Interesting Potter and Blair comments.
- Thread starter king_sirro
- Start date
Compelling argument you put forth there.

you're right that no current player would say negative things about potter. but they do NOT have to say anything positive. simona could have praised any number of things that contributed to his 2013 form but he specifically chose the change in coaches. and hey, maybe it's to get in potter's good books but i honestly dont think mick gives a crap what simona says to wests tigers TV.

What was/is Sheens?
Re bodene… This is what any coach wants to see...
A guy who is on the edge of making the side( not guaranteed) busting his guts, trying to make the team and improve.
That's the attitude any coach would love to see.
If he deserves a spot I have no problem with that.
If his form or attitude do not warrant a spot, then he should not be selected.
Remember that he was injured for much of last year, and returned early due to injury concerns... So wasn't really at full fitness for most of the year.
With the depth we have now. If he doesn't perform, he won't be there. Nothing to worry about!

I agree 100%, form is a massive factor.
Whoever is in the best 17 should play.
Regardless of rep etc, if form doesn't produce what's required, then they should be dropped.
If he's fit, playing well… I have no probs.
If not, bye bye

Let's remember Potter had the balls to drop Marshall so no doubt he will assess and review the current playing roster adequately. At a Potter has got rid of our dead wood and brought the finest talent into first grade. He has a whole new coaching staff on board and you piss ants still want to complain. Let the man do his job and judge on performance, worrying about something that you haven't seen nor have control over really defines who you whinges are

Ticker is not a word I would use to describe Bodene.
Lazy bum more like it. Shouldn't be anywhere near the first 13 IMO.

I wouldn't say easy going? Esp with his quote of not coming here to make friends.
I reckon he is more of a planner, nice guy, not intense at all and a little bit authoritarian on the young guys. IMO the key is to absorb one of those types depending on who you are dealing with.
The reason IMO potter wasn't able to extract the best out of Benji is that he was maybe more authoritative over him rather than being friendly. Not that it was easy being friendly with a guy with a lot of ego from what I can tell..

We've seen players come to the fore under Potter's stewardship. Blair has been performing better (still not worthy of his pay cheque,) Simona finally got the chance he was waiting on, Nofoaluma and Tedesco have come along and our recruitment for this year is depth based. If our forwards hold their own and allow Brooks to lay a platform this year could be anything.
This is year zero for Potter as far as I'm concerned. He had an opportunity to remove any of the deadwood he inherited from Sheens and he took it. This years' results will dictate how Potter fares as coach.

Ha this thread has some flair about it.! Been quiet around here for a while, but some good Tigers media releases and a sniff of trials footy once again has opinions abounding.
I Like CB and Palms posts. I don't understand the Potter bashing.
For mine, I think he's a strategist and he's making the right decisions both in terms of coaching and selections within the limits that have been imposed by the current, and recent past, club structure & finances.
Some are expressing views that 'the team don't like him'. So what. I don't know of any coaching rules staying he has to be liked. What is important is that his decisions are respected. I think we have seen from the previous situation what happens when players like the coach and vice versa.
It appears that some people take his quiet public persona as representing lack of leadership or motivation. I don't see it that way at all. He thinks his way through his public appearances instead of coming across as a lunatic rabid dog as do some other notable coaches. Publicly, the coach he most reminds me of is Wayne Bennett & I don't see that as a bad thing.
He has my vote & I'm prepared to give him the time he needs.
