The Amazing John Morris

[Ozzi_78]

Just to clarify one point Batteredflake as you have confused me with your posts.

Regarding the impact to naming names as per your request, if it was just me who is at risk of doing so then I would however other people and their families may be impacted.

The “wow” post wasn’t a comeback, it was genuine shock.

Happy to be corrected, but I am certain that I heard last night on NRL 360 someone said that with Fitzgibbon signing with Cronulla that the phone has been running hot.

Another said, you mean for John Morris?

The reply was "No, for the Roosters Assistant Coaching position."

It is incredibly clear any of the other 15 NRL Clubs could have approached Bomber if they wanted to.

Win for the Day: Thank goodness none of our key players and personnel are with Pacific Sports Management!

Yes and question was asked would he be going to Roosters, and answer was no, they promote from within, or if the see someone that want to bring in.

This whole Bomber and the Juniors needs to be addressed.
Ricky Stuart set the systems up and he employed Dave Howlett to implement them. Dave is still at The Sharks, now an AC in first grade.
Bomber got handed the Juniors on a silver platter, and kudos to him for taking them to a good level, not great, as they would have won that year they beat everyone in the regular season.
I hope the new management recognise what Howlett has been to the club and keep him on.

There's a lot of EMOTION flowing through this thread...

Having just read it I'm thinking it was more early morning boozing

In that case I think maybe he should go as well if we’re dissatisfied with the current performance.

I think you should go after today's performance

I walked in here and turned off the light. Now I can’t find the door

No one here gets out alive!

So much emotion. The media has played you all. Strip it back a bit. An off contract coach was not given a new contract. Simple stuff. Would it have been better to do it later in the season? Probably. But shit happens.

Exactly.
Perhaps the reason it came out now was because Fitzgibbon couldn’t wait to have his future sorted. If the club waited another month, they might miss out.

Sometimes reasons aren’t what we think

Morris should have stayed on for the season. The team will fly when we get injured players back. That would have made him look very good . And make our players even more attractive on the player market.
The NRL community knows what he has inherited and the results are there. Some of the best coaches are thin skinned and emotional but to just walk out was wrong. Or was he just sacked?
Making a play for Chambers is a missed opportunity as well but it is what it is.

Has it been missed?

 

[Frenzy.]

Nil emotion.

strange interactions though.

Welcome to Strange City. Wait till you sit through a game day thread. HAHAHA

 

[Frenzy.]

Im only a fan and can only speculate . If I was selling my speculation as the Scouts honour Truth, Ftom the horses mouth . Id put my name to it. Its good enough for Morriss Good enough for his mum even.

So BF, what's ya name? Who are you?

The only thing this example of gutter journalism was missing was the noddy’s.

 

[Quicksilver]

It isn’t gutter journalism just because you don’t agree with it. It’s just a bloke expressing his feelings about the situation. And doing it with class, as always.

This whole issue has now become so confusing on who said what and when. The latest being the club guaranteed bomber had the job in the morning only to get the arse later in the day. Others are convinced Bomber was sacked and told to leave immediately. f**k the media
