Rumours and Stuff

no it's not

it's his job and he alone is responsible for their performance

Why do we pay players at all then?

 

[IFR33K]

So you are agreeing with me that not everything is down to the coach. The players also influence outcomes.

Thanks for your support.

No. I’m stating no coach could of stopped the qld dominance.

The true future of rugby league is coaches standing on a field, shouting game plans at each other at the top of their lungs....

No. The players also need to perform.

Why do you think employers have performance reviews?

To suggest it’s entirely down to the coach or it’s entirely down to the players is dumb.

All successful teams have had performing coaches and performing players.

And then an interpretive dance! Really sink the boot in.

So was QLDs dominance entirely due Mal Meninga’s coaching?

 

[Incorrect]

Getting the ball more often means getting it closer to the ruck, where the defence is tightest. Out wide there is more space but less ball. It's a trade-off. But more is expected of fullbacks and halves (even the ones wearing 6) than just the ability to beat defenders. If you have a back whose main role is to take on the defence you stick him at wing or centre. Whenever Hayne is passing before the line or kicking he is being wasted.

Yeah righto....

We need FIT/powerful forwards like Kane Evans to make room for Hayne..

The team coming last shouldn't try putting their best performed player over the last 3 games and a 2 time Dally M winner in a spot to exert the influence he might be able to in order to win us games.... Carry on....

Isn't that pretty much consistent with what Gary was saying?

Yes. Yes it is.

It’s absolutely f**ken laughable that some people have suggested that players don’t have a bearing on the outcome of a game of football. Stupid beyond belief.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Players have no bearing on the outcome of a game of football.

What if they're all captain-coaches?

well then the coach shouldn't have signed them or he's doing a piss poor job at coaching them

he is responsible for who is playing and how they're playing

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

What if they're all captain-coaches?

Too many cooks. That's down to BA.

 

[Bazal]

What if they're all captain-coaches?

What if they are Paul Carige?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Too many cooks. That's down to BA.

Nah that's JT and Roy in a pool. oh...you said 'cooks'.

He has a role to play but he isn't entirely responsible. He doesn't get out on the field and play.

Anyway, you are talking out of your coight. You have been very critical of players in the past. What gives now?

He's also been very critical of Bellamy, whose boules he is now polishing.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Dumb as a post, one dimensional gibber. If only life was a simple as his brain can process.

I think there's a 'q' in 'coight'.
