He'll get a couple of years with the Luai-Galvin at the least

I think the only coaches who are under pressure for their jobs next season are
O'Brien
Payten
& behind them would be
Siebold (needs to make finals and win 1 game)
Webster (only if they **** the bed again next season)
Robinson (if they finish bottom 8 next season he could be in trouble)
Everyone else is safe imo.

Interesting that 4/5 of that list were finals teams last year.
I guess there has been a lot of change recently for the bottom 9 sides.
I think with Payten, he is similar to O'Brien. Neither of them will ever win a comp. Half decent coaches on their day but there just not good enough.

Possibly, but the joints a snakepit, and he cldnt get his ol mate Lodgey Boy a gd deal.
I'd like to see Benji do some pre-season army boot camp coaching training. Really test his coaching mettle in extreme conditions.

Especially when that side had been wooden spooners the two seasons prior to him taking over

Shane Richardson is a smart operator. The first one the Tigers have had in the front office for a very, very, very long time. The only stability they had was the same morons running the joint into the ground. Rico won’t flinch under pressure and throw Benji under the bus to save his own skin. He is not a glory hound. I also don’t think Benji is a fool who would take on the job without some assurances/agreements that he would be given time. I reckon unless he pulls the pin early, he gets at least 2025. Remember the original plan was that Tim Sheens would still be coach for 2025. How long is Benji’s contract?

Wasn't it 5 years initially?

I think you could be right. 5 years – 2 under Tim and 3 as head coach.

That's my recollection of how it was supposed to play out.
yeah just read 2023/2024 was meant to be under sheens with 2025 being his first full year in charge.
Although versatile I can’t imagine he commands much more than min wage
In saying that I’m also not sure how they’d have much more than min wage available.
Doesn’t really make sense to me he’d want to move early? Backup in great team can backup in maybe good team with loads of question marks…
Maybe would make more sense if he was a Queenslanders but he’s actually born in WA and grew up in NSW
He's a WA boy and grew up in Newcastle it says. So yeah not sure. Broncos i believe wanted him early, not sure if he was also keen.

But surely the Broncos would have players in their squad coming off contract at the end of 2025?
This has been discussed already but i don't see any chance of the donkeys keeping both Cobbo & Staggs. (Yes there coach thinks they can) but i feel that is just bullshit. Signing Anderson could mean they know they will be losing one of the two. Not saying Anderson is anywhere near the level of either however it gives them further depth in the centre position.
