New approach paying off for Force, says Mitchell

[jargan83]

I'd tell you to piss off and find a Brumbies website, but there is not enough Brumbies supporters in general, let alone enough committed supporters to start a dedicated Brumbies supporters site

Hell even the tahs have GTT

[waratahjesus]

i agree with mudskipper!
now hold on there dont hate on me just yet!
its been stated by gerry and jargs here that all the facts havnt come out yet!
i think what muds trying to say is why say you support someone going on trial

i dont agree myself with not supporting him, but to jump the gun and say he is right if the reported figure of thirty players and staff have a grevence with him seems a bit strange. muddy is saying it in a way to get a rise and good on him he cops some flack on here no matter if he makes a valid point or not!

if your going to claim that us "outsiders" cant say anything bad about him cos we dont have all the facts, then surely the reverse applys to you "insiders"?

otherwise a general, we support the force may be all that needs to be said!

please mudskpper, you of all people should know that friction between coach and players means nothing..

i shouldnt need to remind you of the 2004 season, Nucifora was overthrown by his players but remained as coach and the Brumbies went on to win the S14..

another example not quite the same in 2008, McKenzie sacked before the end of the season but his team still makes it to the GF.

yep Nucifora is a good example the players took over and won the Championship...
All power to the players... and the club let Nucifora go... I think Nucifora and Mitch are likely similar style coaches...

[waratahjesus]

they were different in my opinion, the mckensie sacking was at board level mostly, the friction between players and coach there was actually dealt with by the players and coach a couple of weeks before the board acted. and the board acted without thinking as they normaly do here!

the nucifora thing was a bit easier cos of the number of senior players at the brumbies during that period, they coached themselves.

the main thing i see at the force is that the board have publically outed the issues and said the coach is on trial, but then have lagged in taking action.

the best action would be to make a decision either way and stick with it. the playing group are playing for wallabie jumpers and cos they actually like to win, its not going to matter to them who coaches if there winning!

[TOCC]

Yes the Mackenzie saga was very different, i was rather using it as a example of how club distablisation doesnt necessarily mean the end of the teams season.

Regards Nucifora, he was still coach for the rest of the season though, he was somewhat relinquished of power though, its all very similar to the Force..

PS: i do not hope that the Force copy the efforts of the Brumbies in 2004 because i will never be able to come to this site again.

You'll have to come back TOCC.

The QR Reds don't have a site that we can hang shit on you for 12 months

[mudskipper]

The senior Brumbies took over... Nucifora made his position unbackable and lost is post... You even have to listen when your coach... Nucifora forgot that...

[mudskipper]

Yerr.....the Force signed Mitch for four years? And well Nucifora didn't have the pilots looking out for him...

The wings on Mitch's shoulders....
