    2022 R16 Sat - South Sydney 30-12 Parramatta @ Accor

    Speaking of which, given he has withdrawn from Origin eligibility, he’s not eligible to play next week, right?

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    It’s literally what happened mate. Sigh all you want.

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    I think some of that is fair, and if players were leaving because they don’t want to play under him was a regular occurrence i’d want him gone too. There are too many quality players - and humans - there that seem to like him. Guys like Klemmer and Friz don’t suffer fools, and they are all in...

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    Somebody has read a few business motivation books too many. I’m comparing the situation of a guy who finished 7th last year and coming 12th now - a situation someone asked “who has survived anything like this” - to someone who actually survived much worse than this, developed the team and then...

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    This years squad is not as good as last years - losing Pearce is underrated in leadership of the team, and losing Brailey has been huge. The leadership within the club has been pretty poor to be honest. The Ponga situation doesn’t happen at the big clubs, and that’s on Phil and not AOB. The...

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    Did I? Someone asked who has survived such a drop in form, I answered the question.

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt at this point. I don’t see anyone better who will come here that’s going to revolutionise the club.

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    We are nothing like the Roosters - agreed. Storm, Panthers, Eels. Nowhere close to them. I don’t get why we expect AOB to perform to those standards with a team nowhere near those teams, with a bunch of injuries on top of that? You guys can deflect all you want, but we obviously see him as a...

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    My point remains. If you look at a coach as a long-term coach, sacking after one poor year is short-term thinking. We can be like the Roosters and take some time to build and develop, or we can be like the Tigers and sack coach after coach. I don’t understand why you guys want to be like the...

    Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce

    Cool. We have the Anthony Robbins of the forum here. Effort gets you so far - which I agree has been lacking. But there is no replacing talent and leadership, which we don’t have.

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    Trent Robinson coached the team in 2015 to minor premiers, then 15th in 2016. Now, if the Roosters were short sighted - like they have been guilty of in the past - and got rid of him after that season, do they win 2018 and 2019? Sometimes change needs to be more than sacking the coach and...

    Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce

    A second director of Wests has publicly said AOB isn’t getting paid out. Get ready for him to hang around.

    Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce

    Nonessential? You are saying the spine of Ponga-Milford-Clifford/Clune-Randall is a top 8 team? I don’t care how much effort we put in - that spine doesn’t keep up with the top 8 at a minimum - and our place on the ladder suggests I’m right. We so badly miss Brailey it’s not funny. His...

    Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce

    Jesus mate. What does the next coach - after AOB - do with this squad tomorrow if AOB gets the sack? It’s not a hard question to answer - except if you don’t have any answers.

    Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce

    I said what does a new coach do with this squad right now. You said don’t get the squad get worse over the last three years. Your solution is a new coach doesn’t let the old coach get the squad worse to start with. Actually impossible. So, if AOB gets the sack tomorrow, how does someone turn...

    Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce

    He said as much to Barry Toohey. Do I not believe him? You don’t have any answers and are giving up. Similar to what you are accusing the coach of doing then?

    Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce

    No, I asked what a new coach can do, and your answer was not letting the old coach regress. Thats what you said. You can’t throw your arms up saying I don’t get it.

    Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce

    There is nothing ideal about where we are right now, and I’m a bit lost around why we are so flat and slow on the field. Some of that has to fall on Ponga as captain. Some has to fall on the senior players. Some had to fall on the coach. He’s not going to get the sack. Toohey’s article says as...

    I mean, he left to become a real estate agent in what will be a terrible market to sell. Maybe his decision making isn’t what we need any way?

    Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce

    So your solution is a new coach doesn’t let the old coach get things this bad. Awesome solution.
