Love this. Absolutely a breath of fresh air. In a world of show boating players who are there to get paid., be a Kiraz !
So true!
From the original post:
"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."
This attitude from Allan (and a lot of other Bulldogs players) really p**ses me off. The scary part is that a lot of us here on the Kennel (including me) had formed the view that many of the players were OK with / not worried about losing all the time. If this article is true - we were actually correct.
I'm disgusted by Corey Allan and I wonder exactly what he said to set Kiraz off ... something like "another week, another loss" and then had a laugh about it.
And I wonder exactly what there was for Allan to say in reply to Kiraz? Did he try to defend his right to be OK with losing all the time?
Allan and any others like him are not needed at our club and can immediately f*ck off.
Good on Kiraz and how shameful that a 3 game rookie had to set an older and much more senior player straight.
