James Graham was asked to comment on the status of players wages on Fox.

He is not only a log and a memory of his former rugby league self but an absolute disaster as a commentator - he has to be on a third party agreement - what was Murdoch thinking when they hired him.

If I heard properly he is not going to turn up for training unless the pay deal is sorted.

Bring on the Replacements - would rather watch the Jersey Flegg boys run around than him. He is a flopper by the way.

Dragons should show him the door and McFairytale as well.

I reckon he’d be barking to a different tune if he was not on Fox Sports payroll & not playing in his final year of NRL. If he was younger he’d be back at training on Monday ready to gladly accept any income to play sport.

Andrew is too busy selling his Vaucluse shack for 4.2 mill so he can upgrade the 12 mill Circular Quay apartment. Yet they cant afford 1 mill to sack the coach ! They live in different hemispheres to us these spoilt rich boys who use the club as a way to keep friends. Just a question , has Andrew proven himself elsewhere or has he been under the protective wing of his fathers companies all his professional life ?
He'll probably bump into Rusty Crowe, who owns an apartment somewhere around there too. Love to be a fly on the wall as they compare their clubs' fortunes over a soy latte.

Well considering all the players were paid on 1 May for this month they can really say anything at the moment and for someone like Graham he doesn’t train full-time or as much as the rest of the squad anyway was probably gonna come back after the others as well so it’s all storm in a tea cup even if training is delayed I t will still start May 28 Barring another act of god

I don’t have any sympathy.

Graham gave more attention to keeping Mary there as coach last year than he did on focusing in on his game.

Vaughn was another rogue player supporter.

Karma has caught up with both of these former elite talents.

Graham is gone, but Vaughn still has some time left to save his career.

That might be a curdled latte
... or perhaps not

...as all the stats from 22 years of NRL relentlessly point to his Waterboy’s imminent demise - beyond his control.

Sorry Board, but the weight of stats will defeat your man.

51 coaches sacked in the NRL
....2.3 per season

And Waterboy’s stats make him first to go
-
most probably,with his recent record, within the first 8 games

So the stars & stats are in alignment & Andrew may yet be able to Crowe about a new beginninghttps://www.theroar.com.au/2020/02/27/whod-be-an-nrl-coach-who-is-in-danger-in-2020/

do you reckon supercoach is using the time off wisely - working on new excuses ??
1) I didnt expect 2 off seasons that caused too much disruption
2) If I lose 1/2 the support staff then its easy to shift the blame to them and I can remember their names
3) we trained the off season to play 24 rounds how can i coach for 20 games now
4) how can I be held accountable when the NRL rescheduled the last 5 games as rivalry rounds
5) have I mentioned JDB
6) I thought it was a good idea to have frizz and dufft on stage to bag them ( instead of me) as they were the problem that game
7) flanno passed me the wrong colour paddleboard .. we were only minutes away
8) we trained all off season with frizz in a new position and then he goes to newcastle that disrupted the team harmony and it showed during Koombiah sessions by our meditation "guru' - HEs gotta go
9) The board naming a new ceo has put enormous unfair pressure on me by talking to members
10) Look how I handle the tough member question .. even though i knew it was coming
11) the team was disrupted by aitken being sick and not able to play - he is my little mate you know
12) have I mentioned JDB..
13) gus and laurie are my mates
14) yes I am the coach and I am responsible BUT its not my fault thats why we employ others
15) yes we are having another review as the changes made now need to be changed so we can move forward without worrying about what has happened in the past
16) Im going to tell my mate Andrew your picking on me !!

seriously after the train wreck that we are on I dread his pressers ............

Creative and prescient.

Doctors will one day link a new anxiety condition with Marys press conferences.

I’ve learnt to hear him but not to listen, because apart from acute unconsciousness, those who survive an attempt at putting his words into logic, are rendered brain damaged. The extent is always the issue.

Hard to select a favourite excuse from your list. Jdb was hilarious!

