Coach loses dressing room over COVID protocols

Which successful and formerly popular NRL coach has lost the dressing room?

It's not the strugglers - Michael Maguire, Trent Barrett or Anthony Griffin - although they clearly have massive problems.

It's a coach whose team is doing okay - so why are his players fuming?​

They are upset because they are living with such strict COVID protocols whereas the coach is living the high life and has often seen strutting around town.
It has left a sour taste in many players' mouths - and could come back to bite the coach.

 

[Apey]

Well it's the Mole for starters.

But neither of those scenarios really fit AOB. He's not successful or been around long enough to be 'formerly' anything, and I wouldn't say his team are doing okay really.

 

[Burwood]

I'd have Brown, Arthurs, Payten and Holgate before it being AOB.

 

[ryan.a87]

Could probably throw in sticky now I think about it

 

[Willie Ray]

Could probably throw in sticky now I think about it

Sticky for sure...
He's definitely got a bit of strut about him.

 

[Apey]

And he's definitely a successful coach overall.

Sticky, he's had mutliple players wives have a go at him now. I'd say he's on the nose.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Lol that doesn't fit AOB at all, comon mate

Agree with most, it's Sticky

 

[Yosh]

Surely, it has be asked now. Ponga had his best game in ages and Best was sensational. Gagai has been awesome all year. We look clueless out there sometimes. Just passing the ball side to side and putting up useless bombs, just for the sake of it. What's our game plan?

 

[Jono078]

I think the biggest issue around AOB now is his roster management.

Yeah we have some injuries but let's be real, IF any other team lost a

Dom Young
Lachlan Fitzgibbon
Mitch Barnett
Adam Clune
Jayden Brailey

I don't think you'd even notice, probably because half of them wouldn't even be in the top 17.

So yeah at the moment we feel a bit top heavy with our cap usage and he isn't getting the best out of those players. That's a problem.

Everyone was quick to praise Joey after 2 rounds, too. Crossland proves even he can't polish a turd.

Young and Brailey I could see starting in other teams across the comp. The rest are bench players at best, if not straight up reserve graders.

O'Brien seems to be taking the Bellamy approach of recruiting cast-asides from other teams and trying to get the most out of them while building around a solid core. Problem is, he isn't Craig Bellamy... and our core isn't solid.

Is that Ponga's best? Fmd if so. Cut that bum and move forward

 

[perverse]

His best this year sadly, yep. He's been downright embarassing until today.

Do you honestly have nothing better to do with your life than waltz into a completely unrelated teams sub-forum and drop shitty bait around the place?

Is that where life is for you right now?

Can we start a gofundme or something to raise this man a respectable reason to live?

I feel for you buddy. Hang in there.

I see our main problem as having zero leaders in the group. Zero.

second is our retention of sub- standard players.

David Klemmer.

problem is for some reason they don’t seem to acknowledge it.

They are not mutually exclusive.
