You asked me a question about Jackson and I answered it.

I’ve made no mention of Jackson nor asked a question about him that I recall? Can you link the quote you refer to?

Could you be confusing me with someone else?

 

[silverelvis69]

Kid cares!! Outstanding
Reminded everybody this is not acceptablr

 

[Flanagun]

What the fuck are you talking about?

Think I misread your comment.

What’s hot you so cranky today, gramps? Fish not biting today? I got a few nibbles.

 

[Flanagun]

You and utility half should start your own forum, you’re on the same wavelength and your both dribblers.

Is this your new thing? Pretending to be an idiot by dismissing rational comments as dribble? Odd approach, but ok….

 

[Flanagun]

Preach

Your fly is undone

 

[maroondog72]

Is this your new thing? Pretending to be an idiot by dismissing rational comments as dribble? Odd approach, but ok….

I dismissed your comment because you didn’t read or comprehend my quote before you replied……..because you’re a fucking dribbler. Difficult to make a rational comment when you don’t even comprehend what you’re commenting about, but this isn’t a new approach for you it’s standard practice.

I already acknowledged I misread your comment…. Happens to the best of us. It appears to have happened to you on this very thread, if your claim another member said something he didn’t is anything to go by.

Why are you such an angry person? No need to go around calling people dribblers just because you disagree with them. I have proven beyond a shadow of doubt that I am not a dribbler but being right about Elliott.

Wipe your chin.

 

[Chris Harding]

Absolutely, love that passion and telling these idiots it's not acceptable to lose. This is how you start to change the culture

Thought that was the coach's role. What was Barrett telling them?

Thought that was the coach's role. What was Barrett telling them?

"Hey guys I reckon I feel like we need a change up of the gameplan ....someone get me a chai latte instead today will ya."

 

[The DoggFather]

Thought that was the coach's role. What was Barrett telling them?

Don't know what he told them but I'm guessing what Potter first told them was to forget every word Baz said.

 

[Yougra]

Who knows what Barrett was or wasn't telling them....it sure didn't work

I just like the fact that the kid gives a damn

 

[albatross]

Don't know what he told them but I'm guessing what Potter first told them was to forget every word Baz said.

I reckon Baz and Pay's first words were 'remember every word Des said'.

 

[Flanagun]

Wipe your chin.

Nice comment….aggressive, yet somehow restrained.

Jacob Kiraz, Corey Allen verbal altercation that ignited Bulldogs, NRL, Mick Potter | Daily Telegraph
Joe Maddon was manager of the California Angels until very recently, when he suffered an acute case of career homicide.

His crime was 12 straight losses.

As everybody who follows professional sport knows, or even school sport the way some parents rally together on Saturday mornings, usually with pitchforks and torches, any kind of loss stacked onto a loss puts a coach in mortal danger of unemployment.

Just last week the NRL went through its own walk down death row when Michael Maguire and Nathan Brown were sacked as head coaches, which came a month after Trent Barrett was manoeuvred out of the Bulldogs, the Dogs still comically claiming Barrett resigned.

Unfortunately, the coaching changes had little immediate impact.

After getting the job last week the Tigers incoming coach, Brett Kimmorley, stated several times that he wanted to bring to the club, in terms of change, was “fun”.

On the day he got the job he was asked if he woke up thinking he would be the new head coach and he went on a run where he answered every impending question at once, at one point saying, “I’ve got to gain their trust, obviously, but I want to create a fun environment.”

A couple days later, Kimmorley was enjoying this coaching caper as much as he said he was.

“I think coaching should be fun,” he said on SEN.

Then before Sunday’s game against Manly he was asked what he was hoping for from his team.

“Fun,” he said. “Make it enjoyable.”

Clearly the question now for Kimmorley, after Manly beat his Tigers 30-4, is how much more of this kind of fun can he stand?

Similarly, Stacey Jones was trying to create his own path when he took the reins at the Warriors.

For about 10 minutes it looked an inspired choice.

The Warriors began like a weight was lifted from their impressive shoulders, which is usually how they play their best football.

But then the same old bad habits soon began to appear and it became obvious Jones was experiencing the same kind of fun Kimmorley had experienced hours earlier.

If there is good news for Kimmorley and Jones, though, it is in the form of Bulldogs interim coach Mick Potter, who Monday showed the value of patience in the new job.

What Potter has done to reinvigorate the Bulldogs is being watched with keen interest.

It might not be one for the textbooks, though.

Perhaps the strongest boost for Potter’s coaching came after the Bulldogs’ round 13 loss to Penrith when the players sat around the dressing room after the game, lollygagging around, quite comfortable with the defeat, and young winger Jacob Kiraz decided he heard enough.

Kiraz, clearly not from the Kimmorley school of thinking, and in just his third NRL game, let Corey Allan know exactly what he thought of his casual acceptance of a loss and the two had a healthy altercation, of the verbal kind, in the dressing room.

The altercation was a wake-up call for some of the senior players at the club who had also grown comfortable with acceptable defeats.

By the following Monday their attitude was energised enough to attack Parramatta from the beginning, with the likes of Tevita Pangai Jr and Paul Vaughan leading the way.

Few even predicted a win, let alone the margin.

Yet Potter found his players a style they enjoyed which revived memories of the lost recipe the club is looking for, the Bulldogs Way.

They were aggressive in attack and industrious with the ball, breaking away from the tired structures that infect too many struggling teams.

The Dogs had their share of luck, but they ran with it.

Coaches are sacked for two simple reasons.

The first is the club has realised it needs a circuit breaker to arrest a terminal losing streak.

Secondly, it is much cheaper, and quicker, to replace one coach than it is to replace non-performing players.

And while changing the coach is often the preferred circuit breaker, over the year the smart coaches have recognised this and got in early, finding novel ways to change the routine to lift the mood, from compulsory lunches every Monday at the local to games night at training.

Over in the US last week Maddon, then the Angels manager, came up with perhaps the most novel idea to turn his team’s fortunes.

After the 12th loss he cut his hair into a mohawk in a bid, he said, to “awaken his team”.

Alas, it did no good.

Before Maddon got the chance to head into practice and awaken the team with his fast haircut Angels general manager Perry Minasian visited Maddon at his home, where he sacked him.

Maddon, 68, was left with no job and a bad haircut.

It wasn’t fun.

Good on kiraz.too many of the flogs we have bought it don’t give a rats about us losing or winning.he is passionate and hates losing.
Maybe Jackson needs to rip into the players that make stupid mistakes like graham use to.

Jackson doesn't even dispute referring decisions. What makes you think he will rip into the players??
