The Rumour that we hear everywhere

[Brookie1973]

What team, let alone individual, goes out and plays like $hit just to spite the coach and his tactical approach… jeopardising their own reputation, let alone the financial fallout from future contract negotiations… Are we to believe the Urbros would do that to this club that they love so much?… pleasseee!

The Broncos when Seibold was coaching there?

If you believe the players at the donkeys also sabotaged their own performance then I’ve got nothing to add 🤷‍♂️

Coaches lose the dressing room all the time, in all sports. Not sure sabotage is the right word, but not playing for the coach amounts to the same thing.

Losing the dressing room is plausible, but quite different to suggesting a player (or team) go out and purposely play badly to undermine the coach. Same result is possible, but they are greatly different. The player may chose to ignore a coach’s instruction if he has lost the dressing room, but no way he purposely plays badly.

…. Well that’s pretty dumb! Everyone knows that it is right next to the toilet block!

… ok I’ll let myself out!

The players could be correct with their respective views however what is most alarming is this seasons individual performances on the field of the senior players, their performances have seen them not selected for state of origin or dropped after one appearance due to a poor performance.

I could get on board with this view if the players were performing on the field, these individuals should have their entire focus on their performances and the teams performance on the field and their voices would carry more merit.

But don’t you think the reason for their poor performances could be the coaching, hence their view?

Do we believe it’s true?

I must admit I’ve always given it credence.

Been floating around a long time. The no Seibold at DCE’s wedding. Everyone brushed that off, but there’s serious truth to that. They don’t like each other.

Could be, but as you know highly talented representative players don’t need as much coaching as the not so experienced players.

For me the senior players have let themselves and the club down this season with their on field form and efforts, look at the two most highly paid players defensive efforts over the last month.

I dont know the situation.

But i would have though watching the last 5 years of results as fans, we would want to hear that the coach and player group is at odds somewhat. What sucks is giving it air.

We need to change a lot and change always brings emotion

TBH another matey matey coach that sucks up to the player group is not what we meed. TRUTH hurt the mediocre

Agree! Although DCE not so sure…..
