Coaching Box Drama

[kakaruk]

The way the team going at the moment i think the only thing that Smith will be handing us is a wooden spoon.

[Guest]

What is the current price we are paying for the spoon?

[hackthefortress]

Smith will get us a premiership and his contract shall be renewed

Brian?

On the contrary Ralph, I sit in Bay 13 and have seen many a coach from opposing teams copping a lot of abuse and funny smart arse remarks. The media box cops heaps of crap too, especially to the News journos.

I hope we never see Cronulla winning the comp in our lifetime. Unless you were there, never put your nuts in the vice for anybody.

Unless you were there, put out your torch. Im with you on the Cronulla point tho!

Brian?

Just a fan

I think he cops unfair criticism considering the point that he doesn't control recruitment.

If we had offloaded Anasta when he suggested perhaps we would be singing a different tune

My prob isnt with recruitment Jaggers. Its with game plan and stucture. We dont seem to have any at all.

We're $8 on Tabsports and $9 on Centrebet.

In attack I don't see this as an issue, however our defensive structure is of real concern. Could be attitude, could be the lack of structure but whatever it is they need to fix it quick.

Would like to see us go back to the compressed line and gang tackle that served us well on the past.

I have no issues with supporters providing Smith or any coach their opinion, but I'm not convinced that banging on the coach's boxes and verbally abusing him is the best way to get the message across. It might provide those supporters with short term satisfaction but that's about where the benefit ends.

None of us supporters are happy with how the season has turned out. And we all handle the disappointment differently. But in my experience no lasting benefit comes from abusing anyone, in any walk of life.

Every supporter has the right to be passionate, be forthright and state their opinion. No one can question that. But to do it in an abusive fashion only dilutes the message you are attempting to put across in my opinion.

But in the end, each to their own. We all have different standards we live by.


NC

You are spot on there NC, you have summed it up perfectly.I could add my 10 cents worth but you have just about covered it all with what you said.

That was a decade ago with a quality roster.

Is it surprising that supporters of the club want their voices heard.

They don't really get any other avenues.

The person they should really be yelling at is Nick.

Brian Smith does control recuitment in tandem with Perter O'Sullivan. Obviously, Politis also gets his say as well, usually with the bigger targets ie SBW.

Valid

Perhaps it is retention (Anasta) where his voice is silenced. Smith didnt want Anasta and unfortunately Anasta is now showing why.