Waterboy displays several conditions - mostly related to acute defence mechanisms

Lol,

These days he gets defensive before the actual threat appears.

He’s been known to preface every human interaction with Mary babble especially at the shops:

“ We beat ourselves, no, that one on the left thanks dear....slipped over....no 8.5 cms , no, f**k it bitch, 85 minutes to the grand final, didn’t you f**king hear me.... sorry love.... no f**k it I don’t say sorry it’s everyone’s responsibility....”

Putting the pressure on the sgi gear stewards was a watershed day in nrl history.

The day he admitted to being the coach but couldn’t bring himself to go further with the implications.
One of his better days in command.

...and how’s the “bedding down” of Andrew’s Waterboy going -

you know, what with the excitement, communication revolution, growth & innovative new ways of thinking?

He’s fronted up for 139 poorly ‘coached’ games now

46.8% win record

7years, highest ranking 7th FFS

...well done again Board

How about a few stats to mess with your head Albert?

Mate, there’ve been 300 coaches since the Bateman’s Pub meeting in 1907.

Waterboy has the second worst record of the 51 who’ve coached 139 games or more

With 7th as his highest ranking,

Wayne Pearce just pips him for the title with an 8th placing

- curiously in 7 attempts

Extended loyalty with dullard favourite sons doesn’t pay - or so 113 years of history seems to tell us

And you’re on the wrong side & weight of statistical history Andrew, Ryan & Board

- defy it as you like

They don’t just defy it, they actively support and encourage it.

The club has endured this coaching flogging for years.

You see the famous uniform on the street and you want to give the wearer money and counselling.

It’s clear that your club can’t get its shit together and the early and miserable failure of post review measures, indicates no-one can help you either.

You either sack Mary or disappear off the face of the earth. Surrender the Illawarra to AFL.

There’s thousands of fans you’ve lost who are never coming back, scores are walking out every day.

People are sick of it.

The Board should neck their involvement in professional sport immediately.

Bunch of selfish useless f**ks.

Overrated and a passenger for quite a while now..
His performances on TV have been underwhelming and pre rehearsed..
We would lose nothing if he didn't turn up to training and didn't play for us ever again.
Time for change….big time.

If only his excuse defence mechanism could be translated to defence on the field, we'd be conceding 5 points a game.

FMD
I did try to educate Waterboy about the merit of linespeed re RMC

He is totally unable to learn from mistakes & stats, but that argument’s been had

....after 15,000 posts

Alas we were ranked 15th on that critical stat in 2019
- 15th on points conceded
- 13th on RM

.....your accruing nightmare
& accretions of shite

The 2nd worst longterm coach in 113 years of League history:

upload_2020-5-3_9-25-57.jpeg

Set in stats

( just can’t seem to nail a title can he?)

I see Tyson’s been liking Instagram posts re comments about him getting a new coach.

That’ll go down well with McHas-To-Be-Loved (or Aitken will take your spot).

C’mon players - you have to step up
like Tyson
and start responding to social media trying to rescue you

The Shed’s the thing boys
Lose him The Shed
overtly
Or he’ll fuc//k you over

....again & again

Step up & voice your views juniors - the Hacks like Graham are gutless media pawns
(Although Red you did try at first to work on the linespeed, but soon gave up the RMC, in despair probably,
had a moment of truth about everyone wanting to coach, then got sucked into the comfort zone & now tow the great McLie)

I’m surprised the kids’ parents haven’t hit the social media & staged a revolt by now

How stale & frayed the lads must all feel

.....having to front his bullshit for the 7th year Andrew

..... I guess Leeson, Luciano, Thompson & Co would’ve been handy right now - but like Tyson, the fans & the players,

they’d had enough of the crap long ago

What a loyal Wollongong boy Tyson must’ve been - to stick it out so long

....despite Andrew’s bumbling coddled mate

As The Board sty-wallow oblivious to the deafening laughter across the highway & in the suburbs & Boardrooms across the nation

.... as they hunker down for

further
Club-sanctioned
failure
