Interesting take.

Soooooo how about that Adam O’Brien?

It’s as if someone with 3700 posts developed Stockholm Syndrome just in the past 72 hours.

KPP: Coach gave us free rein

The mark of a great coach is the team doing a complete 180 into red hot form as soon as they are told to forget everything the coach has told them.

O’Brien got embarrassed by his own side on Thursday. He actually outdid himself by putting Hunt at Centre. That kid has an enormous future.

Real test for him on the weekend IMO in terms of what style we show up with.

Roosters have a huge and dynamic pack but their side is pretty suspect defensively. We show up trying to grind them rather than throwing it around and I really don’t think AOB can be helped.

This side has just shown him how to save his job. It could be as simple as him meeting his players halfway. He can always go back to the grind out style if we start getting smashed through errors. But he can also send out the message to move the ball and push their luck. We seem to be pretty good at scoring points when we do.
I could be wrong but it is like AOB has delivered half of Melbourne’s philosophy - defence first - but forgotten the other half of the game plan. Scoring.

Mann playing well and playing for Queensland. Both 14s for SOO are ex Newie players and it was AOB who made them into 14s. Is that a fair statement?

AOB does have an eye for talent. Wish he would let the talent do what they do best though instead of making them all into boring hit up merchants.

Wasn't Mann playing 14 in 2019 under Brown?
