Dykes- Another person not to enjoy his footy under Brian

[True EEL]

as much as i try to see the point of view of the "league for the defence of brian smith", i always return to the fact that we are entering the ninthe season of his stewardship with not a premiership in sight.....and we are facing our fourth (perhaps more?) major overhaul of playing personnel and similarly, there is nota premiership in sight!

these are just facts....and a similar performance record at any other elite sporting organisation would see the dismissal of the coach and the introduction of fresh ideas!

thats why i think he should go....regardless of whether he is loved or hated by the players....i dont care if they all were to have played deviant drinking games on the team bus together, it makes no difference....there is no longer serving coach in the NRL with a worse record premiership-wise!

An each year since 2001 to date we drift further and further from serious premiership reckoning.....let me guess, should we finish out of serious contention next year, there will be a massive change of personnel and a call that brian deserves a shot with "the new batch which he bought after all!"

by the way, where u finish on the table does not necessarily indicate serious contention....serious contention indicates a realistic claim for the premiership! Examples....Brisbane finished third but were not there when the whips were cracking....the cowboys finished 7th but had a serious claim at the business end!

of course, if we dont make the eight (possible), he MUST go...regardless of whom he purchases for 2006!

Personally, i want him gone now...and have wanted him gone for two years!

once again walker smith a person who sees the light and is being realistic and not living a fairytale with BS as the shining knight

Lets see what Smith does net year as we can't do anything about getting rid of him now. But I swear If he plays someone such as Wagon out of position and theres a talented youngster waiting such as mateo, I'll do damage.

thats all fine, but its what walker smith and myself are saying......why should he deserve that crack "with the new bunch" this year????

and you know he is going to play people out of position and try and turn someone into something they are not - he can't help himself

but....what can you do except sit and watch and cry

 

[True EEL]

My Brow asked him why did you leave?? Was it the Coach? He said "Yes."

Also Parra didn't offer him as much as the Tigers did from memory.

seems pretty clear cut to me......??

True eel,

I personally can't think of any players who have aired their grievence against a coach in public while they've been contracted or atleast playing for that club under that coach.

eelevation,

i think you only have to read Colonel's post above "about player power overturning coaches" to realise you may be very wrong about that

so did Nathan Brown just slap Trent Barrett and everyone just lived happily ever after?????

so did the Souths players say nothing against Paul Langmack and the same with the Warriors players about Daniel Anderson and the Cronulla players about Chris Anderson?????

and thats just naming a few examples from recent years....

I don't believe any of these examples were PUBLICLY aired....yes everything eventually becomes public knowledge, but I think it is VERY rare that players ever go public on issues with their coach.

do you not watch or follow Rugby League - the Nathan Brown slapping incident with Barrett was the biggest talking point in the game in 2003 for weeks and Brown had to make a public apology about it??????? :shock:

and as for the other examples, the players may not have gone on TV and said we ahte our coach but it was all pretty well known within the game??

'cos he attracted them to the club??????????

I am sure that the money we paid these players had a large part in their coming to Parramatta.

Having said that, it is no secret that Riddell is busting to play under Biran, so...

Hahaha... Finally people are seeing what I saw all along. I had a run in with him on the first official function he attended. It was the Xmas Fan Day and he was p*ssed off coz they had to have a training session before hand and he wanted to go home. I told him that he was at Parra now and "Fans come first!". He deserved the bagging he got at Leichhardt this year (albiet it did go a little too far) and I can wait til one of our boys takes his head off when we play against em next year!

 

[eelsta]

what about all the bs how he taped cronulla games while he was still at parra he just new something wasnt righ POOR BABY :roll: :roll: :roll:

 

[Nikki]

The jokes on him! We will make the semi's next year. Cronulla will always be useless Cronulla!!!

 

[Eelectrica]
