MG was suggesting this very thing on the roast over the weekend.

I thought it was odd Gus had no comment on it.

History shows when a new Coach comes in a team usually wins their first game under the new regime. I will play devils advocate and say that with this being the case, Mr Anderson picked his time perfectly.

Would be funny if it wasn't so damn true.
Has been happening since Adam play halfback for the Israelites 13.
The players play harder than ever before to show the league world 'see, it was him, not us'.

Also, one of the consistents in this years inconsistent comp has been if a team gets touched up one week they win the next.

It's all looking good.

How inevitable was this - the only question was which round it would be.

Anderson is an inflexible coaching dinosaur. I will never forgive this bastard for the damage he has done to the Sharks - and of course we are still feeling the effects 6 years later ...

Oh crap. The NRL will be desperate for golden boy Freddy to taste immediate success and will sacrifice us to make it happen. Just like they sacrificed us to ensure the Titans got on the board early.

Ricky needs to spend ten grand and criticise the refs ahead of time.

Thanks for nothing Ando. Screw us one final time on the way out. Next thing you know Minichiello will make a surprise return.

Why couldnt the prick have done the same thing at the sharks- would have saved us a crap load of cash.

This was going to be a crunch game for us anyway - if we don't win this our season is pretty much over. Roosters were going to be fired up after last weeks hammering and probably be even more so after Anderson quit so it will be a true test of where we stand - hopefully up.

Yeah bollocks mate.

He dismantled the club, and caused turmoil, drama and division at every turn. He decided to wreck a competitive squad and forced fans to endure watching great players like Tweddle, Milford and Jarrad Anderson getting hammered each week. While McKenna Campbell, Rogers, Triester, Best, Dykes left.


The Sharks were right to give him the sack. I wonder what that goose Paul Kent thinks of this?

Well I think Politis gave him no alternative. I would say he has done all right financially and walked away cashed up because Politis is an impatient man but would have been desperate to avoid more embarrassment like the debacle resulting in not securing Wayne Bennett and having to sign Anderson at the last minute. Politis would still be agonising at that dent in his reputation as the hard nosed successful businessman.

He's onto a winning idea though. Apply for a job with a fixed contract, piss everyone off, stuff up big time, get paid out, then sit back and relax until more cash is needed.
