Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2414310, member: 2115"] when he retired he said he had no interest in coaching at all, so dont shoot the messenger. now, when asked, he has said that IN 4 YEARS TIME if he feels he is up to it he MIGHT give it a shot at coaching QUEENSLAND - not an NRL team. I dont lack character at all - i wasnt wrong in the first place, i was just quoting what the man himself said. if you say "3+3 = 109" and i then say to someone "Beads said that 3+3=109", I'm not wrong. youre wrong. i was simply quoting you. heres another link where he said he wasnt interested: [url]http://www.triplem.com.au/sydney/sport/nrl/news/blog/darren-lockyer-to-coach-the-broncos/20110329-bu84.html[/url] "Interestingly, Monday Night Football hosts Joey Johns and Peter Sterling raised it with Lockyer: After the year off, would you consider coaching? His response: "I have no desire to get involved with that. As I said, I just want to take 12 months off and I guess evaluate where everything is"." so am I wrong for taking his answer of "I have no desire to get involved with that" when asked "would you consider coaching?" as meaning that he in fact has no desire to coach? or is it that hes just changed his mind? Nashy, if you actually read your link, nowhere does he actually say he wants to coach the broncos. read it again. here are HIS quotes - not things made by the journalist: "It [coaching] is one of those things that I feel like I have got something to offer," "I am a Bronco and I would never change that ... I wouldn't see myself coaching another NRL club. -note that saying he wouldnt coach another club isnt the same as saying he will coach this club. "I'm sure if Wayne Bennett was to throw his hat in the ring for the Broncos job in 2012, it would be a game man to bet against him. - he mentioned 2012...why would he mention that as there was literally no way he wouldve applied to be our coach the year after he retires? "As an aspiring coach, working for Wayne Bennett is probably the best apprenticeship that you can do." - im sure thats true - but where in that did he say that he wants to do an apprenticeship under bennett? "Sitting beside him in his office and talking about how to manage players would be a valuable lesson for me," - im sure it would, just like sitting in Gillards office and talking about how to (attempt to) run a government would be a valuable lesson. doesnt mean he wants to be PM just cause it would be valuable. "Knowing the tactics of the game and how to win is one thing, but it's also how to manage men that is probably more important. I'm excited with that sort of stuff. Wayne Bennett's record speaks for itself, and any aspiring coach would have to be excited to work with Wayne." - again, nowhere does he actually say that he wants to coach. any up and coming coach would be excited to work with bennett - again, doesnt say that he wants to do it. "You would love to be on his assistant coaching staff, learning the trade from him." - again with the generalizations. "To be sure that is what I want to do, I think I just need a bit of time away when I finish playing, just to make sure I really miss the game. " - well that certainly doesnt strike me as "I want to coach the broncos", how about you? "If I come back into that sort of role, I want to put my toe in the water to see if I like it and see if it likes me." - which goes back to his other quotes of being an adviser with the team to see if he even wants to have anything to do with coaching. dont read between the lines - just read the actual lines.
