Honestly what do you expect CC to say.
Imagine him ripping into the team on TV we won’t have a squad lol.
Know what you're saying Villi but honestly a professional coach with a non performing team like this, certainly doesn't make special mention of Knockonbor's energy.

If we belive what Gus says n the medi the club has money to spend but only a few spots in top 30 - unless players like RFM, Sutton, Topine BBO Perham Hoffman etc are moved on - why waste a space on okunbor???
They are all of the same ilk and guarantee more of the same results.

Wendy… how does a 7ft giraffe get anywhere near first grade after his pathetic effort in Reggie’s a week ago when the Knights reserve grade team went past the Giraffe 3 times for 3 tries in the first half?
You'll have to ask the super coach.

Still with the perplexed "what just happened man" look on his face ...or....did he do his ballerina pirouette and escort them to the tryline?

He lost the room months ago my bro....
Would love to have this rumour verified or not, whatever are the facts.

If it's true and we are weeding out all those players who can't follow the system...then there's a full churn of the whole roster ...barring Okenbor, that's gonna get shopped?

Okunbur must be a real emotional dude or have mental health because of the way he hypes him every single press conference. Literally singles him out by name for praise its strange

I think he is genuinely trying to give these players confidence and belief in themselves.

You don't have to spray players to be a great coach, proof is Ivan Cleary. Very calm and level headed coach. Players need a spray every so often but it loses any meaning if it happens too often.

So does unwarranted praise.

Cleary doesn't need spray them. Even when they are "bad" they are still better than most teams.

If Oki is the kind of forward that CC publicly praises then we need to be prepared for many more years of ineptitude.

Yes it's very worrying and if he is saying those kind of foolish statements in his presser, then I guess we have to be prepared to face the fact that CC will ask Gus to re-sign him.
Surely knoconmore is gone!!

To be honest it's hard to take Ciraldo seriously when he plays Okunbur as often as he has and praises him when he's one of the worst culprits in defence all season. Also the way he singles out some and not others. If he wants to single out TPJ because he's leaving, well single out Reed, Burton and Kikau etc too..

Either say collectively we were horrible and not good enough and hammer them or single them all out. Or say nothing. Don't say our goal line defence was strong or this player was shocking but I won't talk about the other players who were also.

This type of stuff over a full season loses the dressing room because they've lost faith and trust in the coach.
