Can anyone fill us in on what Staff had to say. Would be most interested.
Just watched Talking Footy shawry. Greg was wonderful. Extremely articulate and doesn't suffer fools gladly.
They have to ask a straight question or he doesn't answer. There's no tricking him.
Bruce was gushing all over Staff, thought he was going to lean forward a centimetre more and give him a kiss.
Instead of Bruce going Caaaaaaaaaaaaaarey now in the future I'm sure it will be Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaford.
I think he's in love, ha.
Anyway to some of Staffs comments that you requested.
-The reason the team is going badly is they are not adhering to the coaches instructions. They are going outside the boundaries of team rules.
-Bruce asked Staff why can't Danny just be Danny and do media performances such as Talking Footy like other coaches do. Why did he need to be gagged?
Staff's comment was that Danny is not a media personality, he's a coach and he does that very well. He shut Bruce up pretty quickly on that one.
-They said Danny was going away for the break, but is staying in Melbourne due to our slump. Staff is heading down the coast.
-On Richo said he was a super personality and modest, maybe too modest. He gave the opinion he left things unsaid by saying "but who am i to comment? I'm just a bum." Good evasion skills Staff, ha.
-Asked if the captaincy would change Richo's habits Greg just smiled and said Richo was captain on Saturday and it made no difference.
-When questioned about whether the Spider incident changed the way he went about rucking he said not at all. He did nothing wrong, and his eyes were on the ball. If they weren't he would have accepted having the book thrown at him.
Was extremely disappointed with the media treatment over it.
-Greg dodged all questions asked about opposition players because you don't want to give them ammo or "blow wind up their proverbial" ;D but conceded he's an out and out Archer fan. (Makes 2 of us Greg)
-Finally asked if he'll ever coach the answer was definitely not. Will he end up in the media? Preferably not.
Great effort Staff, you do the RFC proud.
The Daffy/Staff deal would have to be one of Richmond's best efforts ever imo.
