all helped, not like mcguire went down then they went on a run is it?

You mean Bennetts coaching helped the Broncos make the GF? Not disagreeing with you there.

Remind me who sat out last year because of injury.

In regards to Queensland.. Probably Milford, he belongs at FB.

That's the joy of having a ball playing fullback like Slater in your team, you can change it up to keep the opposition guessing.

You mean just like Moylan?

no denying he had an impact, but the donkeys were always suppposed to be there or there abouts you are acting like he took the current tigers squad to the GF and won it

Comparing Moylan to Slater or Milford is like comparing Dunlop volleys to air Jordan's

True.

game plan for Slater, he gets injured after 5 minutes then the opposition has zero game plan for his replacement

Finally we get some answers to the questions. I will gladly answer these questions on the first go without making accusations of word twisting.

No Trent Robinson did not take his team to the GF this year.
Yes Bennett has won more premierships in his 40 years coaching than Robinson has won in his 5 years
Bennett achieved as expected. No team is expected to win and therefore he did not underachieve. Bennett had a great squad and setup and did not overachieve.
So if placing higher than the other coach is what makes them better does that mean Robinson was better in 2013 and 2014? Because in his 3 years as an NRL coach Robinson would have a 2-1 record and last time I checked 2 is still greater than 1

Yes 2 is greater then 1 as evident by the recent success as you suggest of a Bennett coached side beating a Robinson coached side 2 out of 3 times in 2015 or you know 2-1. Is that true?

If only I had a fullback like Dugan who when he's not to drunk to get to games spends more time clutching himself than Steve Matai

Those people who compared Moylan to Lockyer must have egg on their face then!

You guys know that you have 17 players to argue over as well as coaches right?

I thought McGuire missed a large portion of the season due to injury? I recall many people suggesting Thaiday was getting by on past success?

McGuire did miss a large portion due to injury. And before that he was one of the best young forwards in the game. For years he has been talked up to fill Matt Scott's boots when he bows out of Origin and when the time comes for Mcguire to assume that starting prop role he will do so and will succeed.

And Thaiday being past it. Please. You know just as well as I do that is just stupid nonsense from passionate NSWelshmen come origin time. Thaiday is still one of the best big match forwards in the game. If Thaiday is past it then you are only basing that on not being able to perform to the same level week in week out during the NRL season and if that's the case then maybe you should look at your own team because Matt Scott would also be indeed "past it"

Gus and Rabs have been know to make the odd mistake here and there

Not denying that. Just checking that we were on the same page with success of our coaches in recent years. Mine's got a premiership and 3 minor premierships all in the last 3 years. What have you got in that period?

Hard to argue with that, Thaiday and Scott are clearly past it. Unfortunate for the poor buggers who picked them

He could always play Coote at FB, at least then Coote would be doing something instead of sitting on the wing. But still good job on removing Cootes play making and kicking game from him, I am sure his size will make him excellent at finishing off plays on wing Krumpet.

Haven't even got round to Greg Bird yet...approve of woman beaters in your team do you?

Probably not, Lockyer can play 5/8.

Worried about him around your team of skirts?

Well considering Bennett has started at a new club (as in a different club to his previous) lets just focus on their recent success such as the past year. Measuring a coach who had 3 straight years at a club to build the roster they want and put all their practices into place to a coach who switched clubs is hardly fair. So you can confirm a Robinson coached side was beaten twice by a Bennett coached side in the past year?

Dugan, Fergo and Pearce in your side Welshy. Do they take turns getting stood down by the club or do they all just decide to get pissed off their faces at the same time so they all go down together?
