then why did they only deny the racial vilification part?

it wasn't they, it was Feleiti and he obviously cant comment on Anderson's tenure at the club

just seems to me that Hadley trying to grab headlines again

We'll see what pans out. The usual confidentiality agreements will mean that he goes quietly is suspect.

Mateo claims aside, it's still is disgrace if he is not coach in 2011. I understand that coaches do move on, but surely it could have been handled much better than this.

Oh come on.:roll: It was a press release from the club. If his position was safe they would have said so.

huh

Spagnolo said he was safe a while back

pete posted the article

why didn't they re-iterate that?

thats what I mean, they haven't decided to sack him so Spagnolo's comments should still stand

I really dont see the need to re-iterate it just because Hadley wants to up his ratings for the weekend

also, the question needs to be asked, who is feeding Hadley this info if its a mole from within the board or perhaps some one from outside the board wanting to get back in

the whole thing stinks

From that press release the board meeting is Tuesday.

Whomever tipped Hadley off has probably done so thinking they know how things will pan out at the board meeting.

So, as usual, a Ray Hadley story seems to be made up of truths, untruths and part truths.

Wow...I can't believe some blokes actually thought those 'racial vilification' claims had some kind of weight to them. Was it not obvious the words were merely a bullsh*t justification to falsely sack DA?
Some bloke mentioned how DA has always had problems with polynesian players. How the f**k do you coach the warriors to a grand final whilst having the same 'problems'.
What a load of ass and poor showing from the Parra board. Wtf if the point of even handing the coach a contract now.
I highly doubt, if DA were to be sacked, that another coach would willingly take up the gig at parra, it seems to be more of a sh*tstirring death trap nowadays, rather than an interesting challenge.

I can honestly say I have nothing but regret for voting for this current board. I would have Fitzy back in a heart beat. I still think he is a dickhead, but at the end of the day he is a dickhead that knew his sh*t when running the club. Better the devil you know.

how do yuo know he is not the one behind the rumours, or the one who is feeding Hadley so that people will think exactly what you posted

Yeah, I think its pretty easy to join some dots between Hadley and certain people.

Put it on 2GB now..

Board has voted 5-2 to oust Anderson. He has been told to walk or be sacked.

Also reported told if he doesn't walk, a former player will accuse him of racial vilification.

Edit: Former player has just been identified as Feliti Mateo.

Edit 2: Also been told if he walks, he will get a full payout..if he drags it out he will not

mmmmm very interesting, let me just say I bumped into Stephen Kearney at Movie World on the Gold Coast today, I said;

"Steve you coming to Parra" - I was straight to the point lol
He replied;

(with a grin) "don't know yet"

So there was no denying that he may be coming. Make of it what you will

I get back to where we're staying and I read this

I received my information on Thursday....On Hadley today apparently..My source is very close to the Club

Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 5:33 PM


Anderson the coach to be sacked tomorrow
Robbie D.

Robbie just had his days mixed up....STOP THE ROT before the Club disappears. The blokes running the joint just don't seem to get it anymore. 'The vampires are in charge of the bloodbank'

I think alot of blokes choose not to go either yes or no, it seems sticking with maybes and I don't knows keeps the media away from intense speculation.

The board should be more concerned about all these leaks and rubbish like that getting out to the media and rubbishing our club

Join the dots, the behind the scene stuff is being run by the oerson you want back, and why all this love for a coach that did not aim up.

Unfit, unmotivated and unstrcutured, he took a better line up than the previous season backwards. Have a look at the overall peformance of all grades since DA came back, one glorious late season run which was terrific, but I put money on Parra getting the spoon last season because of how we were playing. Thank Hayne for the end of last year.

I welcomed DA as a real westie /Parra boy etc, but he has really sent us backwards, and as I have said before a real business makes quick decisions and in a sense I think it is positive that we past DA.

Don't forget Raaay smasked BS as it was his agenda to do that, and he hasd a far better record than DA, be careful if you follow the shock jock and the people feeding hin this info.

I agree, personally I can't see much difference between the performance of Anderson and Hagan.

The real thing that stands out for me is the hypocrisy shown by some that supported the board punting Hagan but are now up in arms in horror at this board doing exactly the same with DA. Both Hagan and DA will have "resigned" under simialr circumstances.

I find it all quite funny really, love the way principles can be twisted to suit agendas LOL.

Regardless of how poor we've been this year, sacking coaches before their contract expires due to a poor year is simply bad taste. I believe the general consensus was that people wanted to see him out on his last year and judge his performance from that point.
If a coach is given 3 years to work on a team, it's fair to say he'll invoke a 3 year plan to work with the team. It's the boards own fault for overestimating our performance this year.

if they wanted to sack a coach it should have been done last year so a new coach could put his team together
