 can’t be great for their development

KPP was one of our best in the early rounds no doubt. But the jury is out on the affect he could have had over the second half of the season when you look at how some other players have fallen away.

Mate theyve given up, you can see when the opposition bust our line they just turn and look. Pretty telling when Shaun told Gary that the season was derailed once Luai signed with P.N.G. For him to openly say that the sheds must be a toxic hellhole atm. Iv got ni doubt we have two halves playing togeather who in private prob cant stand eachother. Our genius coach plays Andrews against the Raiders, not against the Dragons where he would have so much more opportunity to shine. I was all for giving Benji next year but im off him totally now. Hope he proves me wrong but imo he has done sweet f.a to arrest the collapse of the season and only contributing to it. He walked the plank last week putting Doueihi in at 7 after what he did. Its only a matter of time before hes done. Uf Shaun has 2 beaincells hes telling Benji who his assistants are and hes picking guys that can take over once Benjis gone. Enough is enough. Uts standards for everyone or standards for noone.

Hadnt heard anything so silly in ages. Backing Benji when we get players back next year. He kept going on saying your assuming. Fair enough then lets look at facts. Sheens came in with Benji as an assistant to learn. Truth was Sheens was just the face while Benji was doing the coaching so that was no pressure on Benji. When Sheens was going to pick up a spoon he told Benji he needed to get hands on cause it was Sheens rep. Benji and the club refused and Sheens walked away. Benji and the club telling him he knew the risk and he agreed. Now Benji has been coaching for 4 years now. We have 2 wooden spoons. A 13th place finish and yet to be seen but prob 2nd last this year. For 4 years our attack has been garbage, our defence non existant and the so called standards at the start if the year, thrown out the window. After Luai signed with P.N.G any coach with 2 braincells starts realigning things for the future. Not Benji we just keep putting him in at 6. Latu plays every position other that the one he is taking next year, wingers at centre. A bunch of guys who need surgury, instead of ending their seasons now so they can have surgury and be right for preseason and hit the ground running next year, no we will keep playing them, maybe once their limbs fall off we will worry about it. We have no depth, Benji assembled this squad, Benji called Herbert while on a bobcat to see if he wanted to come. This is Benjis roster. Any kind of a coach even an amature one doesnt allow Doueihi to play last week, not our one. What pisses me off is in the pod last night he was using the mental health card. How we need to worry about men hurting themselves. Bullcrap, im so sick of this mental health excuse. There are men and women who suffer greatly with mental health, dont dishonor their struggle with a halfwit N.R.L player. My question to the guy on the pod would be this, so Adam couldnt play because of his mental health, fair enough, then you explain to me how on thursday hes mentally unwell but by monday morning in the meeting hes good to go. So in 3 days 2 of which was a weekend he went and saw a pasychiatrist or psychologist and got his mental health sorted. If he could get it sorted in 3 days how bad could it be. Also the guy your backing with your rubbish back the Bunj. Benji admitted when he spoke about it, that he was trying to call Adam to get him to play. Why are you trying to convince a guy to play who you believe is mentally unfit at that time. If the guy on the pod is so worried about mens mental health then he has to admit Benji is unfit to coach. Not back Bunj. Its an excuse and all bullcrap. The guy on the pod is taking the piss, im sorry for the rant but im so sick of these fanboys who make up all this gibberish and live in a fantasy. It shouldnt be back the Bunj it should be Sack the Bunj. Hes the biggest nepo baby in the N.R.L.

AD doesn’t deserve to play but could get ugly with Cows, Penrith, Roosters coming up rather it burn him than them

..and Luai is toxic,and shld be removed from the club immediately
Cant stand the thought of him in Samuelas ear directly..although deal probably already done whenever it may be
Play a young bloke at 6 for remainder of season alongside Douhi,and we will address latter at the appropriate timing

I agree with you in that sense, though i think in the longer term punting him though it cause pain now puts us in a better standing later with the players we have. Both Adam and Jerome this year screwed our club over royally and neithet should ever be allowed to put the jersey on again. I know Jerome had clauses and could sign, still no excuse for him saying im all in never leaving and tge rest of his garbage. Honestly 1.2 million on him on the pitch wasnt wirth the money. Maybe at training but on game day he hasnt really done much.

Bula was dynamic in the early rounds too. Same as AD and Sam. Easy to start blending in with the rest when we start struggling.

It's amazing how the Dolphins can build a respectable team in Redcliffe within 4 years of inception, but we cannot rebuild a team in Leichardt/Balmain/Campbelltown/Concord/Birchgrove/Australia/Planet Earth in 15 years lol

That has been the biggest question in my mind since the Dolphins entered the competition. Also why can Newcastle go from spooners to finalists in one season?

So Benji doesn't set the culture for the team ? Benji doesn't pick the lead ship group and captain of the team ?

Benji doesn't basically have full control of football operations and recruitment ?

The point is simple so simple I'm surprised you can't comprehend it.

If you want full control which he has then you take full responsibility......

When was Galvin captain? Luai hasn't had any trouble commanding interest from other clubs what do you think PNG has done by announcing him as their first major signing and look at the players that have followed from that!

What are you missing given both players were targeted by other clubs?

All those guys are busted...hopefully KPP will be fully fit when he returns
But there has been an unfortunate change in attitude and culture ..and respect for the coach
...and hopefully KPP has the leadership skills to take us forward
