Anthony Griffin

[betcats]

I was at the first home game this club played. I would have gone to Belmore the previous Sunday but it was too far for an 11 year old to travel on public transport, according to my Mum. I was also at the second home game, where we thrashed the 11 time premiers.

I think this whole episode has cheapened this club. I'd rather not win another game this year than just gun down a man who has done more than any other coach for this club and delivered success despite injuries and a squad that is the youngest in the NRL.

This meeting clearly has been handled appallingly. It should have waited until after the season was over. We were never winning it this year, maybe next. This just appears to be a clash between two men. Gould should do the honourable thing and hand in his resignation. We will never win a premiership with him either.

I wonder what Ivan Cleary is thinking right now.

The meeting was handled appallingly?? Lol why? because you don’t like the result??? Stop embarrassing yourself.

If we want to how an internal club meeting was handled we will ask Daz.

At the 60 minute mark it was 30-24 and I knew we had them. But that's not my point here.
You have blamed the poor part on the coach and credited the good part to the players. A bit unfair, it must be said. You are not alone in this around here and whoever gets the job will receive the same treatment.

The players have made their bed. Time for them to lift and justify it

Jason Demetriou is the guy I want to see given the job. Has big wraps on him around the league, he’s young but not too young. So possibly some fresh ideas.

Its well known that Griffin is an arrogant prick to deal with

 

[Exsilium]

Please to be getting my information on the clubs actions from the media and not those responsible.

Meat raffles run smoother than this club.

 

[OldPanther]

I'm assuming whatever was happening off the field is the cause of this.

Definitely. The players we have and the talent they have we should be on the level of the Roosters, Souths and the Storm this year. Despite being a few wins off top spot we were under achieving.

If we'd had similar injury tolls, perhaps. Instead we are ONE win behind the Roosters and Storm after 20 games.

And yet the masked panther has been saying there’s no issue a the whole time.

Good find. Will listen later at the hospital with my partner.

Because it has resulted in the coach leaving 4 weeks before the finals in a winning season. Would have been better left to finish the job.

Fancy you talking about embarrassing oneself.

 

[betcats]

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

Harsh but in the end completely true. Forgive me for quoting myself lol, I’ll stop being smug about this now.

Are you related to Griffin? Seriously you even shit on former players when they question his tactics.

 

[Copperhead]

I'm with ya. Every time there was a call to replace the coach over the last few years, I've nominated him as my choice.

Maybe his timing was because he knew Hook was gone and it wad the least bitter way to judge the coach.

Had a long time to do it and it happens the week before he is sacked

I don’t care who was right or wrong in predicting this. I care about whether or not it was the right decision for the club.

You can’t deny it suggests poor management. Extending the guy last year then sacking him four weeks out from the finals in a year that has, on the whole, been relatively successful. Could you ever imagine a club like Melbourne, the Roosters or Broncos doing something like this?

 

[mxlegend99]

If we'd had similar injury tolls, perhaps. Instead we are ONE win behind the Roosters and Storm after 20 games.

Yet after 12 games we were ahead of everyone.

Maybe sliding down the ladder since and averaging 30+ against the past 3 weeks to lower ranked teams is seen as unacceptable?

We were first 2 months ago. With a very good defensive record. Since then the defence has gotten gradually worse.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Anyway, our coach for the finals is Gould, not Ciraldo.

Gus will be calling all the shots.
