Listening to a couple of podcasts, sounds like the Warriors coaches were heavily into the drink all week in Vegas, probably not a great look now after what the players dished up

Yeah, heard that too. Not a good look at all.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

If he has in deed grabbed a journo by the throat, I can't think of any defense to it that would save him from the sack.

If half of this is true, we’re in serious trouble

Rothfield was in the room, and said he heard a stouche behind him but didn’t see it himself, but a couple of young ladies who were working there verified they’d seen it

 

[Big Marn]

We all know Stacey likes a drink but i dont know Websters form in this area...

Keen for a listen
Got a link Beav?

Warriors the only team that didn't have a curfew in Vegas just doesn't bode well with me. This is not good at all.

Should be straightforward then, the Warriors need to move fast. Unimpressed with how George has managed it so far

 

[Rich102]

Absolutely. Speaks volumes about the club's standards.

It was in the journos podcast on the Triple M NRL show, and they were talking about how the producer of James Grahams show had also been talking about it on one of the bye round podcasts

This sounds like the owner Mark Robinson special

Webster came out and said it's up to the team as they're not children. Worried about this season in round 1 is not a good sign.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

If half of this is true, we’re in serious trouble

Yeah, we are. I have now heard about the Agar incident, coaches on the piss, that Leka was out reasonably late the night before the game (I know social media can be full of shit) by just being on here or on facebook. I don't listen to pods (apart from Levels) although I see they have a section on Warriors culture which I will listen to this morning.

Let's get it right - the coaches should not be drinking during the week of an NRL game, at least not in public. It's a shithouse look. I am a teacher, and I don't drink during the week because it disrupts my sleep, and doesn't allow me to do my best thinking.

Anyone reckon Ivan's assistants were out on the strip?

The trouble is, we have an owner who absolutely loves getting on the piss, and being seen with people who are names in the game and other industries. So his clear guidelines are, I love a beer, so you're allowed to, too. He's got his daughter there in some role in the side, his son in law is the media guy (albeit he's very good at what he does), he's happy clapping with mates, it's not an environment where there's significant accountability. Which has always been the issue with the Warriors.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Webster came out and said it's up to the team as they're not children. Worried about this season in round 1 is not a good sign.

I heard that...no, they're not children, they're very well paid sports people. We went over early to get the distractions out the way. Clearly, that didn't happen. The sole focus, they told us, was 2 points. Everything else is noise. We would have lost to Canberra in Canberra or Penrose, because we're a very bog average side at present...but it's hard to think we prepared properly for that game. Contrast that with the Panthers and Sharks, who were SHARP. They looked ready, like they'd trained and mentally come to build into the season.

 

[Big Marn]

my understanding of the schedule is they spent the first week recovering from jet lag and visiting a few tourist attractions like the grand canyon, going on the strip and then knuckling down in the second week. I am not expecting them to be locked up in their hotel rooms every evening after practice, but i would expect the same routine/behaviour like it would be if they were home in Auckland preparing for a game at Mt Smart.
