Ben Roberts dropped to Wenty

[mickdo]

You couldn't have picked a worse example... well maybe Suitman.

You and me are besties now ED :lol:

 

[bartman]

But Bartman knows everything about what's happening behind the scene's and everything that's happening right now. All his opinions are based upon this superior knowledge. It's clear for all to see.

Please tell me where I've said that.
You can't. So don't talk shit. Troll.

Suity, er... Bartman ;-)

My opinions are just my opinions, always have been always will be, nothing more, and nothing set in stone. It's a shame you still seem to get so upset by them....

 

[Eels Dude]

You'd probably find you would get on well with both of us.

Suity

Funny thing is we'd probably get on like a house on fire in reality. That's footy fans, emotions and differing opinions though.

 

[Eels Dude]

You and me are besties now ED :lol:

:lol:

At the end of the day we're all Eels fans, just show it in different ways.

Personally I think that the difference between a good NRL coach and an average NRL coach is communication/people management. To me there is a bees d$%k in the difference in knowledge about the game of rugby league between one NRL coach and the other, they all know their stuff at that level.

Absolutely. But don't confuse public speaking with people management.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

it's what I do for a living. And it's not easy. What you do however is learn from your mistakes and move forward. That's what I think the coach lacks, the ability to learn from his mistakes and course correct. His use of the bench is one of the areas where he has not learned from his mistakes.

Whether I have led teams or coached them, the insight that I believe is the most important thing to share is, course correction is key to long term, sustained success. Never be afraid to admit you are wrong. It is a key attribute of the best Leaders. I hope SK begins to understand that.

The ability to learn from one's mistakes is what separates a successful person from an unsuccessful one in any field. It is not particular to coaching.

The fact Kearney spent so long at the top as a player and a captain, and his willingness to seek advice from better coaches than himself, shows he has no problem admitting when he doesn't know.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Great post. What you intimate is true of leaders in all walks of life.

Now it seems you're confusing leadership with management. We don't see much leadership in the modern world, and management is its most common stand-in.

 

[Suitman]

Please tell me where I've said that.

You may have opinions but most of them are based on unprovable innuendo.
You're just a poor man's Ray Hadley.

Suity

 

[Suitman]

That depends.

What do you think of Daniel Anderson?

I don't think anything about him.
He's history as far as Parramatta is concerned.

Suity

 

[Chipmunk]

Absolutely. But don't confuse public speaking with people management.

I wasnt, after all Hasler and Bennett seem to be pretty p^&* poor public speakers

 

[BigErn]

Because he's neither our best defender, nor an 80 minute player any more.

If not Hindy, who is our best defender?

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

If not Hindy, who is our best defender?

Keating??

 

[Parraren]

Or maybe he has been a part of one and is trying to implement it.
You don't know. I don't know either.

Another lacky. :roll:

Oh of course, the storm plan that to date has yielded ZERO premierships.

 

[munge]

ben roberts will show a few people up today i think

 

[Gronk]

So he should playing against muppets.

 

[Wally21]

Now it seems you're confusing leadership with management. We don't see much leadership in the modern world, and management is its most common stand-in.

I agree that we don't see much leadership out there. I completely understand the difference between Leadership and Management and have absolutely no confusion around what it is or isn't. What I said was that Chips point was true of good leaders in all walks of life. I made no call on how many good leaders are out there. very, very few in my experience.

 

[Wally21]

The fact Kearney spent so long at the top as a player and a captain, and his willingness to seek advice from better coaches than himself, shows he has no problem admitting when he doesn't know.

now you are confused about the fact that top practitioners make amazing teachers or leaders, (not captains, to be sure of the distinction). I'm sure we could both make lists a mile long of individuals who excelled as single contributors, but it all fell apart when they tried to move into either a management role or a teaching/coaching role.

it truly is a great quality to seek advice from mentors or individuals that you respect. The hardest part of that equation however is taking the advice and course correcting for success. I'm not sure that advice has translated into success based on the performance of the team in SK's case.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I was just pointing out pride is probably not one of Kearney's faults.

 

[ROGUE]

Always was rocks or diamonds for the dogs and shall continue to be for us.

 

[True EEL]

So we come full circle.

Playing in Canterbury's reggies, signs with Parramatta, gets a go in first grade, now playing reggies for Parramatta.

I think many saw that coming.

I think this post sums up the reality of the situation effectively.
