    Sorry mate, you missed it, private sector, multi-million dollar turnover, just not Atilla the Hun! I guess you DON'T know everything.

    All this players tantrums behind the scenes is a sign that nobody is in charge and that there is no leadership.

    If management does not think Blake is the man, they need to call a meeting and tell the players what is what and put an end to the crap now. They have a game on Saturday that the fans and sponsors expect them to win. Grow some balls and start concentrating on winning a rugby match on saturday instead of whining and moaning like school girls
    amen, that's true leadership. If there's reason to believe the blokes who have been working for him for 18 months know what they're talking about then this is the perfect situation for the board, give him a shot, set some KPIs and tell him to meet them or he's out. If the board think they can do better, let the players know and let them decide whether they want to be on board or not. (personally, I'd offer a contract release to anybody who doesn't want to stay, because that can be a cancer)

    Before you jump all over that, saying we'd lose a lot of players, I know it's a risk, but think it's far more effective to have people who want to be on the program.

    What have you and Rex been smoking?

    Drugs and alcohol don't mix, were you on a high or a low when you wrote that garbage?

    Full of "They should do this, they should do that....."

    "They" should do a lot of things but at least "they" are out there doing it.

    3 weeks of rehab would do you wonders. Your dreams are starting to become everyone else's nightmares.

    Woeful idea,!.. Sharpie great player no doubt, his legacy at the force is secured for ever!... But what makes people think, great player = a great senior coach?...get a big name senior coach in, that's how you'll attract decent players.... And no martin johnston please......

    You sound like a real passenger in life.

    I could forgive your misguided verbage if you were a public servant.


    "If the board think they can do better, let the players know and let them decide whether they want to be on board or not. (personally, I'd offer a contract release to anybody who doesn't want to stay, because that can be a cancer)"

    Are you for real?? Why don't we all have a cup of tea and a chat about it everytime we encounter a problem? Sounds like you've been brain washed into thinking you've got leadership skills - that Corporate Leadership Manual on your desk doesn't automatically make you a leader - you need to earn that by your actions.

    Your boss should root you out and sack you, speaking of cancers.

    The Force needs support right now, not idle gossip in the corridors.

    He's got the time now, as he's been released from his Wallaby's duties as far as I know. Most probably should take it as a sign, and bite the bullet, if he doesn't I'd say he's missed an opportunity.

    Leave the comedy to the experts Rumour man

    At least you weren't dribbling about how unfair life is that people won't play at your club

    I found the change refreshing

    If you think the Force management are doing a good job because they are "out there doing it" you'd better give up the weed.

    When employess take ownership and everybody in the organisation becomes accountable to the work place standards, amazing things happen.

    The Stalinesque approach is so 18th century

    Great leaders show humility and listen to their people........and sharpen the saw

    No wonder you were sacked
