Match Discussion: Round 1 vs Warriors @ Sky Stadium, Wellington

[Spot On]

Jesus it’s going to get tiring reading this shit when it’s clearly not going to happen.

You said similar re Nathan Brown.

How did that turn out?

If we lose most weeks, the coach will be gone.

Nothing surer.

Except us losing most weeks.

lol

 

[perverse]

We're back, boys.

It's like we never left.

 

[Zoidberg]

Amazing how you can be looking forward to a new season to begin, and then be over it so soon.

He will be sacked before the magic round bye.

 

[perverse]

Kalyn should have taken the money up north honestly. I don't think it would have hurt or helped us in any way, but he'd be closer to a premiership than he is now.

 

[Apey]

Crossland coming on for three minutes and getting sent to the bin sums up how I think 2023 is going to go

Tries hard but.

 

[Haffa]

We could run last five years in a row and Alex would be telling us everything is fine

Quit overreacting without knowing the full details.

 

[perverse]

Tries hard but.

He's like a poor mans Jaelen Feeney. Every bit as bad, but none of the speed or physical attributes either.

 

[Alex28]

The man asked a question, I gave the obvious answer. Dunno what you want, another year of this I suppose. Another decade maybe.

The club isn’t going to pay 2 years worth of contract out, and then pay a fortune for a Hasler or Flanagan.

That isn’t going to happen. No matter how many times a week you say it.

I said what the answer was, not what was going to happen. I have no idea what the club will do or when they will do it - I can just see as plainly as any other fan what needs to be done.

Stop beating around the bush with the argument and just say it. You don't think he should be sacked.

Positives:
- Miller tried
- Fitzy had abit of punch

Negatives:
- Everything else

I’m not saying everything is fine. That wasn’t great to watch. It was week 1 with a new spine, but it was for the Warriors as well and they wanted it more.

Why don’t we want it? Why don’t the players want it? Why haven’t the players wanted it as badly as other teams for what - a decade? Two decades?

We have played like players from a one team Town who have achieved enough just playing first grade for a long, long time. That’s not AOB’s fault - it’s ingrained in the club. He’s not the first coach who can’t drag that attitude out of the club.

Mac said in the Sack the Coach post we need a sports psychologist as half a joke - it’s exactly what we need.

Do you know that would be the details of his exit or are you making assumptions?

 

[perverse]

Eagerly awaiting this press conference. It'll be a good laugh to kick off the rest of my Friday.

 

[macavity]

I said to my mate at half time this game has big 20-12 energy

I hate being right sometimes

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Back to the basics. Can't get the simple things right. That's the coaching.

 

[Alex28]

We are a club run by a bean counter. Profits are success for Phil Gardner - paying AOB close to a million dollars to go away isn’t palatable.

That part of the club isn’t going away until Phil retires.

 

[Zoidberg]

Last year we looked like world beaters in the 1st game then turned shit….so maybe

Positives

Tuala did better than I expected
