Quote: Bullnorthern "In relation to the outbursts others find embarrassing I much prefer a coach and a man who speaks his mind rather than someone who speaks in bland non confrontational sound bites we hear from so many in our game.
I disagree with some of his opinions and selection choices. But I've disagreed with many selection choices of previous coaches at our club . That is in the DNA of any fan.
I have even disagreed with the doyen of contemporary coaches, Wayne Bennett , currently preparing for the Aussie Grand Final. There are plenty of examples of Bennett taking fans and media to task .
One of the hallmarks of a good coach is being his own man - call it opinionated stubborn , ruthless if you want.'"

Yeah can't remember Bennett offering to fight one of his teams fans behind the stand.
Wouldn't call Brian McDermott, Shaun Wayne, Paul Anderson bland and non confrontational but neither are they an embarrassment to there clubs.
I'm happy for Lowes to be his own man, just not in charge of my club.
