The problem is people that claim to be in the know are feeding it which gives it life amongst the gullible.

There, fixed it for you.

By all reports Daz is reliable. Buzz and his media mates can get f**ked though.

Give most coaches that spine and to cheat the cap. They'd have similar records too

Yep. Storm have a <40% win rate without Smith in the team.

Pretty much this. There is still questions no one knows the answer too. It is just guessing

There willalways be some level of guessing on a forum like this in both the positive and negative.

I don’t think Griffin will be here next year, but I fear things could actually get worse. Gus has a hard on for Trent Barrett, I’m really hoping we don’t get him.

I can honestly assure you that Daz is more than just hot air, he knows plenty of people at the club & if you go back through his posts you’ll see he has a record of getting calls right.

1000 percent.

Bagging Griffin ruffles so many feathers here, people would rather believe in media conspiracies than entertain the idea these rumours might be true, the f**king imbeciles.

Daz has been posting reliable info for years take a hike @BxTom

Hi all

been overseas for the last month so not been too active.

I have been a supporter of Griffin all year, but now I cant see the game for all the smoke (aka, there must be a fire somewhere). A team of this quality doesn't turn to s#it just because a few players have had a full rep season.......


Exactly.

Injuries and rep duties are not solely responsible for our piss poor form. That lack of effort the last two weeks stinks of something more.

Daz may be right. He may be wrong. He's certainly not full of shit though.

No point getting too worked up (either way) about it. Doubt anything will happen before the season's over and there's a ton of water to go under that bridge.

Dragons have lost 3 of their last 4 too. Many teams in the past have struggled around origin time too

Over history (of my presence here) Daz has usually been on the money. But he usually posts about the junior/isp leagues as does Ashton, who also has as good a record. I've yet to see Daz present anything solid re nrl though.

It's not the 'bagging' of Anthony Griffin that may ruffle feathers it's your total lack of objectivity.

Almost all regular posters on here have expressed reservations about Anthony Griffin.

Most of us, attempt to be a positive as possible when posting on here, something you should give a try now and again.

f**king whatever. Go back and check what I was saying when we were actually playing well, I was being very positive. Gave Griffin lots of credit for the defensive improvement and acknowledged I was looking wrong with a lot of things I said about hook.

But now I look right again so you merkins can deal with my comments or not, I’m not going to stop posting here or change the way I post because it upsets some bleeding hearts on the internet.

I don’t see many other posters on these forums admitting when they are wrong like I have so you can shove your objectivity up your ass.

For all of those willing to wield the coaching axe. Who comes in for Griffin?

Looking at the coaching landscape there isn’t much out there. Plenty of unproven coaches out there but who steps up to the plate?

I would also add, that IF we somehow manage to win the comp this year, do the people predicting that Hook won't be here next year stand by their word?

Based on the reasons we are hearing I would. Doesn't mean he will go but if the reasons are correct I don't think a premiership will change anything.

People keep saying this and it keeps getting answered. Ciraldo will be coach IF Griffin goes.

He's in the system, knows the players well and will be cheap as a rookie coach after paying out Griffin.

Depends on who you ask, in the past few days I’ve seen us linked to Michael Mcguire and Trent Barrett, both have come on a forum such as this so could be complete horseshit

Don't change betcats. And I don't know what I'd do for a laugh if you left us.

Constant rumours about trouble with hook and the playing group and now other staff. Staff leaving. Players leaving. Its well known he has had an issue with at least one player who was our captain at the time. Where there is smoke there is fire.
Only two players left. Matt Moylan, and Bryce Cartwright. Others have re-signed.

Tom.

Daz regularly knows early when there’s going to be a debut in first grade.

Look, you don’t need to believe me, but I can assure you he has sources.
