Corey Parker was calling for Sheens to step in on 360. Called him the deepest thinking coach he had. Compared him to Wayne. Big wraps.

Sheens got the arse due to players so he might be taking the coaches side.

Too smart to take on this group.

100 percent

Most those guys from the aus squad say the same thing.

Storm players?

 

[GCfan]

A club that wins more games than it looses?

So any club that doesn’t win has a bad cutlure? I swear this term has taken over as the new C word for mine.

I feel Flanagan has learnt his lesson, time out of the game would have hurt. He strikes me as having a lot more rapport with the players than Madge.
I still think Madge has more to offer though, it's just how the players respond.

Agree.. I like Madge but clearly the players don't as they keep saying they do but never deliver to take pressure off him..
I think if we got Flanagan he would help attract better players and would have a lot of media behind him which equals positive articles

Do u think he'd work well with sheens though?

Surely they have more to play for than their old battling coach. Family, career, rep footy, financial, pride?

Mate they are just a pretty ordinary squad.

I’m up for any coach who can attract good first grade players.

Can you name a club that loses more than it wins that is publically praised for its culture? I can't. Winning is good culture, losing is bad culture. No matter what happens off the field. Look at Storm as Exhibit A.
Kent on 360 last week even praised Storm for their 'absolute honesty'😂. Since when?

An interesting insight into Madge's Kiwi recruitment strategy. I found this when Googling info on Jersey Flegg centre Sam Kamu.

Aotearoa Kiwis Coach Michael Maguire Strikes Again As Wests Tigers Coach — The Niche Cache

Wests Tigers have signed Auckland's Starford To'a (Mt Wellington Warriors) from Newcastle Knights for an immediate move, which falls in line with a bunch of other Kiwi-NRL recruitment moves from Aotearoa Kiwis coach Michael Maguire.

Probably a discussion for another day but I think people are comparing footy culture and business culture. These are different animals.

Footy is a business though now. When that happened the game as a whole turned to shit IMO.

how does a company score its KPI culture index.a bbq .laugh

It’s a business but at the end of the day it’s still much more than that. Not many employees put their body on the line for each other like rugby league players. There are some real heavy emotions going on inside the walls. It’s not like passing Fred in the tea room and having a chat. It is a brotherhood and I don’t think that many businesses would be dealing with the same bonds.

Going fully professional has buggered up many sports and even more players

Interesting indeed.
Not all of these have turned into great talents, though maybe a bit of time on their side.
I wonder if our halfback next year will be Kodi Nikorima or CHT?

100%

But Fred more than likely isn't on $600k a year either. If the players at least attempted to earn their massive money- and the respect of their teammates, coach and fans, then there'd be not too many problems within our club.
