Re: Scotty on the couch tonight
Scott the media performer...
I just don't see it and never have unfortunately. I don't see how some on here think he is so good in terms of media...
I feel he twists answers, and lacks a bit of substance in his responses.
Not a knock on his coaching - which is obviously still a debate in my eyes... But focusing on his media performances since he started.

Hopefully it's too early to tell. There may be more substance than meets the eye. One thing is for certain, though. He's going to be thoroughly tested before the season's out.WinnersOnly wrote:Doesn't inspire confidence - he is full of fluff in my view...

Re: Scotty on the couch tonight
I can understand why people think that about Watters but it's a bit harsh and who gives a sh!t what he sounds like. As long as he is getting through to the players on what needs to be done. I've heard him speak quite well at times.
Who are we comparing him to? Thomo was considerd a smarmy smart arse.
I remember a mate a mine saying that Rosco sounded like he was on rohypnol very early on in his career. By the time he left the Saints, his media was a strength.
What about Mick Malthouse? Is he any better? He sounds like a cantankerous old codger with a bad case of hemorrhoids but the players love him.

They all do to a degree just when he does it comes across as lacking something.
Not sure what that something is, what whatever it is its not impressive to me.

Yeah. Just some of his logic. Goes on and attempts to install a bit of explanation, but seems to go in circles and leaves me a bit worried.

So you agree as you can understand what I see.
Exactly not a knock on coaching ability, but lets be honest, that's still a very debatable topic.
Re: Scotty on the couch tonight
Terry Wallace was considered a consummate media performer as a coach and we know how that ended.

Re: Scotty on the couch tonight
To a point but SW is still a new coach and has a long road ahead given were we are at. Like I said, he has come across really well at times and may loosen up a bit over time but the way he speaks may reflect were we are at as a club and the really difficult road we have ahead over the next three years. He's saying all the right things and will give the young guys a chance. Jury is still out on coaching ability but it doesn't help that we are losing.Spinner wrote:SaintPav wrote:I can understand why people think that about Watters but it's a bit harsh and who gives a sh!t what he sounds like.

Now I'm listening to real leaders talk on Q&A.

Re: Scotty on the couch tonight
I was talking to the players at fan day in Wellington they all spoke with high praise about Scott Watters compared to Ross. Some of them actually had some quite negative words about Ross especially done of the younger players who he failed to play. Tom Hicky and Arryn Sipposs were both in Wellington I spoke two both of them at the Basin reserve. Arryn said he hadn't played all of April.

Re: Scotty on the couch tonight
i think ross actually stuffed up a few who may have had promising careers..derailed them......but ...give a few of them a game.....and look what happens...the rest of them think they are in with a chance and you see a blinder from the guys like sandy's win at the weekend...that never happened under judas.......saintwalsh wrote:I was talking to the players at fan day in Wellington they all spoke with high praise about Scott Watters compared to Ross.

Re: Scotty on the couch tonight
I too think he talks in emotives ala Grant Thomas a bit and does seem a tad light on strategically to the point where some match day decisions and selections have left me puzzled but geesh he's got a tough gig IMO.

Re: Scotty on the couch tonight
I get the impression that SW does that by design though
he simply doesn't seem to want to give anything away. I don't like that but WTF would I know. That's his call

Re: Scotty on the couch tonight
It's about how good his game plan is and his ability to get our players to perform it. Knowing what theyre capsble of and getting every bit out of them. It has nothing to do with his media performance skills. But we all knew that already .
