Hadn’t come up with that one so far. But it does somehow feel like the beginning of oppressive weather which you just know is going to explode in a mighty stormAt this point we are basically just waiting for goody to get photoed doing lines with Ginnivan in a bathroom aren't we
Badloss has been very quiet these past few weeks, hasn't he?Hadn’t come up with that one so far. But it does somehow feel like the beginning of oppressive weather which you just know is going to explode in a mighty storm
I want to see change but I'm not 100% that Goodwin is the problem or needs to go. He seems* to have a great relationship with the players who seem to love him (I say seems because I'm only going on public info/perception I have no inside info), yeah he is too rigid in his gameplan but that's where I think getting some new assistants around him can help freshen him up and keep him evolving. He's a decent strategic coach but not a great tactical coach I think.
This year was bad but we did still win 10 games, we have had a good run the last few years (straight sets exits not withstanding). I think he's earnt the right to see how he'll bounce back in 2025, if we are looking shaky mid year he will rightfully be under the pump.
Happened quicker than expected, and not yet the level of explosive mess that I am predicting over the off season, but Glen Bartlett is now suing Brad Green, all of the directors and probably Jessica as well.Hadn’t come up with that one so far.

His relationship with the players is extremely relevant when you're talking about the culture/environment. If you have a psycho like Neeld at the helm it's not gonna go well, man management is a huge part of being a coach these days.Hard disagree.
On player relationships - this isn't relevant. It isn't like the players try harder because he is the coach (the season just gone we've had multiple games where we just gave up).
On the gameplan - he's had a few different assistants around him since 2021 and we've only gotten worse in this area. The head coach has the final say, we ultimately play the way he wants us to play
On the post flag seasons - the results we had were very overrated. 22-23 we went 2/8 against the top 4 each year and didn't win a final, we made top 4 both years due to easier fixtures but were never actual contenders.
This isn't even mentioning the problematic culture that has grown under him or the allegations against Goody himself for drug use. This guy is a huge problem and the longer we have him leading the club the bigger hole we are digging for ourselves.
Bartlett's just as big an egomaniac as Roffey.I am so sick of this club. What about this for a left field solution. Bring back Bartlett as president? Presumably the law suite will go away and a big broom will be swept through the club. No doubt it is probably a dumb suggestion and will be ridiculed but I am just sick of them. The way we are going I reckon we are on track to falling back into the post Daniher days
I’ve only heard bits and pieces, but I think a fair bit went down on both sides. The whole thing should have been handled better but I believe that GB wasn’t too stable. Seems believable since he doesn’t appear to be travelling too well even nowBartlett's just as big an egomaniac as Roffey.
Reckon our current board and CEO are shit but they were his board and CEO before they were Roffey's and Green's so what does that tell you?I’ve only heard bits and pieces, but I think a fair bit went down on both sides.

Feels like there is a lot of anger being worked out here on other people’s time. What pisses me off is that they all seem to have forgotten that the club is the members. Not the egos of a handful who want something to play with.Reckon our current board and CEO are shit but they were his board and CEO before they were Roffey's and Green's so what does that tell you?
I mean adding Green to his defamation lawsuit the moment he became president is pretty telling. It all feels like a gross misuse of the legal system tbh.
