The NRL Season of 2016
-
Awesome news, who's next to go?!?
-
<p>some funny comments on FB about this...Coach didn't like him...coach never gave him a chance...</p>
-
<p>I tried to get in but my horse couldn't make headway pasts the knights protecting the coach who has Bluey like results who's somehow avoided the broadsword chopping off his head. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ps: I've never rated Hurrell anyway, but there's much love from fans for Kata who's a younger, slightly trimmer, as stupid version of him, this I find bemusing.</p> -
<p>maybe because Kata has been our best player all year? </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>People aren't protecting the coach, people are sick of the coach being replaced and there being no apparent improvement in quality. </p> -

<p>Instead of (for a change at the Warriors) sticking it to the regular bunch of coach killing losers - a handful of whom even thought mixing red bull with sleeping pills was a bright idea mid season...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Because until that happens, I don't see too many "proper" NRL coaches going near the place :(</p> -

<p>It's the same thing. People are having a go at the players for being unprofessional yet the club is unprofessional by selecting a coach who clearly isn't up to the job.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Furthermore there are people who were calling for Bluey's head who are now in the don't replace the coach club. It's like I've swapped bodies with some out there. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd prefer the Warriors don't go through a cycle of replacing the coach but it's as clear as mud that the coach is a donkey, "he's lost the dressing room" same as Bluey, and this after a Bluey-like season last year. What positives are there in keeping the coach on? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for Kata, his flaws are being overlooked and excused due to his hard running style. For some reason a club in turmoil turns Kata and Ayshford into it's best players (until the recent match for Blake).</p> -

<p>The players get beaten with the stick all the time at the Warrior (aside from in the Auckland media). I was sticking the boot into the players for a long time last year (especially at the live games I went to) but after a while you realise it's systemic and the guy at the top drives those systems. </p> -
<p>Get over it Nepia, Bluey was a shit club coach.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Look, i think the coach is shit. I think the coach needs to go. But before he gets the arse, i want to know who is taking over. It can't be internal, because they are tainted already. Who is the upgrade? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>"losing the dressing room" is bullshit speak for players not trying. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kata is very limited. But he puts in, and he's being effective. Those are not words you can use to describe a large portion of the squad. And certainly not words you could use for Hurrell for the vast majority of his "career" </p> -

<p>so we have had 4 or 5 dud coaches in a row?</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Amen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The coach might be Basil Fawlty, but if that's their excuse for phoning it in and barely defending week after week, then that's soft.</p> -
The two are not mutually exclusive. Incompetent coach + unprofessional players = recipe for disaster.

<p>FFS, I didn't invent the term - it was used by the anti Bluey brigade to knock him down a peg.</p>

<p>Cappy is a shit club coach. Why do you want me to get over one but not the other?</p> -

<p>They're not, but thankfully Jim Doyle is at least diverting from the "shit results only means a shit coach" mantra of some fans and previous Warriors administrators...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In recent years I've wondered if even Wayne Bennett/Craig Bellamy could sort some of this lot out.</p> -

I read this a few days ago about Bellamy's pre season. I reckon he'd "lose the dressing room" pretty quickly at the Warriors if he made them train like that -

Both - when was the last time we had a good coach?<br><br>
It's fine to say "drop all the players". But then you have to replace them. Easier said then done. -
<p>how do you know they havent had a good coach but the deep seated issues at the club havent ruined his career and made him look bad?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Artent they doing an independant review at present, hopefully this will highlight the issues.</p> -

<p>I don't, but you keep bringing Bluey up like he's relevant in some way, or was hard done by. He wasn't, and he's not relevant, except as another example of a failed appointment. Did we get better when he left?</p>
