Here one from Rd 20 2016 that still has the faithful rolling in the aisles.

"THAT'S ANOTHER POSITIVE WE CAN STILL MAKE THE 8 THERE'S A LOT OF TEAMS THAT CAN'T "

We finished the season full of running 11th .

What's your favourite?

2 losses ago when he said "WE CAN STILL WIN THE COMP"

 

[BLM01]

Mine from 2019 are which contradict each other as he obviously lives in the past
TPINOF - "The past is not our future" but then
"Last year we were only 85 minutes from a GF"
"Last year we spent 20 weeks in the Top 4" then
"We have had above average distractions"
"We have not had our bset 17 together all year"

Tries from kicks don't count. One of his all time greats.

 

[Life's Good]

Funniest for me is ‘I’m a first grade coach’. Cracks me up every single time.

 

[Knuckle-dragger]

f**k Paul McGregor.

After we lost to Melbourne a few weeks ago. “It was a small win”.
Other classics:
If the field was 98 metres long we would have won.
The opposition had to score their tries from kicks.
At one point this year he actually said something to the effect of if you stopped all the games after 30 minutes we’d be in the top 4.

 

[Dragons22]

After round 11 loss to the Sharks 22-9.
Reporter: “Mary are you shattered with that loss?”
McIdiot: “No I’m not. I’m excited”.

 

[Dragons22]

How about last year whenever we lost he’d call that team the benchmark.
After round 7:
“You know. The Warriors are the benchmark of the comp”
Then he used it against Souths, then Penrith.

 

[Paddles]

My favourite (and a couple of questions it poses):

"I think we all know if we stop the game after 30 minutes we're in the top four, but for the next 50 we're in the bottom two, so to be down and then get to a winning margin like we did was very pleasing." From https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6247703/dodgy-meal-doesnt-slay-nrl-dragon-vaughan/?cs=14326

Does he really think 'we all know' such stupid factoids?

Is it the working out such factoids what is taking up the 12-14 hours a day, leaving no time to learn about the basics of coaching and working out how to drop Aitken?

 

[RedVDave]

"We thought De Belin was going to play this week, we trained and prepared as if he were playing"

Nice to see he always has a plan b incase things don't go the way you would expect.

 

[St Hope]

"We're the only team that's gone coast to coast in the top 4 since Rd 1 to now"
After which we fell into the ocean
Roosters Rd 20 2018
"Our vision is on what we need to do not a revision"
Warriors Rd 21 2018
And who could forget
"Always been a coach who said right time right place for an offload"
Rd 11 Warriors 2017

 

[RedVDave]

There's an old proverb that very much applies to Mary.

"A wise man knows much but says little, a fool knows little and says far to much"

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

He’s got a classic or two every press conference.

The press all sit in awe at his biblical profoundness, everyone else laughs except you poor bastards who are stuck with him. Wondering what your past sins were in your last life!

 

[Objective View]

We were 85 minutes from a grand final.

Straight Shooter

 

[Gareth67]

The maestro hasn’t actually said this at this stage of his stellar career, but just before he cops the silver bullet that we have all been waiting for ( with bated breath ) he will look up above and point to the heavens and say “ the plane - the plane “ , in a sort of half English half Spanish accent .

 

[Dragons 09]

A lot of the stuff he says is so ridiculous that it is mostly comical (if it wasn't actually so serious).
But i really f**ken despised one line from the Rabbits presser.
He said, "catch the ball, make the tackle, win the game". If you translate this he actually said, "Saab dropped the ball, Saab missed the tackle, Saab lost us the game"
Way to go super-coach, bag an 18 year old debutante in front of the nations media so as the kid can feel even more f**ked than he already does......such a quality mentor......bag a kid to cover for your own f**ken incompetence. Dead set grub of a man!

We can still win the comp

 

[Gomarchin]
