Coaches now in off field Blow ups..

[maxta]

Who can it be now ??

An NRL coach is in hot water with his club after being man-handled by security guards in the toilets at the races last Saturday week.

The coach had a bad day on the punt - and a few too many beers - when a fellow patron accidentally bumped into him in the crowded toilets.

The man immediately apologised, but the coach would have none of it, screaming obscenities and wanting to resort to fisticuffs.


Only quick action from a couple of security guards prevented the incident developing into a brawl.

The club is aware of the incident but after some stern words to the coach, has chosen to sweep it under the carpet, much to the annoyance of one of the security staff involved.


"If that was a player, he would have been hauled over the coals, fined and publicly shamed," the security guard told me.

"The coach was arrogant and belligerent and even used the old, 'Don't you know who I am?' line when we escorted him out of the men's room and told him to cool it.

Surely the goose has to be named and penalised by the NRL !!


PSS @Chip and Chase .. do you think I should start a poll of which club he coaches at ??

 

[tookey]

Sounds like a real knob of a coach

Barrett likes a drink or three

 

[madmax]

Were the races in Sydney? Robinson, McGuire, Barrett, Morris, Cleary, Hasler, Griffin, Bennett, Arthur, O’Brien, Brown? I reckon Arthur, O’Brien, Barrett or Brown, however Tookey mentioned the word knob so possibly Arthur or Barrett......then again the biggest knobs are the Eels therefore must be Arthur lololol

 

[globaleagle]

Probably Bennett.

Looks like a thrower!

Roy that is entirely up to you, but we both know this was Brad Arthur, so the poll is kind of obsolete

Can V'landy also crack down hard on misbehaving coaches, or are they contracted differently?

They certainly can, just ask Shane Flanagan

They certainly can, just ask Shane Flanagan

Oh yeah...

duh @ me! sheesh.

though flanno seems to be going to get time off for... well nothing really.

 

[double hoops]

A coach who dosen't mind a day on the drink, a punt, would seem has a young side and someone who thinks the world should know who he is.

It all sounds a bit like a rep team bonding session really.

 

[47MVEagle]

Do we know if it was a head coach or just an assistant coach?

 

[castle eagle]

They certainly can, just ask Shane Flanagan

depends on what team the coach is involved with

 

[pjayz]

Wonder if he was 'blue steeling' during the incident?

 

[Highflier]

Be

Probably Bennett.

Looks like a thrower!

Bennett I doesn't drink, so include him out
Brown Arthur or Barrett

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

saw this... don't know if legit

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Really, O'Brien? Supposedly a wonder-coach in waiting, but sounds like the culture in Newcastle has got to him.
'Don't you know who I am', lol. Everyone will now

 

[globaleagle]

Ahh, the irony of Kent lamenting the half-truths that abound on social media when half-truths and total fabrications are the nrl 'journos' stock in trade.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

sticky.

 

[rj90]

'The Knights rejected claims of a cover-up, according to the News Corp report, saying they thought so little of the incident they did not believe it was worth making public.'
