Elliot

[Izz]

This is a world where nothing is solved. You know, someone once told me time is a flat circle. Everything we?ve ever done or will do, we?re gonna do over and over and over again. ? Rust Cohle

Is that a quote Elliot liked to bust out at training?

:lol:
Probably while standing before the team at half time vs the Sharks... a brief moment of clarity wherein he prophesied his own doom.

Everything I've heard about kidwell is that he relates well to the players but is a hard ass. I would like to see him in the setup here.

 

[hitman82]

Confirmed on Radio Sport... Elliot gone.

McFadden appointed acting head coach





The Vodafone Warriors today announced head coach Matthew Elliott has resigned with immediate effect.
Assistant coach Andrew McFadden has been appointed acting head coach to the end of the 2014 NRL season.

In accepting the resignation, Vodafone Warriors chairman Bill Wavish acknowledged Elliott’s personal qualities, skill and intellect.

"I have learned a lot from Matt and am saddened that he has made this decision. It speaks volumes of his character and integrity and I personally wish him well," he said.

In announcing McFadden's interim appointment, Vodafone Warriors chief executive Wayne Scurrah said: “Andrew is widely recognised as a leader of the next generation of coaches in the very competitive NRL competition."

The Vodafone Warriors have their third home game of the season next Sunday (April 13) when they host Canterbury-Bankstown at Eden Park (4.00pm kick-off).

McFadden will be available to meet the media later today.

Not trolling here, but what a debacle of a club you guys have at the moment

"Best sporting franchise in Australasia" :lol:

Maybe they will be when they get rid of the snakeoil salesman running the show and started looking at the egomaniac players they will move away from being such a laughing stock

 

[Beavers Headgear]

:lol: loving the quote from the snakeoil salesman at the bottom of that release regarding McFadden

I hope McFadden is given some time, he'll be the next cleary

 

[Izz]

I hope McFadden is given some time, he'll be the next cleary

Yeah, hope so to, but knowing Slimy Scurrah...

Want Wayne gone? https://www.facebook.com/NoMoreWayne

Scurrah has to go.

 

[hitman82]

Scurrah has to go.

Scurrah said if Elliot failed, he'd be out the door too. Selling this as a resignation is a clever way of saving Scurrah.

Elliott is (was) IMO the worst coach in the NRL.

That being said, he didn't appoint himself, he isn't responsible for what seems a rather toxic culture, and he is not playing...

That's all

 

[Skinner]

Pathetic Club, absolutely pathetic. Hand the licence back and let a decent mob have a go.

"Best sporting franchise in Australasia" :lol:

I remember thinking that was such a Russell Crowe / Souths thing to say at the time.
lol@souths?. oh no? um? yeah

 

[Diesel]

So is he staying on in some role or has been cut from the club? Considering he is supposed to be DoC in 2015

Best of luck to Elliott, nice guy. I really hope McFadden can sort this team out

 

[Rebel]

Off topic, but is Mateo off contract this year?

 

[Juju]

Off topic, but is Mateo off contract this year?

Just resigned till the end of 2016 (I think)

 

[vvvrulz]

Just farcical really.
After a not bad (but not great) 2013 we dump the coach five round into the season?

Whatever the real fundamental problem is with the Warriors, I think we can all agree Elliott wasn't it.

 

[JJ]

no, but not a strength either...

strange move... as was hiring him.... should sack a few players too IMO
