Sack mcgregor

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Im sure there has to be a KPI clause in his contract somewhere....if there is its a poorly worded one. ...if it isnt then their just plain stupid....
Id like to know how many jobs there are where you dont get results and still get a good salary year after year

 

[Front-Rower]

Feeling your pain over our way as well. It’s hard to move on the rusted ones. Keep up the good battle though

But you know Gareth I will keep saying it. The cupboard out there is losing stock. the Super clubs that are cash strapped with 3rd party arrangements will constantly have the best squads (e.g. deals with betting agencies and TV). You see how much Tedesco is popping up on TV advertising lately.
They will buy and retain the better players but it is stretching thin. Roosters & Souths, Melb, Brisbane, Warriors and maybe Newcastle, Eels, Sharks? & Penrith are well funded.
Lets look at the teams who are looking and need to rebuild sectons of their rosters including depth and getting rid of a lot of current 1st graders to elsewhere.
Us, Tigers, Titans, Dogs, Manly, Eels, Cowboys..just for starters. If all the players that are supposed to be getting shipped out to god knows where or apparently not up to scrtach....
Where are all the replacement players going to come from?. No one wants reserve graders.
Super League is the only other as not enough junior talent to really fill the void.
Players via managers dont care..as long as they are getting 1st grade big $$$ somewhere around the globe. Talent can only go so far when junior numbers are dwindling

We are fastly becoming a NRL mimic competition to the Super League regardless of a so called even salary cap. NRL will be about a reduced 10 team survivor comp (forget the lower stuff and rest) the way we are going in time, how and where the money is spent by NRL to run and maintain 1st grade product to attract TV money.

Look at the Weidler article $15K spent on Cam Smiths posh 400 celebration dinner. What is wrong with hiring out a function room at a local hotel for 20% of that cost for 30 people including budget flights

Sunday rant over...off to do my thing for our club and CRL..and a few tit bits from the Mary coaching manual.
Have a good day all!

Great post and very hard to disagree with what you have said. Those who push expansion never explain where the extra first grade standard players will come from.

One thing I will say is that if you look at the most successful teams, they don’t really have any depth. Depth in the modern game doesn’t matter. What matters is having 3 or 4 of the best players in key positions and hoping that they don’t get injured/suspended etc.

In reality Roosters, Melbourne et al. are 2 or 3 injuries away from the bottom 8 compared to top 4

Paul Mcgregor Said he take this side into the finals.
I believe him, yep 100% Correct.
Just seen him Buying the whole Team Tickets to watch the Finals.

Do you really think this board is smart enough to do that? I don’t.

 

[Gareth67]

Don’t worry gents I have discovered the real reason for Tuesday nights board meeting .
The young fella pictured above will be introduced as Mary’s new assistant , something about game plans and which way the white board should be facing when discussing tactics.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Do you really think this board is smart enough to do that? I don’t.

Probabnly not...as I said if they did then its poorly worded

Looks like you're stuck with him

I simply don't get this. Am I missing something.

The Coach has openly said he has the team he wants. He has built this squad for the past six years.

Yes we have some injuries and suspensions but guess what, so do other clubs and they are playing better than us.

We still have the second most Origin reps this year but can't even compete in games let alone win them.

I will go as far to say if Widdop is not in our team the past four years we run bottom four each year.

I could Coach this squad of exceptional talent better than what has been happening.

I actually don't blame Mary, if my employer pays me well and gives me a two year extension for being a good guy and having the best job u could think of, well guess what, I am signing on the bottom line.

The idiots who made this extension decision yet again are the ones probably doing the review and they will justify there own existence by looking after there own decisions.

This entire situation smells of utter bullish!t.

Rant over.

 

[getsmarty]

Back to the Question...Who replaces Mary...I'll take anyone,,,Humphrey B bear will do...problem is the board have locked him in for another 2 years..........

 

[sco22]

It's a premeditated spin and lip service exercise for the sake of the fans.
They had it all worked out when they extended McGregor but it has already backfired.
If we continue to perform poorly (and it sure looks that way), the media will jump on board and really stir the pot.
In my opinion, Johnston and the Board are painting themselves into a corner.
Fancy having a performance review is not a topic of discussion.
Again, this review may culminate in yet another patronizing snub of the fans.
"We know best>McGregor is the best man for the job>Shut up and keep stumping up your hard earned cash you idiot fans AND to all you "keyboard warriors", how dare you criticize the coach and the way we are running the club"
Disgraceful, unforgivable attitude towards the fans.
Johnston the Joke..

Maybe the board wants this happening Denis there could be an agenda look how quite it is there is nothing stirring from the Illawarra mafia or St George board oh wait a minute they don’t have a voice it’s all controlled by the Illawarra Mafia

 

[Mickthedragon]

Just saw James Hooper back Mary 100% on fox big league wrap.
What an absolute flog.
He has to be one of Mary's good mates off the field somehow.
There are nothing but excuses flowing out from everywhere. I can't believe there isn't more pressure on him.
Unbelievable.

 

[Coffs dragon]

This is what I want to see from the Media and fan base....

 

[since77]

Reading Johnston's comments today, the board are delusional. Apparently sacking the coach is 'simplistic'.

Then he describes the process of reappointing McGregor earlier in the year. My blood boiled reading this b#llsh*t.

It wasn't just a case of renewing the coach, you go through a process," Johnston said.

"We reviewed all potential coaches that were on the market or in the business of coaching in Australia and overseas. We looked at what would become available in the next few years as well.

And after that, they chose McGregor. F#ck$ing morons.

 

[ChocOConnor]

If anyone wants to really feel ill read Paul Crawley article on the telegraph website.

Like seriously what is it that they can see that no one else can see. It has made me sick in the guts

Actually he could have saved time if he just read McGregor's CV and coaching credentials properly.
Not one other club official from any other club would have come up with the same conclusion as Johnston and the Board.
A quick phone call to Bennett would have made a decision easy.
We are a laughing stock and the other clubs are just so happy we are managed the way we are because we are one less horse in the race.

What a mob of dead set idiots we have running our club.
Absolute disgrace

 

[epDragon62]

On Triple M today a fan called and nailed it... one thing he said that I’ve heard before i# that McGregor doesn’t listen to his team and we know what happened to J Dimitrou who was undoubtedly too vocal.

So, it may be that Hornby and Young are actually OK but cannot have enough influence.

All in all McGregor is Dragons enemy #1 as far as I’m concerned and he has to go.

Its come to this , they have no idea how to get out of the hole their in , which makes me think that deals were done amongst themselves that have to stay in place ..... Can't think of any other reason why nothing is said or changing .....

 

[Tuddy]

Can't coach.

I hope his team continually gets thrashed until he goes if that is what it takes. This team is 3rd last and has lost 7 in a row.

I can't believe this was the first post in this thread and that it was over three years ago.

But yeah, it's not the coach.......
