This must be the most tortured , talked about and failed apprenticeship in NRL history


A relentless humiliation for players, fans & the wider game


An unprofessional & compromised administration with zero PR skills & no credibility with the fanbase

Wait till you read about how the 'Boys Club' sold out to WIN for 5 million less just to protect their own jobs.

I think I am going to have to find a new sport to follow.
After 50 years it’s come to this.
Might move to Liverpool or Manchester city in England, at least the Mersey side teams know how to win.
Coming even 2nd, 3rd or 4th to them is a failure.
Melbourne is closer but the purple cheaters wrestling club is there.

How good would it be to see our forwards run onto the ball like the souths forwards. Instead we have a state of origen forward that wants to play halfback.
Our attack is crap and it will not change until McGregor is removed. The silence from our board just shits me off , as it is like they just hope the suporters will eventually go away.
The Fans are just a nuisance to these guys.
Their whole attitude towards the Fans reeks of dismissal.
They continue to peddle their spin about the coach, the crumby results and the future.
They are just insulting our intelligence.

Some serious questions have to asked about that.
Even if the TSE offer only matched WINs, why were they “blindsided” by the deal.
Surely a competent board would have gone be back to TSE to tell them of WINs offer to see if they wanted to offer more?

Something stinks here.

Exactly how I feel as a fan, a nuisance who they beg once a year to pay up to have zero say, no wonder some are going public with their frustrations (ie booing at the team). I wish Andrew Webster would at least mention in his column the size of the Sack McGregor thread that is on this fans forum, just to show the extent of the angst amongst the keenest followers.

McRigormortis picked him at half for a match in 2015 and he liked it so much he has wanted to play there ever since.

You just have to look at McGregor's CV when he was appointed.
3 years coaching bush footy and two mediocre years coaching reserve grade.
How can an appointment like that be justified except for nepotism?
What's worse, exacerbated by extensions and with no improvement during nearly 5 years.
There is no other club in the NRL that would recruit a head coach like this. NOT ONE
Yet one of the greatest clubs in Rugby League history is subjected to an amateur coach without the grounding or knowledge to do the job.
McGregor is not the problem, its the people who appointed him that are the problem.

Totally agree,
I thought he would be a caretaker until we found a coach, now he's become the undertaker sadly.

“We’d like to win the competition. It’s a new comp that starts in a week’s time,” McGregor said on Friday. “We’re one win away from everyone saying how good our season’s been“

The word “delusional” springs to mind.


We limped into the 8 on the back of sporadic individual brilliance post May

Yes, McTotallyFuccinDeluded (TFD) needs professional help after that comment .
Nirvana is always coming - just around the corner, the bounce of the ball, a ref's whistle, a longer field, return to form.
It's all beyond his control in his dissociative state.

No recognition of his failure as coach by EVERY discernible measure - damningly over 4 years FFS.

No connection to reality.

No concept of HOW to construct a win, prepare a team or develop a roster.

There'll be no dignity in his removal .
The last vestiges of that were lost at Jubilee last Sunday.

Someone order the straight jacket FFS
And lock him out of the dressing room Jimmy

Over 7,100 posts, nearly 400 pages, started 4 July 2016 by thebigredv. Well done champion.

Where has it got us?

Nearly every other thread, nearly every post ends up to McEmbarrassing. Wonder if the forum staff could merge all posts relating to his sacking, how many pages and posts it would be ?

Edit: I note bigredv hasn’t been on here since Nov 17. Hope you’re ok mate.
