He seems like a top bloke!
all this talk about how the tits screwed with TB's development. Dragons clearly did the same to Jacko. So gives me hope that there isn't going to be a compassionate release back to the Dragons anytime soon for him.
Super interesting about how Jacko was thinking about going back to carpentry, then along came Jesus H. Webby.
His recruitment strategy is essentially him looking the bloke in the eyes and saying You're very special, and here's why...
But he’s actually being serious and knows what to do with them.
Absolutely
Yeah. He obviously knows what to look for.
Guy knows the game. Good coach, great coach.

I can see many influences on Websters coaching style:
Bennett’s man management, Bellamy’s focus on competitiveness and fitness, Cleary’s relaxed attitude and in game playing style.
He’s a great learner of the game.

Interesting points:
- Was told at Dragons that 'he wasnt a first grader'
- Met with Webby who told him things about his game he didnt even know
- Asked about future contracts etc "im very happy here at the moment"
- Has actually bought a house here
- Asked if he is a Milwaukee or DeWalt man, says he "has a Milwaukee set waiting for me when I get back home"

I wouldn't read too much into the comments. You can neither say I'm out of here ASAP nor I never want to leave. Both are bad for your negotiating position.

And now he's getting the credibility of runs on the board.
A rookie coach & a year three coach with a track record of player development is quite a different scenario recruitment wise.

When asked 2-3 yrs ago what he does for hobbies he was like..um..um...play golf with wado?
Last year i think it became hanging out with partner
Now they bought a house? partner is probably kiwi? I doubt he's moving back, this is his home now
Partner is Aussie

Uh oh. Soon as the baby comes - he's out.
Autex should invest in a play centre / pre school where the partners can all take the little kids during the day, not even joking.

It's more about the missus needing her family around usual.
Absolutely shocking comment to say to players they aren’t good enough
Who was coaching Ford at the time ?
His name wasn’t Nathan Brown was it????

Anthony Griffin I think. He had quite a gruff persona.

My uncles nephew is Finau Latu (was at the dragons, now at the dogs) and he was having a yarn to me about how poorly they treated him basically blocking any potential progression to first grade as he wasn’t a favourite among the coaching staff. There was a few other younger players who were given similar treatment as well who have left I.e Tamale. Obviously different times to compare as Ford is much older than Finau but looks like nothings changed.
