Rabbitohs add Ben Hornby to coaching staff as Development Coach

[This Year?]

I'm happy that captain cranky gets to further his coaching career.
Hopefully he will be available for a head coach position in 2022.

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

trained by mary everone would want him

That means, 50% off marked goods!

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

Ben Hornby was the sacrificial lamb. Mary threw him to the wolves. If Benny thinks he's good enough he probably is. Good luck to Ben Hornby still a dragons legend and always will be

This.

Best move for Ben to be honest.

Being part of our structure in 2020 will not improve anyone's resume. Can only lead to heartache.
He has a chance now to leave his comfort zone, and learn the trade properly.

I join the chorus of best wishes to this man who played his heart out for the Big Red V and also gave his best as assistant coach .

To the Dragons hierarchy I say shame on you mongrels - you simply cannot go crapping on decent folk as they will only bounce back bigger and better as a result. May he reap all the benefits that a SUCCESSFUL club such as the Rabbitohs can give him .

Meanwhile here at the Dragons we will continue to play marbles in the dirt . . .

Yeh as i said a few weeks ago where is the club's media interviewing him before he departed (didnt expect that) or some statement wishing him the best
He was our club premiership winning captain, highest capped player and whatever else he achieved at our club. Walks out without even a mention of him departing and why, good luck from the supporters etc
No mention from our illustrious coach or anyone about his services.
The Dragons media can go and..............I am furious with the way our club is run

f**k me...

This is so true. Not a f**king mention of " thank you " , " all the best ", a reminder of what a ONE club man has achieved, 270 plus games, Title, Captain, Rep honors and not even a tweet from the Club.

Shameful... Utter garbage.
Thx for posting that BLM01.

Show some class Saints. Your ego cant be any more damaged.

Your welcome. Deserved better..god they gave Lats a ceremonius farewall through the media just because he was good with them...how many games did he play for us again?
And someone should say to Mary. What is the difference between you & Ben.
Ben knew how to take his team as captain to a title on GF day...boom boom

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

It’s a good move for him. Escape the intense scrutiny of our rabid fan base and get a proper apprenticeship. This is something several others in our organisation should have done and who knows they might have made decent coaches.

Spot on
Its interesting how it works If Tyson was to leave at the end of the year for another club we will hear nothing. 8 years near 200 games means nothing but if Luke retires we will give him a farewell.

I am telling you if we are lucky enough to get a good one our next CEO has got a huge job changing the whole structure and administartion and priorities of this club back to a positive and way forward

Blaming the fan base ?
Sorry, Nah.
Its a good move for HIM... yes. Our problems lie much deeper than our fans.

Well

Well said! Now weren’t they banging on about culture as an outcome of the “review”? Seems that part is yet to be implemented. Shameful treatment of a true club legend!

Great post
The club is so amateurish & at times embarrassing.

On Ben, good luck to him at least he’s now in a good coaching structure with a professional club. It’s interesting that part of his role is being in charge of skills, something so lacking with our mob.

 

[BLM01]

Well

Culture..Cmon..We have won 11 in a row..culture is inbred...or so they still believe.
The Dragons have got more important things of concern about holidays and sending staff on wine soaked junkets so..Mary...well he learnt how to use a microphone so people hear him talking and to not wipe your feet before entering a building so they know what parts of the building you've walked in.

Maybe Forbes is coming from a different angle, but you have to admit that Benny copped his fair share of shit on these forums. It wouldn't be hard to go back and find where someone's bagging the shit out of him for poor coaching or calling for his sacking.

It seems odd to me that it's all poor Benny now that Bennett has picked him up whereas barely a peep in the thread that highlights it - https://forums.leagueunlimited.com/threads/football-department-review-finalised.478604/

I'm not suggesting the fans are to blame at all - just pointing out how fickle this place is.

Good luck to him. I admire him as a player, a Dragons captain and what is now considered very rare - a one club player. I think he'll do well as a coach eventually.

Fair call. I am a little tired of the " unrealistic fan " argument. When in fact we are pretty frickin loyal.
Its not Forbes, its the general feeling that everyone other than the Club hierarchy are to blame. Anyway, all good. Hope you are well.

I think it is more the way the club has handled the departure....admittedly not raised by fans until we see him in Souths gear.

Furious - is a bit of an understatement buddy . The J.V. is an absolute joke , how long we can remain in the NRL is what concerns me whilst our pack of imbeciles are running the show .

To lose good up and coming young players to other clubs , assistant coaches whom imo were better than our current clown while continuing to prop him up with others is a travesty of justice. The Dragon hierarchy have blood on their hands as they and they alone are responsible for the fall from grace of the Big Red V .
