You know the culture is good when the coach likes social media posts bagging his players.
Apparently things have got worse after Mitchell was seen at some concert this week doing shoeys on stage and getting pissed then rocking up to training late the next day etc when they needed to win to stay in the finals.

Huh? What's this all about?
Coach liked a comment by a fan online which basically said Knight and Host were clowns and any team with them would lose by 50, or something to that tune. Maybe he just agreed about knight...

OK, thanks mate. Of course I am a dinosaur, but can anyone tell me why a first grade NRL coach would have an Instagram account? Doesn't he have more important things to do and organise?

Anyway on Latrell, I know he is a good player when he is on but if he was offered to us at the moment I'd run a mile, no matter how good he is.

I know there are some on the forum who personally know the family so I am not going to bask the guy but to me, he just does not seem interested.

Tbf to him, accidentally liking a comment on insta is easy AF to do without noticing it.

You the kind of person who thinks players shouldn't have any hobbies (or haircuts) either?
Coach has a job to do but he doesn't have to do it 24/7
If he wants to use it to look at souths abuse on social media so be it, Fitz might recomment Jiu jitsu instead...

I see where chad is coming from but agree he's allowed to have a life outside of footy.

Maybe make account private/less obvious who you are.(Could already have it set up that way haven't really followed story that close)

Could be worse, atleast he's not pulling the NBA trick and making twitter burner accounts to talk **** about his players.

Yeah fair enough mate. I'm not on Instagram, can't stand that or twitter but as @Sevshark said liking the post by accident is something that is easily done.

Sorry, maybe I didn't get my point across, but I just don't think an NRL coach should get himself involved in social media. I hate that Gus does it too.

I accidentally told this bloke to **** off the other day on it. Finger slipped and accidentally typed out ‘go **** yourself you googly eyed ****’. Honest mistake 😂

Doesn't track, you're way too calm to have swear words in your predictive text

Oh definitely mate, but I wouldn't have thought he'd want to get involved in social media. Have all the hobbies and interests he likes, I just think he loses a bit of integrity.

I don't look at this closely so are there other coaches out there that have Instagram or Twitter handles not run by the club?

Gus is definitely way overboard - if another club exec acted like he does media would lash them too

I don't have insta and have very rarely gone on twitter... or X as it's now called for some dumb reason. Never posted on either.
I think some who aren't as familiar might not realise how public what they like can show as (aye, Jason Saab). You'd assume (hope) he accidentally tapped on the like abusing Knight and Host, but maybe he did actually like it not thinking anyone would ever know.

Haha, elon has tried to re-name every company he's ever acquired and even his children X in some capacity, he's obsessed with the letter for some reason.

I deleted my Facebook years ago, best decision ever, and never really used twitter.

Basically use insta to stalk the team haha.

Wiz would love that
keep my name out your mouth c**t
Flanno asking Ennis to be an assistant coach for him at the dragons for next year.

Tom Starling re signs with the raiders

Lachie Miller to Leeds is basically done. 3 year deal is what’s being said. Not sure if the knights are chipping in anything.

Apparently there’s been some huge issues with Mitchell and Walker with other south’s players and even coaches.
F***king Flanagan

He is going to be relentless man 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m not ready for the Dragons to be a good team

Yep I know they’re going to be good in 2-3 years once he cleans out the joint. Watch the war chest he’ll have for 2025.

The story at south’s is getting juicier. South’s considering releasing morris and burgess as assistants immediately.

Something seriously ****ed is going on there 😂😂

Massive divide between the playing group and coaches.
