Knights fans want our coach back

[fish eel]

Isn't that Fish Eel?

this sounds more like me tbh

.

He was a tall goodlooking winger who only played Flegg and went on to be a male model and actor.

Attention Knights fans!!!! After seeing our P/L team decline so much in the last 2 months, you can have Rip back if that is still your wish......

I deadset messaged this to my mate Stranger on Monday night.

I think he has a very old school style of coaching, which may have worked on the younger Flegg kids up in Newcastle (they need to get their discipline somewhere :lol: ) but our Prems teams have been so used to having "mates" coach em they are just not responding to him. Well thats my theory anyway (which I may have posted in another thread, but i just dont remember.)

well Rip does have an assistant who's pretty friendly with a few of us in here so I might ask him about it on Saturday ;-)

To be honest, when i bought this thread back, i was expecting to get murdered and told how childish i was or something......glad someone agrees.

Don't get me wrong it might not be the coach, but there is definitely something wrong with the boys and it is depressing to watch, i am kind of glad i have other plans on Saturday, cause a drive to North Sydney to watch the same crap would be depressing (no offence to anyone going, cause trust me i would be there if i could get out of the day my wife planned)

about a week before Zeb took off I spoke to a couple of the boys who felt extremely bewildered and frustrated at the lack of opportunity they were getting in the top grade, so much so that one of them told me that there was going to be a mass walk out at the end of the year, this is normal with every PL player with a regular gig in reserve grade.

As it turns out alot of them have *surprise surprise* signed on for next season, which is a bit strange but I guess if they don't have an a option else where they'll always comeback ;-)

I think their problem has been attitude and the fact that at most games despite being competative were their own worst on many occasions especially last sunday, we had a very youthful, inexperinced backline who did some really good things but then complimented them some dumb things, that goes with lack of experiance and kids like KK, Trent, TT, Sunny and Iwi will learn from it as time goes on, because in all honesty we still have the talent to give this comp a real shake, especially with KK dictating terms that way he does, he's a very classy little kid.

I thought our forwards did ok but we just need strum that combination with the kids at the back, I'm really looking forward to saturday just to see the KK/Trent combo go around again.

You know what, maybe its our fault. We have depended on Prems being our saviours for the last couple of years. We dont accept mediocricy (spl) from them like we do with First Grade :lol:. I'll still be there on Sat.

well, Nix we fielded our youngest PL side I can remember on sunday and we're beaton by 6 against Balmain, not bad going I thought..

On the positive side for Rip - all his Flegg kids from last year are thriving.

Hlad has played PL for Penrith.

Wright has played PL for Parra.

Seu Seu, Paterson, Walsh, Gordon, McManus, Snowden have all played firstgrade.

Natusch, Laban, Tuafua, Uate, Ling, Wooden, Dureau have all played PL for the Knights.

Thats 15 players who have moved to the seniors - and a few like Cooper, Richardson, Jeans are still in flegg.

The Knights average maybe 5 players from Flegg going on to the seniors, so Rip's team from last season is probably our best ever.

geez..not a bad average. :?

in defence of rip taylor, first grade have taken a few players such as feleti and inu and maloney is out for the year, they are 3 gun players in anyside. i just heard that there are some who dont agree with his style of coaching compared to those coaches of the passed

 

[Nikki]

See thats the other way I look at it. Prems team on a whole have to be the most unstable teams in the comp. Players are called up on First Grade duty, good Flegg players are stepped up. Some weeks are not consistant, but at the same time, not really an excuse. I just think we've had it too good for so long its weird taking a back seat. Lol. Where are we on the Prems ladder anyways?

That'd settle it I reckon.

Although he certainly hasn't been a happy man on the sidelines.
