Was it Reddy who threw that suicide pass within our own 10 metres. I think I remember seeing my heart jump out of my chest onto the coffee table last night. Might have something to do with anderson 'encouragement'.

Certainly the team are playing so much better under the new coach and given the key players missing I thought last night was an outstanding effort. The Titans played good footy and Parramatta turned them around when trys appeared inevitable. The effort was enormous.
What does concern me though is how Mr Anderson "wears his heart on his sleeve."
Im all for passion and encouragement and certainly expressions of dissapointment but the attack witnessed on Joel Ready in the "sheds" at half time and the aggression from the coaches box didnt appear to be any of those.
People respond to fear only for a short while before resentment steps in. Is this why Inu is simply not the player he was.
Maybe this is what the team needs but Im not so sure. Id like to add that Ive never seen Wayne Bennett act such as we witnessed last night.
I do hope Im not reading this wrong.

As a coach, his job depends on his players. If they don't perform, it's not the players that get sacked - it's the coach. I think he has every right to get pissed at poor performances.

As for Bennett...With all due respect to Anderson, who I respect greatly, he's no Bennett YET. Bennett has been in the game a long time, much like Brian Smith, and been very successful. He doesn't need to yell at you - he just gives you the cold shoulder. He commands that aura. Ando, unfortunately, is younger and less experienced and doesn't have that aura yet.

But I think what he's doing is right. Anderson is the boss, and if a couple of players are going to have a whinge and sook because the boss is mean, then screw 'em - piss 'em off, I say. I don't care whether it's Hindmarsh, Fui or Hayne. If they sook because Ando is mean and yells at them, piss 'em off. Don't want that sort of crap.

If I f*ck up in the workplace, I expect to get yelled at, harden the f*ck up you p*ssies.

You expect to get screamed and pointed at, right in the face, in front of your coworkers? :?

Im not feeling strongly either way re: Ando's demeanor. I've worked with some very calm and some very angry coaches, and they were both well received and well respected by players.
As someone said, as long as its not constant "yelling for the sake of yelling" then its ok.


But i know i wouldn't take that sh*t from my boss in my workplace! :lol:

But if you didn't do the right thing and your boss yelled at you, would you lash out?

I mean the players were clearly not doing what he wanted them to and he lashed out. If they then sook...:?

I confused myself. :oops:

I think what I meant to say was, if you didn't do the right thing and your boss had a go, would you not take it? Or would you accept you made a mistake and move past it?

I'm not saying Daniel Anderson is right in his method. But he is the boss, and if he reckons people aren't putting in, then I would expect the players to suck it up and do it.

Luke Burt may not be popular here but he is a perfect example - he hardly ever cops a spray from teammates or his coaches because he does his best as instructed by the people that want him to do things (ie: coaches and teammates). Burty will go out there every week and do exactly what the coach wants him to. He's a great club man and he won't cop a spray.

Reddy is also (or will be imo) a great club man, but maybe because he is younger/less experienced than Burty Ando thought he'd reinforce the point to him. I don't know...

I just feel that IF (because we don't know if they are or not) the platers sook that Ando is too hard on them, they can go fly a kite. Yes, everyone makes mistakes. But you take that criticism/spray and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Maybe that's just me, though.

Yea, Joel took the criticism - there was no arguing back!


I would cop a spray from my employer if i had done something wrong, but if i thought it had gone too far - hell no!

That was when Inu 'almost killed Prince with that terribly late charge after he kicked the ball.' You could tell it was late because prince stayed down until the penalty was given, then jumped up to kick the goal:sarcasm::x
Caylo didnt see what the penalty was for and asked the ref who told him it was terribly late and Inu had almost killed a player.

:lol: Classic

DA has every right to go off if he is not happy, some of the plays last night we're down right hopeless. If the players can't cop a spray from their coach they are in the wrong profession.

all jobs have different expectations of the boss reacting to someone making a mistake

I think most footy players would understand that their boss is gonna do his share of yelling and going off at times

but most people would get narky if their boss really unloaded on them like a footy coach will sometimes do .... I mean, no one is perfect, we will all f**k up at some point - I wouldn't be sticking around too long if my boss was an angry prick who unloaded constantly

maybe ando is unintentionally causing all these mistakes if the players are running out for the second half thinking 'sh*t we have to win this one or ando will rip us to shreds after the game' they will be nervous as hell which will make them drop the ball and have brain explosions

next year once they are used to his ways they can just take the criticism on board and make the changes ando wants without worrying about him screaming at them if they do something wrong

yea - there'd have to be a balance.


As someone said, Hasler and Bellamy are two of the best coaches in the game and are both known for losing their sh*t in the changerooms. They must have found the middle ground or their players wouldn't respond at all!

if any club needs a good dose of sort your sh*t out or f**k off, it's ours.

what's that saying about good club culture? it takes only a few weeks to lose it, but how long to get it back?
