This probably didn't need its own thread.

You mean the team that Joey Wright put together himself??

How controlling telling a bunch of adults who they can room with.

^Always 2 sides to every story

It isn't really controlling, it's actually quite common. It's also to prevent toxic personalities from linking up, as well as to help some of the ones who don't fit in to feel more included etc. Another reason is to put a more positive influence in with someone who may be prone to negativity and so on.

I heard Joey ordered cornflakes for breakfast but one of the players brought him rice bubbles. It was at that moment he knew they didn't have what it takes to succeed in this league.

Interesting.

So the HC had so little authority he couldn't even manage to get these blokes to adhere to sleeping arrangements.

Sounds like a leadership failure to me. You know... The thing the HC is responsible for.

Joey also said on the interview that he brought Kevin White in to be a leader of the team but he just stood back (for reasons he didn't want to disclose but that he indicated would be uncomfortable for Kevin if he revealed them).

"So the HC had so little authority he couldn't even manage to get these blokes to adhere to sleeping arrangements.

Sounds like a leadership failure to me. You know... The thing the HC is responsible for."

This example actually shows petulance from the players. If they can't follow a simple request of rooming with certain teammates then it speaks a lot about their own maturity.

At least Kevin can now go back to Waratah league and play at his level now. The whole episode as sad for both sides of the argument.

"This example actually shows petulance from the players. If they can't follow a simple request of rooming with certain teammates then it speaks a lot about their own maturity."

Then punish them for it appropriately. Don't just be a passive aggressive dick. This wouldn't fly at any other club.

Maybe he did punish them. He isn't being passive aggressive by telling people what the players did wrong.

Maybe everyone should look at the players themselves.

Randle - no defensive knowhow and lazy
Froling - unfit and plain lazy
Griffin - no D and all about himself on the offensive end
Moore - just at the end

Team just didn't play for one for each other and weren't professional

Club needs to get rid of all four

Man players change rooms all the time. They usually have a buddy and they often like to switch it up. If anything it's a more positive thing that they did. Joeey, bye bye. Let's hope is never on Australian NBL soil again.

From the ABC:

Wright and the club "mutually agreed" to part ways on Wednesday evening, after seven years at the helm.

Yesterday he spoke to the ABC about the club's culture.

"Everyone that knows me knows what kind of culture person I am," Wright said.

"If there was anybody setting culture rules there and wanting to abide by them, it's me.

"That's probably one of my downfalls.

"I'm too hardcore about keeping culture the way it's supposed to be and doing the things you're supposed to."

Naughty boys.

Gee, it seems the Frolings have issues everywhere they go.

#726, Sam seems to be fine but the rest have trouble written all over them.

Classy to the end.... Good on you Joey!!

Big fat harry frolling. Let of the hungry jacks

This is like the time Isaac and Oscar switched room on their unsuspecting folks

In all seriousness what coach in theyre right mind would have teys and white on the same team? Self sabotage at its finest

More like the time Isaac and Oscar switched Ferrari's.

^^ haha gold

This whole thing stinks...
Lots of people with axes to grind it appears.
To be honest, I don't think either side has handled things well...

That was so lame.

^ you make more sense than anyone in this thread thus far

"Interesting. I've asked on here before about the bags under his eyes which had developed over the last few years. No one else mentioned or noticed it. Didn't look like he was healthy but lifestyle could also explain it."
So is there a point here? Are you a Doctor? "Lifestyle could explain it? Oh you mean stress coaching and NBL team?

I'm now really glad that this didn't all bubble up in Cairns when Fearney left. I get the feeling that it had the potential to.

"Implicit character assassination right there. Either by Wright towards White, or by poster towards Wright."
