Dragons appoint Griffin coach

[Pistol_Pete]

Imagine being a dynamic footballer and having to listen to that redneck, droning, banjo-twanging, hick, yokel, Ray Hadley acolyte at training and games every day. The only thing Griffin could do is put Xanax out of business. I reckon you could ring Gids, pump 20 Bennys into you and Griffin could still get you to sleep. How long til a "Hook the Hook" banner appears?

I can't believe what kind of a media storm it's caused. Anyone would have thought being the Dragons coach is the most maligned job in rugby league.
The fact that it's rustled so many jimmies makes me think it must be a good thing.

It's just a pissing contest btw the egos in two media organisations who are both the self-appointed font of all wisdom.

Don't indulge them.

It's suddenly become clear to me now after those tweets why Griffin either didn't take or wasn't seriously considered for the Warriors.... if you catch my drift

the man has the personality of a plain cardboard box.

I'll never forget his expert commentary in a few games on fox. The most dull, monotone voice in what is meant to be an entertainment program.

Would you rather they'd appointed Alan Jones as Dragons Coach instead? Go and look at the "stellar" job he did at the Tigers. Having a great speaking voice don't mean jack to rugby league players, its how effective you are at getting your idea across to them, not how its pronuciated.

Well it’s probably a good thing they don’t have any dynamic players then....I actually don’t mind the guy and despite not being a dragons fan, I hope he has success at the dragons after the shitshow he dealt with at the panthers.

Here’s me thinking the storms success was due to Smith, Slater, Cronk and a second set of books when it was just Bellamys smooth dulcet tones....

Shane Flannagan has been told his contract will not be renewed for next year. Flannagan maybe a great assistant, but from Anthony Griffin's point of view it had to happen. The amount of speculation about when Flannagan was going to take over, if the side struggled would have been endless.

I like the Griffin appointment and I like that he’s cleaned out the S&C staff and most of the assistants. But in what world does Young, a disciple of McGregor, add value to the coaching staff next year?

the man has the personality of a plain cardboard box.

A cardboard box with a 55% win rate as a coach. When you're sitting on a 33% win rate, that is an attractive proposition.

Exactly this - and he can surround himself with staff who bring the ‘personality’ for when required.

99% of which would’ve been talking down the Labor party and women of power or women in general. So yeh, not very effective.

Renew the coach that is flirting with the bottom 4, that's genius.

 

[roofromoz]

Sack Hook and Matty Elliott is the caretaker. That's a genius move there.

Don't beat around the bush mate. Do you like him or not?
