How is it possible? How is it possible that we are simultaneously watching the Scum play like their typical grubby selves, and STILL Grant Atkins is making it seem like Uncle's cheque cleared and the Rorters are kissed on the dick.
f**k me this comp is a laugh.
This continued obsession with wanting to treat our players like they're one sneeze away from an emotional breakdown and thus need to be treated with kid gloves....I mean wtf have we been doing for the past 10 years, if not that? It hasn't worked. Ever. They're coddled, soft and spoiled.
They...
I really don't care if they crack the sads about it. A "drill sergeant" is exactly what these princesses need. If they don't regret turning up and performing for Kevvie now, they soon will, and good.
Get serious, or get the **** out. It's as simple as that.
Well of course. You can't just do some cookie cutter performance review when it comes to Bennett. His style of coaching is too psychological, and he is one of the all time greats when it comes to behind the scenes politicking.
If they had the right people doing the review, they really don't have to. Whoever it was, they go to the board and deliver their report as they see it. "Of the 35 players we interviewed, such and such percentage delivered an unfavorable view on Kev's coaching abilities", or something to that...
I understand your concern, but ultimately it will probably be a good decision just for the point of view of signings/re-signings, never mind how his successor turns out.
We looked infinitely better as a side when he was on. The only thing I'm concerned about is how long his stints on field will be. Smoothy is always there to give him a breather.
Obviously all we can do is speculate, none of us are insiders, but there had to be some serious angst among the playing group around certain things. Kev's style of coaching definitely was one of them, but the nepotism around Billy had to be part of it too. The Cleary's get away with it because...
Yooooooo....
Did not expect that on a Thursday night. Those player reviews must have been disastrous. Had to happen I'm afraid.
Surely Madge or Hannay have been grabbed.
As far as the halves are concerned, we're just going to have to swallow it until Black matures. I can see what Kev will do already: Reyno retires, Billy gets moved to the halves to partner Ezra and we will have to put up with that dogshit for a few years until whichever comes first: Billy...
