Quote: WIZEB "Never mind Glasby mate, what did Cam Smith have to say when you and him chewed the cud over a Macca D's?'"


I met Mal Maninga and chatted with him after a
England v Aus match in Melbourne
They were doing a warm down drill the next morning
with Adrian Lam running it.
They were catching funny shaped small objects in a circle.
Hand eye drill.

Anyways Mal said he’d heard of my work as a Youth
Coach and that I was in Aus.
He was surprised I had turned down the offer to run
hull kr Youth- which is true !!!

I chatted to Cam there as well and reminded him of our long chat
In Macca’s where I implored him to sign for FC.
Cam couldn’t remember- true !

I met Craig Bellamy twice and he’s an intense guy.
We sponsored Storm so he came to our work twice in the 4 years as I was HOSTPLUS.

Tim Glasby played SoO simply because he played for Storm
Otherwise a typical workhorse type of player.
He worked with me as a trainee financial adviser.

He said I was a ‘David Brent’ style of manager.

I’ve been to see Storm train a few times and last year
I had 2 meetings about looking to coach at Storm with
The U16s. I went down and watched match at Pakenham.

I decided family time and golf was more important after a
long think.

So there you have it.

I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_8082.jpg

Quote: Roam Ranger "Might also be doing players some good knowing that spots are up for grabs in the team. With hooker for example, for the longest time that was Danny H's spot and the best you could hope for was to be his backup. Now there's a genuine opportunity for a player like Balmforth to claim a starting shirt in that position.'"


That’s a fair point indeed RR. It does seem as though the wind of change has certainly blown through and the players have got on board with a completely refreshed setup and attitude.

Interesting comments from Abdul to about the conversations the players had with JC at the end of the season and the message he gave them all has had an impact.

An improvement in our fitness next season is essential, not just in keeping 13 on the pitch all game, but also stability.

Just checked back and last season in the Centres, Carlos and Sutty only started 5 games together. Coupled with our rotating/weaker 6/7 combinations, it shows that if we can keep our new signings on the park our back division should be performing significantly better next season.

Quote: Dave K. "Need to get Balmforth tied up, think he could be a sensation this year. Very positive first season, much fitter and playing with better players.'"


Also playing for a coach who rates him,who will have a word in quiet with him and not slag him off in the press like someone else did.

I can hopefully now assume we will be fit and strong
The new facilities and professionalism will be worth an extra 2 points a game I’m sure !
So if we are on a level playing field and matching £ for £ on the salary cap and inc Marquis players then how do we finish Top 5 let’s say ?

The emphasis now must switch from talking about fitness/physio/facilities/culture and move to GAME TACTICS/PLAY

How good are JC and AL at building a game plan?
I don’t count Grix as he couldn’t coach a game plan into Skirlaugh Under 5s

How will we attack ? We couldn’t score in the proverbial brothel last season.
We looked truly awful and inept.
Devoid of ideas.

How do these players turn all that around ? Can they ?

That’s my thoughts heading into pre season going forward

We were atrocious in the opposition 10/20 last year. Abdull and Sezer alone will help that
