The coach’s box looked about as chilly as I’ve ever seen.The shot yesterday of Flanagan in the coaches box with McGregor was one of total disdain. The arms were crossed and the look on his face said it all.

You crack me up very clever hahahahaha

Not wrong on all accountsAlways nice to see a relative on the thread!
The oils lend themselves to the feeling of powerlessness and frustration many sgi folk are feeling.
Everyone has their own reasons for shredding Mary.
Apart from his inability to coach and the scores of pitiful and illogical excuses for losses over the last couple of years, I take issue with the following:
1. Straight after the devastation of 2019, the worst season in sgi history, he bundys off on some corporate junket to the usa with his mates. They do an all expenses paid tour of clubs and stadia and attend corporate functions with captains of industry ( some of which have bit the dust already).
They stuffed their fat faces, they drank and partied.
Luxury suites...the whole Hog.
He had a great time and he came back excited and started sprouting this corporate crap no-one understood or cared less about. Mumbo jumbo about the squad being “ rookies again” ( after his 6th year as coach, with some of the best players in the world) and having his “ footprints all over the club”
He didn’t file any large reports, he didn’t come back with anything except claiming he’d learned things. That didn’t bear out at the start of this year, unless you call losing your best player in a nonsense tournament an accomplishment.
I felt that after such a horrific season, his place was home with the players, the club and the fans. He had the major hand in the mess and he upped and took off.
That he hadn’t earned the right to piss off overseas was one thing, but his decision to go, clearly showed he lacked any leadership and he lacked respect for people.
And to this day, no one has had the temerity to ask captain courageous for a “please explain”.
It was a miserable act of self indulgence the likes of which has never been seen in the history of the game.
People were hurting all over your club and Mary had done the runner.
He had the chance to walk the walk and make a personal sacrifice for the club, but just like his lack of a pay cut, he took what he could while he could.
He’s wealthy enough to spend years in the USA if he wanted, largely thanks to his putrid undeserved hand in your wallets. But he abandoned ship at the most critical and hardest time in the clubs history.
Over on sgi official they were running stories on vintage victories. People here were very very angry and thought being a finals series now was better than reading about something in the distant past.
So nobody who knows him as a coach or leader, has any time for him.
And don’t forget, he came to power in a bloody coup that took someone else’s sole livelihood away and he destroyed them and theirs wholesale. So if he wants to live by the sword....
That he talks about his ego, baffles most people. Delusional is an understatement. He’s the high turkey of the nrl. Kearney couldn’t coach either, but at least he’s a decent bloke.
In my opinion, Mary is not a nice person, he’s a selfish individual who puts his own interests above all. He’s never cleanly taken responsibility. He’s always left the door slightly ajar to blame others.
And the board buy into the bullshit because it makes them feel important.
Mary will be smashed into the next world next week by Robbo. He won’t know what hit him. The scowling hateful ( factory) Mary will be back with gusto.
The last two weeks have been excellent for the Mary-enablers, but the fun and games are over.
A lot of people were upset he found his back from his conference. They could have worn it, if he’d stayed over there.
I wouldn't be totally shocked if no other coach gets sacked this year after all the bad press the warriors have got as a result of it.
Next year though could see a few axings.
Dean Pay, John Morris, Paul Green, Anthony Seibold and Paul McGregor are all under immense pressure. I don't think 1 of them will last beyond next year.
Two completely different characters that looked very polarised in the coaches box. Mary is the dud one. He just cannot gel with others who are trying to help him. How about you bloomin' coaches giving each other some high fives from time to time?The coach’s box looked about as chilly as I’ve ever seen.
What after 6 games. Mary won his first 6 in 2018..did you say that about Mary thenYeah, that’s a good post to reflect on.
But in all of the above cases, the recruitment has been woeful as well.
When the veteran Issac Luke was announced as the only big sgi signing last year,realistically, I imagine Mary was very pissed off. Fisticuffs?! This was because he’d already lost good players so overall quality was on the decline.
That negative process has only gained momentum this year.
But by way of some optimism, I can see the sgi war chest emerging. Suli was offered 3 years, being 2 almost certainly post-Mary. That’s fighting words to the market.
Bennett is looking the best bet. For sure hed like a war chest. Whatever happens, he is an elite coach and will bring some used bunnies and broncs over to complement the squad. That will add to the depth so desperately needed. No more protected species.
But sgi shouldn’t be cruising with wooing him over. It shouldn’t be stupid, but with all these jobs, it’s a good coaches market.
How the board missed OBrien is unbelievable. What a year he’s having.
I noticed that to Flannigan refuses to look at the camera. Then again I'd be annoyed if I was doing all the work and not getting the credit for it.The coach’s box looked about as chilly as I’ve ever seen.

Not to mention knowing how much the head coach is on while Flannigan is probably not even on half that at the moment.

So in recent times I have heard that Mary doesn’t coach the defence. He isn’t in involved in any of the recruiting, he isn’t hands on and watches video. He doesn’t select the team. He must be the highest paid coach if you look at it from a dollar paid per responsibility point of view.
I mean seriously $800k and he pretty much does none of the coaching function apart from video watching.
The body language is pretty terrible isn't it DD?- every other coaches box has the assistant sitting next to the coach but it looks like Mary has decided that if the TV cameras are going to be trained on the SGI box, the message is going to be clear- I'm the bloody head coach and you (Flanno) can sit in the cheap seats. The jealousy and insecurity is truly pathetic.
