Richard Grahams Leaves the Force

[jargan83]

Queenslanders love a good bandwagon

[BeeJay]

Finally Dodgy Bro, the Force do have a great core of supporters but it is churlish to suggest that the pool of supporters comes within cooee of the Reds. This is not a criticism of the Force, just an obvious statement about population numbers, participation levels and numbers of people with rugby connections here.

You are welcome to have him, tic.

What we lack in quantity we more than make up for in quality, and sheer passion.

Force forever!

[Burgs]

You couldn't get a better support base than what u find here in WA.

Sadly, I have come to question this in recent times...

From Whirlpool:

"Sharpie for Forwards coach! With Phil Mooney as Attack/Head coach."

[sittingbison]

Reds you are welcome to him. There are many sea of blue who are extremely concerned at RGs management, brain dead dick is the sobriquet, for some of the insane game plays that cannot be blamed on players, and if certain players are responsible he hasn’t shown nouse or fortitude in hooking them.

Just watched ABC news, and what first sprang to mind after seeing RGs news conference was “hand in your keys and passwords, here is the security guard to ensure the door doesn’t hit you on the arse on way out”

Hmmm...sea of blue still turns out with our lamentable performance... But seem to recall it was rats off a sinking red ship until the surprise 2011 win, and Tahrds supporters boo their own team losing by a point...

I hope the Force take their time and choose the best coach possible, they don't have to make a rushed decision.

Meanwhile appoint Phil Blake caretaker coach and show RG the door. Best to have him removed from the set-up all together.

[Darren]

give the interim job to the forwards coach - he seems to be pulling his weight ...

[sittingbison]

RG must be shown the door

Blakey is the defense coach. His part of the game is OK. If it's practicable I'd agree. If he can teach the 5/8 to steer the team around as well as he did they'll go OK. Can't go much worse at any rate. :-(

Graham needs to leave immediately. He cannot stay any longer. Doubt any of the other coaches could do worse. Let's get the best possible coach wherever he's from , not an Aussie just because of ARU pressure

this year. Of course this support has always been this strong, even in the years where there were more away supporters at your home games that Reds supporters......yeah, Queensland's a state with a massive, loyal fanbase, which can handle a couple of seasons grooming him into the coach they need him to be.

How about we swap, I'd be happy to have Link, because he's turned a bunch of mugs into world beaters.

[Blackswan]

If I recall, Graham was the specialist backs coach for the Wallabies for a short period of time. Then they found him out pretty quickly and dumped him on the Force.

I agree that he needs to be shown the door immediately. We can't really do any worse without him.

[Blackswan]

Am I ever gunna see you face again??

Ah yes. Especially with the usual Sunday session adjunct. Perhaps we should get it printed and distribute it firstly via TWF and then at the next match Maybe with the right connections we could get the usually useless guy at the ground to start broadcasting it at every break in play ................

ok, wishful thinking ......... and I'm normally such a nice guy.

[sittingbison]

And he fronted the news conference sprouting off about how great it would be coaching the 2011 champion reds instead of his own useless force wearing…wait for it….western force official clobber!!

Brain Dead Dick! You are welcome to him Reds, good luck.

Lets just hope they name a new coach (Nick Mallet) in the next few days and tell RG to pack his bags!
But lets hope they get the best this time and not some knee jerk reaction and grab the first coach with a pulse. (like RG)
