Another nail in the Anderson Coaching coffin

Big bad Bek, the one with the druggy eyes etc, wrote today & quoted Steve Rogers.
it said that he thought jarrad Anderson was not first grade or NRL standard. Effectively agreeing with every person who has ever watched at least one game of rugby league, except for Anderson.
He goes on to say that Anderson had earmarked his son as one of the top 25, effectively in the squad.
rogers told him that won't be happening & told him long before the event that JA would not be part of the squad.

Another Anderson against the board myth buried.

I see that the small article was under the heading "Rogers made unkindest cut". Well, as they say, you sometimes have to be cruel to be kind. :)

A fair decision by Rogers in my view.

No fuss was made about the release of Youngquest, Milford, and Tweedle?
Anderson had much more opportunity to display his ability at first grade level, than the other three. They were all about the same standard in my opinion.

It didn't happen like that all. Just more Wilson bullshit.

If you will remember back I was the one that broke the news on the forums after playing in the Golf Shootout. Both Opes and junior Opes played in that and there were no problems. Those with good memories will know I wrote on the forum BEFORE it happened.

But it was on this day I was told that Jarrad was gonna get the rocket. I was specifically told they were waiting for Ando to go on holidays and they did.

In fact everything I was told about how it was gonna go down did happen. As I was telling people the chronological order of what was going down it was happening in that order. To the letter. Right down to the expected blow up.

Nuh sorry, Wilson has it wrong again and/or someone is lying.

This ain't about blowing my trumpet but as millers often says there is no need to rewrite history.

Not yet because I wouldn't put it past that moll to deliberately misquote anyone. The story is a fabrication, who is the liar remains to be seen.

Here's the post I said it was gonna happen

The thread where I described what was gonna happen chronologically was on the O Forum and can't be referred back to.

Wilson is clearly just stirring the pot though.

You ARE calling Steve Rogers a liar.

nothing wrong with that I guess, but at least admit it. You know what occurred better than sludge apparantly, so put your faith in that and back yourself, the fence is getting shaky with you sitting on it so often mate !

Ah the memories!

No I am not calling Sludge a liar at all. I'm not yet calling Wilson a liar either. But one of them is and I guess when I get a reply to my email I'll know which one.

I don't claim to know better what occured either but I do claim to know what was "going" to occur before hand. It may not of gone down exactly as I was told it would but 2 things are certain.

1) Ando WAS away when it was done and didn't have prior knowledge.

2) The person who told me couldn't be a better source than Sludge himself.


P.S. You having a go at me for sitting on the fence is the pot calling the kettle black Uncle Morph. I'll get off when I have something solid, in the meantime I am within my rights to provoke discussion :)

You cannot define your statement any other way, you are saying that either wilson or sludge is a liar.

It bothers me not either way, I'm not sitting on any fences when I say Anderson knew Jarrod was on the outer, and any person with much knowledge of the situation knows this as it was cited as the reason for the physical altercation between Anderson and Rogers weeks before Anderson got on any plane for the tour.

Morph I think you'll find that it was Ando was away on holidays when it happened, not on the Kangaroo tour.

Yep. Holidays on the Gold Coast. We're talking September here

Does anyone honestly think that Opes' would have come back from holidays and reacted the way he did if he already knew it was planned?

One of these two is lying. With Wilson's record, I am betting Sludge has been misquoted or didn't even say it.

Sorry, Holidays, my mistake.

mcSharkie, why must Opes have had no knowledge to react that way ?

It sounds like perhaps everyone is right :-

Rogers talks to Anderson before Anderson goes away and says JA is no good and he intends on cutting him.

ANderson blows up and the infamous push and shove occurs.

Anderson says not to cut him, sludge says I am the boss and you are being unreasonable as, plainly, your lad cannot play, Anderson blows up some more and goes on hols.

Sludge does as he says, cuts Anderson.

ANderson says he had no knowledge of his son being cut, as he was probably of the impression that his opposition to sludges decision before he left was enough to make sure it didn't happen, he got a surprise !

What are you basing this on Morph?

Is this an opinion, a theory or what?

You are entitled to believe what you want, but you gotta come with some sort of proof if you expect me to accept it.

That's alot to assume. Alot more than Ando came back from hol's to find Junior has been given the arse, so he blows up.

You're right. Even blind Freddy could see that Jarrad was not up to standard.

Sorry mate, you seem to have read me wrong,

I was merely saying that those line of events COULD have taken place, and that it's not neccasarily the case that either party is lying.

I don't know if they played out like that at all, only that Anderson was told well before he left that Jarrod was not wanted and would not be offered a contract, I know that for a fact and I know it was the reason the fight started.

Whether or not Anderson ACCEPTED that decision, and figured the matter would still be discussed when he got back is another story, perhaps he thought it was still open for debate and was indeed surprised when it was done while he was away, and angry. but he knew of Sludges intentions well and truly.

I feel somewhat vindicated.

Recently I felt as though I was being treated as a goose by a Frenzy after I indicated the Jarrad Anderson issue would be a major issue in any litagation.

That a first grade coach would include his own son in a first grade team despite evidence he was/ is not up to that standard is damming evidence of his incompetence. Anderson claims he had no prior knowledge of the clubs decision to sack his son. Rogers disputes that.

Granted both sides will, if necessary, have to prove their side of the argument. My issue is that any one able to prove some expertise in the field and therefore accepted by the court, even after legal argument, will show up Anderson as not fit to be in charge of a football team.
