    I am not talking about gameday. Obviously he is in the thick of the action on gameday. I am talking about during the week, week after week, month after month during the off season.

    You dont have to believe me if you dont want, I wouldnt give a rats. But its the truth and anyone with any real slight knowledge of what is going on will know its the truth.

    But you keep thinking that the coach has got nothing to do with anything. He gets paid millions but its not his fault how the team is performing
    Where have I ever said that he has nothing to do with our performances?

    How do you know what goes on "during the week...week after week" ?

    Is somebody telling you this or are you making it up?

      it just needs a captain , by name or reality to stand up to the assistants and demand certain plays be rehearsed!the team has to support that captain, but hold on we just released him to the tits?pearce? no he in soo for a bit? mini, one of the problems, maubs injured, ryles not senior at our club?

        You say that politis has made his fair share of mistakes, from not talking to bennett a second time, then the failure of 2 successive coaches to signing smith for 4 years..............as you have considered them errors, they are some fairly major ****ups in the scheme of things.

        Yet you now want smith sacked after 1 and a third seasons, after a successful 2010 where we were grandfinalists.....????

        Now i am not saying politis should be sacked, but why can't we afford the same leniency to the coach that we are affording to politis ???

        I mean, yeah we have lost alot of games this year, but in the grand scheme of things, that is nothing compared to the "errors" that politis has made over the past 6 - 7 years.

        Or is it the fact that the coach is more expendable that we should just do away with them when ever they are "not up to standard" ????
        We've made 5 grand finals in the last decade and you and others here think you know it all. Politis is shit and smith is up to standard.

          Nick?

          You acknowledge Nick has made several big mistakes. Are you prepared to allow him to keep making them? I mean if you were paying thousands a year in sponsorship, IF, and you considered the clubs decisions in the past and currently as mistakes, would you continue pouring money into the club?
          This is the frightening reality...not the fact that two or 3 big names are bludging and there's no belief amongst the troops, as well as blaming the coach whilst excusing his boss's "mistakes".

          The truth. Sack Nick's good mates and protected species Mini and Anasta, sack FPN and Ryles. Make Friend Captain. Allow Smith to coach and watch these kids perform.
          We've made 5 grand finals in the last decade and you are crying like a little girl about politis and the other decision makers at the club.

            Don't get the player in trouble. Remove his name.

              Thats exactly right. There's even more to it but its not appropriate to divulge more. Smith wont do anything about it because he just doesnt care enough. When the players see that the head coach doesnt care that 1 million per cent that he should be, then they lose focus and it only takes 1% or 2% difference in their attitude and it then becomes a downhill spiral.

                  Your previous post is where I assumed fred68 got his "inside information" from.

                  BTW I'm sure BJ appreciated you posting this conversation in a public forum.

                    Didn't the players have a problem with Freddy's assistants?

                    Talk about players running the show.

                    What a joke.

                      Do you work at your very best when you cant stand your boss or your superiors?

                      Trent Robinson leaving for england has been a big loss, believe it or not.

                        Its hardly inside knowledge. Its fairly common knowledge that smith took a backseat last year and this year. I am surprised at the disbelief by some on here about this news. Instead they want to blame politis.

                          What does "fairly common knowledge" actually mean?

                          I suspect it means speculation based on media snippets - which is completely appropriate for a forum like this but let's not pretend it is something it's not.

                            How many of those 5 deals did Nick close? Nick has forgotten how to close the deals. ive said that in other threads. Unlosable GFs and we somehow found another weakness within us.

                                He's a failure. Lets sack him but lets hold onto the coach.
