Hindmarsh kept in the dark over sacking

[mrpwnd]

Funny, there were some nuffies out here that assumed Tahu's stance towards DA was a reflection of the entire team.
Great work from Hindy, I can rest easier knowing he'll still be in the team next year.

 

[hineyrulz]

Hindy a legend on and off the field, if only his team mates could follow his lead.......

 

[Parra Guru]

where have the people who were making a mess in their pants over "the players wanting DA out" gone??

Think I'll take more notice of our most capped player and 2011 captain than I will of Timana Boohoo

if the board think they can do whatever they want with the coaching staff or players and hindy will just toe the line they are in for a rude shock

 

[Djay]

His a legend, I really hope we can send him off a winner in time. Although it doesn't look likely if this is his last year.

that's absolute rubbish..

 

[Gazzamatta]

An out and out Professional.
See how its done Tahu and "The Board".

 

[The EELiminator]

just my opinion but i think hindy has bitten his tongue a fair bit not wanting to step on caylo's toes when he is running things himself i think he will call a spade a spade

Players are paid to play football.
End of story.
Hindmarsh is a legend of our club and will forever be one of my Eels all time favourite players.
He should also have NO say in who should be his coach.

Agreed. The club captain and heart and soul of our team should have zero say in who he will be essentially working beside as his riole as captain. It should be the sponsors decision. Afterall, what does Hindy know compared to the pen pushers? :sarcasm:

it shouldnt be his final decision but i cant see how asking his opinion could hurt

 

[CrazyEel]

Regardless of all the other crap and just looking forward I must admit I feel a little more comfortable with Kearney after reading this;
""(Former Parramatta and Kiwis captain) Nathan Cayless has got massive wraps on him, so if he does happen to come all the signs are positive that he's a good coach," Hindmarsh added."

That's all well and good, but what part of Hindy having massive wraps on DA as a coach didn't reach the board?

You know very well that's not what I said.
So, why say it?
No problems with you pushing your agenda, and more than happy to discuss it, but please, don't twist it to suit yourself. Otherwise, it all turns nasty.

"But it's not my job to pick the coach, it's the board's job."
Hindmarsh denied there was any rift between the players and the board over the decision.
"There's no real air to clear," he said.
"I would like Ando to stay but my job is to get out there and play rugby league again.
"The decision's been made, (you) kick stones for a couple of days but now it's time to get on with it."

Which part are you having trouble understanding?

Disagree. The senior players know the squad as better than anyone. Hindy shouldn't be able to decide the coach. But the board should listen and respect what our most senior players say in regards to the coaching situation. Hindy and co are the ones out on the training paddock every week following the coaching staff's directions so they know better than anyone whether they're doing a solid job or not. The senior players in my opinion should be at least consulted as they are the ones who are going to be able to give to the information to the board about the positives and negatives about the current coaching style and structure. Hindy as a long term player would have a fair idea about the other players and what style of coaching they're best suited to, so why wouldn't they consult him?

Completely disagree the players are paid to play and not worry about anything else.
If they want input in choosing a coach then they should join the board.

Its obvious he doesnt have a say, otherwise DA would still be around ;-)

Hope your not alluding that he isnt allowed to voice his dissapointment for a coach he had fully supported and was told by the board was going to be the coach in 2011. Also more importantly setting a few things straight (regarding a mass player revolt against DA). Its something fans needed to hear rather than continued innuendo. Something voting members can also get a slight guide on how the board treats its senior players, legends at that.

Hindy is the heart and soul of the blue and Gold. He has earned the right to say it like it is, as does people like Lockyer at the Broncos, Gallan at the sharks etc. Otherwise you will just get cliche quotes
