Steve Murphy is our A coach for all the good he is doing. Been there too long, along with Kidwell and BA

I don't now much about him but when I looked him up last year I was horrified to find his title is "backs coach". Maybe that is just a mistaken title, but if it isnt WTF.
Backs and forwards arent even an actual distictions in the sport any more.

I reckon Johns was a great player. But Jason Taylor would tactically be twice as smart. A.John I do not see as the brightest guy. He was just a brilliant footballer. Same goes for Thurston. Id much prefer Cronk on the coaching staff then JT.

"Backs coach" wasn't his title, it was saying that he supports BA and thinks he's doing a great job.... And explains why he's still employed as BA's assistant!!

this is filed under "stuff".
I hope every company that is a front of jersey sponsor goes broke in the next 12 months. Especially Brydens Lawyers. I hope they go broke after some shameful ENRON type end.

You did you boof head.

Enough said, get your hand off it stop posting while being stupid.
I said they will let him fail at training. It doesn't mean he actually did, just that they would leave him to make (or miss) his one-on-one tackles. In games he wasn't really getting those chances.

I agree, mate.

Johns was a fantastic footballer, but I'm not sure he's a natural teacher.

Taylor was also a great player (not on Johns' level, of course), but I think he has shown that he can teach.

He's doing something right. Moses' kicking game has gone to another level this year, a high percentage of attacking bombs are contestable, he's putting different angles on kicks. The way he's running this year is different too, it's more "eyes up". He also seems to be taking the game on more rather than letting it come to him. All of this is of course subjective as you can't quantify any of what I've said but I think Moses is playing at a higher level and more consistently, although this could all be because of age and experience, nothing to do with Johns but we won't really know.

Have you seen Utikaimkno play or heard much. Filia is it? The one with the broken neck or back.
