Mark O Meley apparently coaches " the middles" at Newcastle Knights he sounds perfect for Leeds with our love o a " middle"

Didn't the club one day want to create like a link between Newcastle Knights in NRL & The Rhinos here in SL. Danny Buderus was keen for young NRL talent from the Knights to maybe spend sometime on loan with the Rhinos and get first grade rugby when he first became Director of Rugby at Knights. If O'Meley is coaching for them could be a way to force this link between the two now?

JJBs prematch certainly stands out above the usual renta cliche interviews. Refreshing to hear his excitement and enthusiasm in that role without holding back.

Maybe i've just seen too much JJB now but what is endearing/ interesting as a player, analyst or public speaker very quickly becomes all sorts of levels of BS when he's the head coach of our club where facts and performance and reality are more important than his love of a narrative arc and story telling.

I wish JJB luck. Will be very interesting to see whether we get any kind of response to Agar's departure. I'm worried that we get some short-term bounce that means GH takes seriously the idea of JJB as head coach.

One thing I’d say about JJB is that he’s a leader a winner and a great motivator which hopefully will help lift the players in the short term at least

Does he motivate you Treebs? He does opposite for me. I put his presser on yesterday and turned it off after 5 mins cos i just cant listen to his rambling. God knows what a 22 year old player must think.

Anyway, lets hope he gets some response out of them cos we badly need it.

Re: 2022 | Richard Agar resigns : Thu Mar 24, 2022 7:26 am  

Each to their own. I feel more confident his approach will get a better response out of the team than agar. He's more articulate, passionate and insightful as a person than your average coach thats put in front of the camera.

I enjoyed it, whatever people think of JJB he’s certainly different, who knows he might give the side a bit of a lift.

His bit about the halves was interesting, he also said he might need to try something a bit different to get them firing.

Have to agree, his waffle is ok in small doses and in the right setting, his 30 mins press conference as head coach was too much for me. Hope im wrong and he inspires our playing group with it, but i would imagine it will soon become tiresome.
