From the man brought you, frontrowers, halfbacks & gravy

You will just love this bit of propaganda, bullshyte & revenge. It's all in there.
& I must say, the worst thing Anderson can do now for BK is to publicly support him.

He also must not have watched last years GF, with the likes of Priddis, Gower & especially Camobell playing off the top of their heads.
The myth continues.

Well I have to say Anderson is being very hypocrytical here.
His style of play as he's always put it was a halfback running the show, two front rowers taking it up and the rest is gravy.

The "Gravy" is a rather kind alternative than to be called "robots". Who Anderson would send out to do a job but not be creative as this was the halfbacks job.

I agree though with his thoughts on the origin teams.
The majority of players picked lacked real instincts for their respective positions.
ie. your not going to adjust to playing winger in state of origin straight away if you play fullback for your club just because your quick. --- Slater

and your not going to do what a 5/8 is mean't to do just because your experienced. --- Timmons

But I disagree with Anderson that their are only 4 instinctive players at the moment.

Players like Campbell
Blacklock
Peachey
Wesser

are very much all very instinctive players.

But he is hypocritical here again because Campbell killed it last year yet Anderson didn't have him in his Australian team.

You can't have it both ways Ando!

Too right
Is he f**kin stupid?
Or maybe he thinks Gould doesnt have a choice so he may as well stick the boot in
Well he does have a choice, Gould will probably pick Finch or Orford before Noddy

I think an instinctive player is very much different to Kimmorley Johns Hill Lockyer
An instinctive player is a player like Preston or maybe even Buderus

The 4 that CA mentioned are methodical planners - I wouldnt call them instinctive by any measure.

the whole article is a disgrace.
No wonder he can't coach & was sacked. He can't even string together some form of comprehensible argument without contradicting even himself.
He's lost the plot.

Funny stuff Ando. :clap:

The guy seems to have lost his last scrap of objectivity, but I can't see Noddy welcoming his cheerleading.

I still think he could be a good coach again though... I reckon he'll end up at Parra and go well. #-o

I wonder if this article would have attracted so much attention had the authors name not been known.

Indeed.
The man knows how insult.
Fittler is just an athlete hey? Just one example.

It obviously does not just affect the body, it loosens the screws.

Our own David peachey is instinctive. Gower, Orford and Sherwin are pretty influential players in their best form. Not instinctive but influential, guiding players

Preston Campbell is instinctive And the future looks good with players like Karmicheal Hunt and Benji Marshall. They are players who are so hard for the opposition to read, becasue they don't know what they are about to try until they strike.
