Rendell was on SEN for about 15 minutes, wouldn't shut up when they tried to cut him off to go to the news.
He named names of who was too soft as well as who they were expecting to carry the load of the tough stuff.
He said yesterday he wrote down his best Port 22 for 2022, he didn't know Hartlett was cut and he said he had Hartlett and Jones on the HBF and SPP in the middle. He had a couple of shock omissions - flakey flanker types, but just can't remember who.
He said PF are just about the hardest game of the year to win and you can't afford to have soft players. He said you need players that are physically tough to win a PF, Port probably have too many of them who aren't, and listed some of the older tougher guys who the rest expected them to do it. Rucci was very quiet and hardly said anything in the 15 minutes.
Talks about a lot of them having to have a big preseason in the gym. talks about the players are there but the mix is wrong. Last 2 minutes talks about the coach, says he stays, but they stuffed it up, and they have a few tough nuts in the coaching group - but doesn't mention Ken or Schoey.
I was reading a post I made when he was talking about these players and happened to read the first line of my signature, which I haven't changed for 4 years and basically ignore these days - We need big bodied, big arsed warriors with a healthy dose of mongrel, who are ruthless and brave.
The line I quoted above, I wrote in 2012 and added the last 5 words in mid to late 2013 when Hinkley had many times talked about players had to be ruthless and brave. I thought to myself, this is what Matt Rendell is talking about.
But its become a lot of talk. Ken is now more concerned about meeting Johnny Howard's 1996 mantra of being relaxed and comfortable, than ruthless and brave.
