The Official "RFC Coaching Position" Discussion Thread

Yeah just found it myself T74.

Anyone heard anything reported on the radio?

Complete BS if you ask me though.

tend to agree. I don't have Knights on the pedestal some do around here, but I don't get him as the type who would dump out of a contract, especially if his side is progressing.

my money is on bomber fans still miffed at having knights there putting this up

Funny how the negative questions / comments always come out after losing a game. The Bummers have performed well this season but they still have that 'niggling doubt' about Knighter as a true successor.

All this started from On the Couch when Hird was attacked with ludicrous questions about Knighta & the players not getting on. It certainly doesn't show on the field.

You're overlooking Hardwick due to an incident that occurred in a Grand Final when he played? Thank god you have nothing to do with selecting a coach. It's not a popularity contest mate. Very strange indeed.

total BS
 
If today's effort against Melbourne is any indication then Jade is not the answer.

Game plan was crap, choosing McMahon over Collins/Connors/Rance is a joke.

Delivery into the forward line was garbage, as was kicking at goal.

Bring on a hard nut like Hardwick please Mr Process.

Well TJ Collins and Connors are injured.
 
At one stage today I thought we were trying to tank but then we must have realised its a few rounds too late to be doing that.

Agree.

Another thing, reading newspaper articles about how our players 'endorse' Jade and how they respect him and how they they think he is a good communicater and takes them aside individually makes me *smiling* sick in the guts.

Hear hear. The players need to shut the *smile* up and work on improving their brand of football to a level that is somewhere slightly above the average country football league. That would be a nice start. They have no place endorsing or recommending coaches.

I know Rance isn't. But the other 2 are so why mention them?

Your right WT maybe they shouldn't have been mentioned but, as was the case under Mr Solarium, McMahon continually gets called up when he is not the future.

He continually turned the ball over today, missed 2 very easy shots and yes he kicked the winning goal but that didn't make up for all his previous mistakes.

The demon's forwards would monster him every time he got the ball and caused him to make mistakes or get caught with the ball, all the hard work done by the other defenders was consequently undone.

He is playing because Jade wants him to.

Big Mistake!
 
I've got a bad feeling the Giesch effect is in full effect.

I don't think Rawlings will be a bad coach but he'll be a middle of the road one.

We can do a hell of a lot better than Rawlings.

Do you think Jade does take part in team selection now?

It was in reference to Jordan playing Rosy.

You sure have a bee in your bonnet regarding that. ::)

Jade made the statement. If you didn't hear it stiff. Other people who post on this site did.

If Jade does and always has taken part in team selection well he lied!
