| Quote WireWireWire="WireWireWire"In the best case scenario he does well and pee's off to a HC role in the NRL in a couple years. So do we not want to be great for the next decade? Seems we're happy to be just good for 2. Short sighted appointment.'" 2 years was enough for Holbrook to start the 'dynasty' rolling at Stains. They've not looked back much since.
Seriously though - did you play Blakey in On the Buses? |

Anyone seen any player reactions on Social Media? The emotional response (positive and negative) from us fans is wholly predictable. I'd like to know how the senior players are feeling about the appointment.

| Quote easyWire="easyWire"Taking a left-field view:
During the second world war, there was a requirement to get certain missions accomplished quickly using revolutionary methods. What they did was to put together a unit of young, apparently ill-suited persons, all of whom had little experience but plenty of bad history on their records.
However, what these young men did have was specific skills and the right mindset for the missions they had been tasked with. Some of which were said to be unachievable based on the standard at the time. Turns out it did work, against all odds, and they became the SAS.
Since we've tried the standard route and failed many times, I'll back the mish-mash of oddities and watch with interest. They could become folk heroes if they pull it off. Nothing to lose, especially since there are no proven alternatives on the market. If Tony Smith couldn't do it for us with[i that[/i squad in '10-'13, I don't think any traditional coach on the current market could.
Who dares wins!

In your first two paragraphs, if you substitute the words [i Second World War[/i for [i Vietnam [/i, I had the theme tune to The A-Team going round in my head.

That's why I put the SAS answer in there. I was thinking of the opening titles to the A-Team as I was writing that out 
On a positive note, when did the A-Team ever lose? |

As fans we have 2 choices - go and watch the club, whoever is the coach, and give them our support.....
....or stay at home and fume because we haven't recruited the love child of Wayne Bennett/Sean Wane (Wayne Wane??) who doesn't exist.
I'll see you at the HJ

He sounds like a pretty determined character.
Now if his goal is to go straight back to the NRL in a head coaches role then good luck to him.
There are not many coaches that walk straight into a head coaches job in the NRL unless they have won a grand final over here.
There are only a couple I can think of over the last 20 years - Mick potter and Trent Robinson
There is a big list of Super League coaches that didn't win a grand final that went back as assistant or drifted off into obscurity (Price, Hodgson, Woolford, Morgan, etc etc.)
So if an NRL head coaches role is what he is after then he knows what he has to do. And apart from the RU experiment he has gone and done what he set out to do.
I am on board but it doesn't matter if the fans are. It matters if the players are.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a promotional video nearer to season ticket time featuring Big Sam ,the Starlights & Wizzy Rascal sailing down an airbrushed Mersey at Warrington Bridge..
A Karl production to equal anything by Cecil B. De Mille.

| Quote easyWire="easyWire"The alternative was a guy who choked in two semis and has just been let go from a poorly performing NRL team. And he turned us down anyway.
Since no one of any repute is likely to be available for some time, who do we go with? May as well look on the bright side. Have a watch of the two documentaries and you'll see why he may bring something different that we've been missing.'"
I watched one. Non of it means he'll be a good coach. Judging by his whole ethos, he was only able to get his team to buy into it for one year over the course of his entire career. Not a good return. |
