Sunday's Papers the good the bad and the ugly

[Hurriflatch]

Quite a bit in both papers

Herald says that Smith is on 400,000 a year so it will cost Parra $800,000 to pay him out + needing to pay another coach so it would cost Parra effectivly $1 million to get a new coach in 2005.

The speak to a lifelong supporter and football club member who thinks Smith & the entire board should go.

The have quotes from a few Ex-Players (J.Cayless, Moodie, Donald, Tonga, DRew, I.Hindmarsh, Schifcofske, Hodgson and McGuire) none of the flat out say Smith was the reason I left however

Hodgson hints that it was part of the reason he left

McGuire says that he wasn't effected by it but could see how some players may have been

Schifcofske calls Smith an astute coach and is suprised at the amount of critisim Smith is getting

Drew basically says no comment

I.Hindmarsh says that without Smith he wouldn't be anywhere near the player he is

Tonga says that in his 1st 2 years in was all postive but in 2003 he could see some problems starting

Donald - No Comment

Moodie - Smith best coach he ever had

J.Calyess - Very smart coach

THe Tele has a look at where are they now on the 2001 GF team

Has an article about Fitztgerald saying the back to coach it is really just a reivew of Fitzgeralds interview with Hadley.

alson some comments from Morris "It was our fourth loss in a row at home and Brian had to do something"

"WE haven't been going well as a team, but I just have to take it on the chin and do whatever I can to force my way back in"

"There is not even a hint of any problems between Brian and the players"

"I think we all feel bad that he is under so much pressure from outside the club, because we know how hard he is working to turn things around"

"He is taking just about all of the heat when it is us who are the ones not performing. We've had a lot of injuries, particullly to key players in key positions, and that hasn't helped, but you just have to cope when that happens"

Comment from Kenny saying that while he thinks the coach should go the board needs to take a lot of the blame aswel

Comment from Ray Price - Smith and Fitzgerald both MUST go.

Article that says Hodgson was told by his manager that Parra were all but releasing him so he signed with the Tigers and wants a big game today


and the BIG reveal that Lyon WANTS to go to Manly was made by........................................REbecca Wilson

 

[Jake the snake]

Rebecca Wilson---scoop .

 

[Once Dead]

Rebecca Wilson has no clue.......still feeling the effects of the alcohol from that DUI incident are we Mrs Wilson?

 

[Eels Dude]

I'll take a look at those articles myself later, should make an interesting read. Hopefully all this negative talk will fire the guys up for a big performance today. Rebecca Wilson is being very creative now, instead of making rumours up, she's stealing other peoples.

 

[Suitman]

The problem with a column like Wilson's, and Weidler's for that matter, is that they don't have to substantiate anything, as most of it is heresay, or rumour. So the whole lot could be made up bollocks for all we know.

It would all be better off in Woman's Day. (sorry portia)

Suity

 

[El Diablo]

Wilson has already been exposed once this year :lol:

Should've been locked up for endangering innocent people's lives by driving over the limit.

Disgraceful woman.
