Presser-Anyone know the time?

You're definitely reading too much into it Rosy. Who cares what Newman thinks in respect to whether Terry Wallace coaches next year. It's not his or the players' decision. Media ask stupid questions. Why would you ask a player a question like that. of course they are going to say 'yes I think' so or 'im not sure'. Unless its Akermanis of course.

There's a big difference in Chris saying the players think Terry will be there next year and saying he's not sure.

ToO suggested similar and I asked him what he thought I was reading into it.  He ignored the question so I'll ask you the same think GO.  I don't think I'm reading anything at all into it.

'Reading into it' means you're trying to make something out of nothing, as if Newman had some sort of inside information about Wallace's future next year. You sound like you seriously think Newman (and friends) have knowledge that Wallace will continue to coach next year. Well with all your posts on this minor question, thats how it seems anyway.

It seems to me that you're the one reading too much into things.  I've certainly not claimed anything of the sort and I certainly don't believe anything of the sort.  I don't for one second think the players would think Terry will be there next year, but my comments were about an actual claim, with no speculation involved at all. I've stated all along that I don't think it's the Captain's position to comment publicly on the matter, not whether I agree with his opinion or not.

"All my posts" are due to a certain few people who seem to take great pleasure in pulling me up on what I post, and actually putting words in my mouth at times, questioning my comment and posting false information in regard to it.

I think you are over analysing it and agree that it was a loaded two part question.
Seems pretty obvious that Newie was answering the first part of the question to me and in the heat of the presser wasn't able to clearly communicate the 2nd part of his answer. Storm in a tea cup.

So obvious that a few posts ago you were wrong in agreeing with Scoop as to what the actual question was and how it was asked. :hihi

Maybe Newmo didn't clearly communicate his answer but I'm not speculating about his comment.  I wouldn't have a clue if the players actually think Terry will be there next year or not and I don't think their opinion is relevant to my opinion that the Captain shouldn't comment publicly on whether Terry will be ther enext year or not.

Having now heard the press conference clearly I reckon thats the case. I also think he was trying to say what I intimated earlier in the thread that the players can't buy into speculation about Wallace's future because the players go into survival mode and the team self destructs.

Nah, in fact I can't remember even commenting to him on this thread...he's always having a crack at me. I just like to keep him honest. ;D

Edit-I just had a quick look through the thread tigger. I haven't said anything to mel have i?

Fair enough, that explains all your posts on this topic.
