If the "information" came from an agent then it's someone like Sam Ayoub or Martin Tauber stirring the pot. Wouldn't worry about it. Johns is an idiot for passing it on.

Helped our playmakers out in 2005 and did a great job.
He's a bit of a TV [This word has been automatically removed] now… we're been easy pickings for him over the last 3 seasons given too much player power and unrest amongst the playing ranks.

They indeed may not have a close relationship but it really is irrelevant. Fact is Farah's game has improved under Potter and that's all that matters. They don't need to be best friends, just professionals.

No one is saying they have to. The question is whether Potter has the support of the players. Farah's reactions in pressers suggests not.
Question, if the players dont rate Potter, should he go?

If Potter did not have the support of the players, they sure as hell picked a funny way to show it yesterday.
No. The players should not be able to pick and choose the coach.

Interesting view. I have always believed that experienced footy players can tell if someone is a decent coach. They would certainly be in a better position to know than us fans. I would have thought.

I'm sure they know more than us, of course, but you have to take into account their motives. Look at Penrith. The players wanted Steve Georgallis as coach…

It's amazing what happens when a team losses a few, when a team wins not a word is said, not much will be said this week
A lot of this is very harsh on Matty Johns. He has given the Tigers tonnes of good press in the past.
You guys are just sensitive to the negative. Let's all be a little objective, considering the rubbish that has come out of club over the past three seasons we are fortunate that the press haven't labeled us a basket case.
He's a reporter, that SMS was news worthy, you all prove it by this thread.
Bird and Gallen are grubs for NSW. That said they do a good job for us. Matty Johns sharing the SMS is grubby, but he is doing a good job for his employer. I don't think it's over the line. The agent is way over the line.

Beat me to it Hybrid. ST is probably right that a professional player is probably more qualified to judge whom is a quality coach or not, but I'd wager they'll want someone who will let them have it more their way rather than the other way around.
Look at Melbourne, you never hear or see whispers of player revolt, because it is Bellamy's dressing room. If you believe the reports, Matt Lodge is in our ranks because he wasn't prepared to do it Bellamy's way.

It depends upon what the complaint is. If it is because he is not picking the particular player, then yes we should give it little credence. However, the concerns raised about Potter, assuming they are true, which is admittedly a big assumption, are about communication skills and education. If senior players think he is lacking in that area then I am prepared to accept there is some truth to it.

I just wonder if this is a set up between Farah and Johns
Wayne Bennett used to get a journalist in Brisbane (the late great Bob Bax ) to bag his side or particular players to get a reaction
Is Robbie doing the same ??
Robbie and Potter get all this stuff said in the media , knowing full well it is complete BS and fires the boys up when they are needing a extra big kick in the ass to perform
