Brumbies vs Lions @ Canberra - 2011R13

[louie]

nothing to say about this year. You have rugby league coach trying to play rugby union. Starting to think friends biggest mistake was hiring this guy to start with.

 

[Gagger]

You're still blaming the coach?

You are kidding right.... funniest post of the year.

Being a Brumbies man for a long time, I doubt he is happy. But I bet he feels vindicated.

Can't believe I stayed home to watch that... poor effort. Full credit to the lions though.

Hopefully we can avoid the spoon, only thing keeping us off the foot of the table is that we've had our second bye already.

For those with Fox Sports news, watch the 11pm edition for one of the best sprays you'll ever hear from any coach in any code...

what he say BJ? (don't have fox)...

First, I'll get the injury news out of the way.

Ma'afu = broken arm
Edmonds = going for MRI on ankle
McCabe = Also going for MRI on his injured neck/shoulder

Now on to Tony Rea...
He has given a spray to all and sundry within the Brumbies, the players especially. He also had a thinly veiled go at management. He says that players get confused with what hard work is and this has been since day 1 of pre-season.
He then said that he thought the team stood no chance in the remaining 5 games and that decision making from some was non-existent and that when pressure is applied, they just crumble.

Wow - good on him for that. What odds they finish the season with Larkham/Harrison/Caputo as the coaches. Guess he figured there is no longer any need to toe the corporate line!! Bloody Fox has geolocation running on IP addresses so can't access video from here

Wow. What an idictement of the current Brumbies players. Their own coach says that they aren't prepared to work hard enough on and off the field and they lack heart.

 

[louie]

he's andy friends man through and through.

 

[kiap]

Good on the bloke for saying it like it is.

 

[matty_k]

Not just the players but the club on the whole as well.

 

[I like to watch]

That was incredible, how can he continue coaching them after that?
Gits was hardly supportive of the playing group either.
That surely is rock bottom, isnt it?

 

[louie]

He could be talking about australia rugby as a whole.

I've never, ever heard anything like that from a coach during a post-game interview. Although perhaps the fact that he knows he has already been replaced for 2012 has allowed him the freedom to express himself honestly?
