The fact he got sacked and knocked out at Souths and then came over here talking trash about defence, rubbishing other coaches and then have taken on a club legend like RF has not adhered him to all Tigers fans.
Even if you disagree with that you cant see why some Tigers fans cant stand him.
Mick Potter never had this crap written about him despite taking on RF. He had the support of i reckon about 75% of Tigers fans.
I wonder why? People saw him as a coach who didn't talk rubbish and stood for something.
People might disagree with me and thats fine, its just my take on it.
Potter had potential, but had the personality of Richie Cunningham. JT, like his mentor Brian Smith is ruthless. He might eventually be a sacrificial lamb, but i think the next coach will benefit from what he started. For the back half of this season you can't fault the sides attitude. We've showed better attitude over the last few months than we have in the last 5 years. Friday night was a write off, but overall we're heading in the right direction in that aspect.
Granted.
I think JT has done a decent job this year. I have said in countless thread i think he deserves another season.
But you wonder why some Tigers fans don't like him, and I am telling you why.
You can't dispute those things or at least you did not try to??
* He has not won a final in 6 years as a head coach
* He got sacked and knocked out by his own player at Souths
* He came in rubbishing our past coaches and promising to fix the defence
* He took a club legend in RF in a very ugly feud.
* He has finished 15th and around 10th in 2 years here.
You compare him to Brian Smith, maybe in style, but Brian Smith had runs on the board. Taylor does not as yet.
That is why some Tigers fans love getting stuck into him. They think who is this bloke talking smack, sacking our club legend, bagging our previous coaches, got knocked out at Souths, never won a semi final.
Im not saying it is nice or deserved but surely you can see why it happens ?!!?
