We’re looking for a new NSW Cup coach, Aaron Payne has apparently returned to Nth QLD. As per Richo on the latest official WT Pod.

McCarthy's playing career is very average and there's no successes evident in his coaching career. This has the smell of failure attached to it. But good luck to him

We tend to think that it’s all about one coach, and at the end of the day they’re the ones who take on the most responsibility. But a lot depends on those around the coach, the assistants mainly although a good, experienced leadership group within the team helps. I have no idea who were Aaron Payne’s assistants this year & no idea next year, I hope they can all work together and do a good job. The Cup squad should be better, some depth across the top 30 helps & younger players should improve especially if playing with players of higher quality.

I don’t mind seeing an extension but geez it seems knee jerk.

Also, no chair, three board vacancies and no CEO…so who’s making these decisions???

@joel Yeah I did wonder who is making the decision, so probably just media darts. Same as the story I saw 2 days ago that he might be sacked.

 

Knee jerk reaction, but a reaction to the rumours of 7 players threatening to leave of Benji is ousted.

 

The media circus is alive and well.

Extending Benji is the equivalent of signing sheets after sacking Maguire

oops. Yes sheens. It is a sound bite to buy time and paper over what has happened, using Benji’s legendary status as the face of the club and going back to trying to put to bed the HBg insanity by saying there is nothing to see here. The lack of movement from the NRL this week has me extremely worried.

offering Benji a new contract is ridiculous. But I would expect nothing less from Holman Barnes Group.
