It's obvious that JT has no hope of getting through to them, whether that's because of the players or because of Taylors uninspiring personality, I don't know, but in all the time he's been here, I can't remember any one really inspiring interview that he's had.
It's always blaming others, making excuses and Trying to make a cow pat resemble a diamond. His selections have confused most here(at least until TT shone a bit of light on who has Entrenched themselves as JTs favourites, and why.
My opinion ( and that's all it is) is that this season has flew the coop already. Not because of a few losses, but because of the WAY that we lost. There has been NO improvement in this team at all. Spin it as much as you want, we're still a cow pat.
Leaving him in charge of this team just does more damage to the club and their chances of attracting any players.
We have the chance between now and the start of next season to start from scratch, as hardly anyone is signed past then. We do need to pay more than other clubs to convince anyone to come here.
Get rid of him now before we get any worse and install a caretaker coach until the end of this season. Then don't just accept someone's computer presentation for the job
Get the best bloke available have a word to Harry or Brydens , anyone and pay what we need to get a proven Coach. That should be our priority !!!!!!!!
As for the interim coach I don't care who it is, getPayten if we have too, (l couldn't care less if he white anted Potter or not, )at least well see if he can coach or not.
Make it clear he's an interim coach, but if he can get this rabble on track then keep him if not , he was only hired for the rest of this year anyway.
We can't afford to have JT run this club dawn any further. We're just about rock bottom
Now.
He has no ability to get through to this team .
Unfortunately we have no choice to keep the halves ( if that's what they decide ). at a grossly inflated value for next year( thanks to some dumb twit who signed their contracts with an option in their favour), but we can get rid of a lot of the once a month performers and replace them with some players who want to put in a genuine effort.
We're not going to be top four prospects for a long while , but surely we can find some players who will put in an effort every week
Or we can sit back and accept the garbage that this club is renowned for.
Well that is a rant and a half.
2 points. I dispute that Taylor has been blaming others all the time - he did say he inherited a basket case. Was he wrong? and he mentioned for the first time after this game that some of the players need to toughen up and have a good look at themselves. Wouldn't say that rave wasn't overdue, would you?
I fail to see how Teddy, Nofo, Kev, Moses, Grant, Woods, Farah and Lawrence at least do not put in every week and that is nearly half the team.
Understand when people get wound up they blame everybody in sight but I think there are some that need to be excluded. Maybe the others need to be put on notice but apart from Milone I thought they all put in - whether they are good enough is another question.
As for an interim coach - would they be any better? How long for them to get the hang of the team? Until the end of the season maybe. Would they have the same restrictions as JT? Would they be a white anter? (May not matter to you but it matters to a lot of others - Potter is twice the man as the white anters). Payton, you would be joking! Although I am sure O'Neill would be up for starting the Boys club again.
Further points on Taylor - did we hire him because he should be good at press conferences, eloquent, say player A is hopeless, our game plan was pitiful and we should not have targeted player Z in the opposition etc.
No we did not.
What we did wrong, what we should have done, player D, X and B skyrocket to them etc. Save that for the boys at training ( is this not happening, does anyone know for a fact) where it should be said, not to the press to appease a few disgruntled fans.
Some are saying he should have got stuck into the referees - possibly he should but who is going to pay the $10,000 fine - not them I'll bet.
You make some good points GCT but are wide of the mark in others - imo of course.
I don't expect that everyone agrees with me. Russ
But you have agreed that only half put in a complete effort every week, I'd agree with that and would only disagree about Moses, II wouldn't keep him at 600,000, but if no one buys him that's what we are stuck with.
The interim coach is purely to get through the year and try and minimise the damage that's been caused. Hopefully he might be able to stop the slide, if not he's gone at the end of the year anyway
The main thing is that the team needs to get away from the Favourites rule system that is JTs method of operating
I don't care if he got into the Refs or not. That's a small part of our problems
Yes he did inherit a basket case, but so has every Coach since Sheens. The hard facts are that neither of those Coaches made any difference, and no other coach on training wheels will either .
Its not going to be easy to change this club , but until hey start we'l stay the same. And it
Starts at the Coach.
