Trouble in the Chook pen - Rothfield

[Guest]

ROOSTERS coach Brian Smith is so close to losing his dressing room it's not funny.

And don't think this is just another bag Brian Smith yarn because we don't get on.

Hand on the Bible, I know of two senior players at Bondi Junction who want out.

They can't stand playing their football under Smith's highly regimented schoolteacher style.

I won't name them because it will only make their lives more uncomfortable and more difficult.

I do know they have both approached their managers about the situation.

Standby for further developments.





hate to think if he was right for once.. IF he is, which two players is it most likely to be?

Is this in regards to Tony the Wheel, aka Teabags, aka Tok being denied access to the chookpens Adults Only forum?????

The more i hear about this rumour the more i am starting to believe it!
This isnt the first time we have heard players having an issue with Smith,and just because it is re confirmed by Slothfield doesnt make it wrong.
The rumour is circulating and getting stronger,maybe Smith really is the problem!?

If it were to be true, with a bit of luck it's Mini and Braith.

But its the std rumour that comes out with Smith, sometimes it true sometimes its not.
apparently he has mellowed alot since the Parra days and you don't come off 4 good games with 2 senior players wanting out.

Unless the senior players were Carney and Myles

[Guest]

It would be good if it were mini and bwaiff, then its a win win situation; either they go or smith does

[chook 56]

Braith would have to be one. The body language between Smith & himself has been quite evident over the last few months.

[The Brain]

Why dont they report that bothe Saints and Balmain camps are blowing up because Moltzen wants out of his Saints contract/ . Or that Balmain are looking for a half back ?Players these days are a bunch of cry babies
I know Smith didnt want Carney ,Myles or Watts as of last december .He doesnt want Anasta
So I dont see why its all his fault his crystal ball is better than Politis's.

I was thinking Pearce myself.
I know he's young, but after a few years in grade he must be considered a senior player.
I get the feeling he couldn't give a farrk at times.

[bondi-boy]

Well Smiths' just going to have to get used to Anasta being 5/8 and captain.

The playing group wanted Carney gone...blamed him for all their failures..."our minds were screwed with by "Carney" and we couldn't concentrate in games a a result".
...so now it's time for them to aim up for 80 mins in every match and win all their home games as well as some away games.

No more excuses do they have...including blaming the coach.

[The Brain]

We will have a very good forward pack next year I am certain of that ...but the backs ? SKD should bounce back from his season long injury Perret is what I call the consummate winger.
Pearce should come into his own but has developed bad habits by been brought into first grade too early. First of all some one needs to teach him how top pass from right to left-he cant do it he turns around the other way and passes it because he can only do long passes from one side which is dead give away that the ball is going out the backs(in cut out style)
The rest dont do it for me .

[Guest]

Please let it be Braith and Mini,that would be the best news for our Club going forward!

Bringing Elliot in had more to do with Politis sending Smithy a message than anything else
