Hook can bring the Coke .........

What are some of our fave Hook memories? Remember when he tried to sign Israel Folau? Ahh good old Griffin, he was so "in touch" as coach and leader of men, he really was

What about, when he wanted to re-sign Cory Norman but the club said no.

Remember when he played mbye and put sullivan on the bench after starting him. Good times...

Such nous. Also that time he wanted to make Jack De Belin captain, just a few weeks after the famous BBQ.

What about when he kept picking Mbye & Amone, dropping Liddle, dropping Sullivan, swapping Lomax & Suli, playing Bird at fullback or 5/8, recruiting McCullough, McGuire, Woods………oh f#ck it, what about everything this deadset moron did for 2 and a half years……

I saved this one for you all -

For me he showed his true colours last week , not playing Sully after he was binned ........ Now Benny hopefully wont have so much influence on who plays ........

Yeehah. Our worst ever coach is no more. But do we have a successor, not with this Board moving at the speed of Macca, snail pace. Word is one of Ryan Carr or Ben Woolf will be the interim coach.

 

[baggygreen man]

If any doubt that this great club is divided, this should prove it. Reportedly the players have ''given up on the club'' and specially are ''filthy'' with the Board for their response, or lack thereof, around Griffin’s job status this season, which has been up in the air since before a ball was kicked in 2023. Rubbing salt into the wound, is that not one member of management bothered to attend Ben Hunts 300th dinner celebration. Love him or hate him, Hunt deserves the plaudits, if alone, for his longevity.

Get under the bed.

I understand we are all happy and relieved that Hook is gone....but also remember he is a thoroughly decent bloke with a family who will also be suffering and he tried his best for the club but it just wasn't good enough..

You've got to put up with a bit of De Belin dribble in this video but at the 1:11 mark you'll see that sweet schaudenfreude moment of Anthony Griffin driving out of our lives forever

Nice sentiment of course, but the "thoroughly decent bloke" and "tried his best for the club" statements are questionable

I'm sure he's a decent bloke who is suffering, but his team management and coaching this year has bordered on sabotage.

I wouldn't put it past the board to instate Mary or TBaz as interim coach.

 

[redVinme]

Based on his twitter activity, decent bloke is a push

 

[The Charlatan]

I'm disappointed, as a Tigers fan Hook was my favourite coach in the NRL. He had an excellent recruitment policy.

haha. His brilliant method of signing players that other clubs released early and paid some freight for: Moses Mbye, Aaron Woods, Josh McGuire. He thought it was "moneyball", but it was really just buying expired milk
