Competent 5/8 Trump's all else?
What's The Donald got to do with the Reds shitty season?
Competent 5/8 Trump's all else?
Mayhap. But aside from calling him prickly, which I think is a fair call, how have I assassinated his character? I made no value judgment on the conflict between coach and player. People are allowed to disagree on issues and I'm sure we've all worked with someone we can't stand and relate to professional disagreements. I don't consider that a character flaw.
As Scoey said, not entirely tenuous.
Why the "dare I say"?
Somebody did it allegedly.
Forcefield merely suggested who he thought it was, specifying that was just his thoughts, and then explaining what lead him to that conclusion.
Almost certain that's not character assassination.
Considering it was allegedly a high profile player it already limits it to about 5 people.
I see merit in his hypothesis. But either Chook didn't hold a grudge considering he publicly called for Genia and Cooper to be selected for the Wallabies later, or that rules him and Cooper out.
Except for competent THP and competent reserve THP.
Two interesting tidbits in today's Australian (to get around the paywall, just copy the blurb into a google search).
1. Quade would like Stiles to be head coach
2. Laurie Fisher is rumoured to be in strong contention
There seems to be a lot of player support for Stiles, for what that's worth. Stiles taking head coach (and presumably set-piece) responsibilities seems to be a popular choice with players. Should we read anything into the fact that there has been no comparable declarations of support for MOC?
Probably not, but this is the internet.
Donald Trump knows good 5/8th's. He has all the best 5/8th's. His 5/8th's are excellent.
We're going to build this 5/8th and we're going to make NSW pay for it.
Problem with Stiles is that he has never been a part of a successful franchise, even in the capacity of Assistant Coach. ( Force and Reds)
People hold him up there for his set piece success at the Reds. Simmons totally runs the lineout, training and otherwise. Slipper and Holmes run the scrum, two of the most experienced props in Australia. Gill, Shatz, Browning, Tui, Douglas and Simmons are all experienced.
The younger props and hooker like Sef, Tupou and Ready learn from those older blokes (by packing down time and time again at training) and by being thrown into the action. Ready has been a standout and the other two, aren't real shabby either.
I think to a large degree Stiles place on the pedestal is largely unwarranted.
There are plenty of questions re appointing the bloke as HC.
Am still hoping for another, particularly now that Blackadder seems lost to the cause.
We're also going to have a temporary ban of all NSW players entering Queensland![]()

Why only "temporary" ?
Some would say he knows 3/5ths of 5/8ths.Donald Trump knows good 5/8th's. He has all the best 5/8th's. His 5/8th's are excellent.
We're going to build this 5/8th and we're going to make NSW pay for it.
Because if it was permanent, TSS would never win a game of footy, and Queensland Teams finishing 5th/6th and lower at Schoolboy National Championships would become the new normal.Why only "temporary" ?

Assaulted a coach? I didn't say anything like that. I said I assumed they had a professional difference of opinion and he said he no longer wanted to work with him. We'll have to agree to disagree re character assassination and defamation. Saying you think someone is prickly is neither, in my opinion.You have suggested he assaulted a coach because he pulled our of a deal and in your opinion is prickly. That sounds like character assassination and defamation to me.
He was a Reds player at the time so it is possible. I could also come up with equally valid arguments based on weak evidence for other players. As a result personal attacks are much better left unsaid.
#QuexitYou misunderstand where we build the wall. Just this side of Grafton, I think.
