Ben Hornby

What an odd thing to say.

Not really

So, given that Ben was roundly bagged out after his first few games in charge,......and then lionised after a few wins..... whats todays stance given he's not selected Gray but has Kennar and Taane starting

Jai 5/8
Wighton centre.

But I agree you don't change a winning team and Jai has not been seen at 5/8 in first grade.

Picking Milne and Kenner in the centres this week is out if necessity. I think both are in great form at present but not NRL level for a centre. The fact that Hornby has given Trell the long kicking duties over Cody shows that he's not a 2nd JD. That was a looooong overdue move.

Hornby just confirmed in his presser that Jai will play against both Parra and the Dolphins then go for his surgery.

Im sure Parra would love to have guys other than Russell, Tago and Talagi (as a winger at least) in their back 5 too. The NRL is looking pretty battered and bruised across the competition at the moment. Really has become a battle of attrition 2025.

They got morgan harper in reserve grade

I’d rather Milne and Gagai than Harper. And I’d rank him as desirable a centre as Kennar. He’s a liability.

I'd take Kennar over Harper...and that's damning with faint praise.

neither deserves to be dropped on currenbt form and effort- Jye Gray is a work in progrees and others have said LM is the best in that position

Didn't want to begin a new thread for this. Thought this is the most appropriate place.

Any news about Bennett's support staff next season? Assistant coaches, football manager, etc.

Is he retaining Hornby, Furner, O'Callaghan, and Ellison in these positions?

Is he bringing down his long-time Performance man Jeremy Hickmans, or retaining Croll?

Unless I’ve missed something completely, no word.

We’ll likely only get unofficial trickles prior to them making the full coaching staff announcement (likely at season’s end). They held any announcements last year to announce all at once.

All I know is Hornby is staying put.

Wayne said this week that Ben will certainly be staying. They showed him saying that on 360 tonight
