Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3180411, member: 8988"] He's done as a player and it's some pink smoke. He didn't lay into anyone or tell the media what he might think of certain people. He announced he's having a little girl. I guess if he threw himself on the ground and cried for 5 minutes it might have made better television but you know what? he doesn't have to worry about that anymore. If they don't want him around the club after this, then I guess that would hurt, but something tells me he will land on his feet. Cameron smith scores a try throws a bird at Bellamy and Bellamy throws one back, then everyone laughs. Ive yet to hear their administration publicly call it a disgrace because I think they actually get it. If we want success we have to allow players and coaches to bond organically. Part of that is things like this. We start managing the way players are supposed to react instead of making sure the coach has the freedom to demand it means we've lost sight of what drives success. Give me a player that gives it all, that puts what's being coached into action and give the coach the power to sack anyone, the likes of Boyd included if he doesn't give it, then judge them. Am I saying we had a great year? Emphatically no! but Darius was consistently one of our best after being demoted and shuffled around like a pack of cards. That counts more to me. Next year is a new tale and Darius won't be there. Then we'll have someone else to criticise for not living up to expectations (probably lodge or bird, but possibly Turpin, Haas or whoever else we bring in). They too will cop the same crap and we will ask ourselves why they were signed, just like our 6 time premiership coach, knik, Blair, Wallace going all the way back to Lewis. I hope we at least learn what the storm already know: that you set targets and expect to reach them or accept the consequences. Pretending to be upset doesn't cut it. [/QUOTE]
