Maybe he can use John Wilkins advice after a Leeming tackle “ they should focus on reviewing the unseen efforts in training” I wasn’t sure if he was using the Leeming chase and tackle as an example because I had seen that.

Phil Daly should be drawing a veil over these press conferences somehow. They're just damaging JJB's reputation.

What was previously funny or mildly thought-provoking in his guise as an analyst or corporate entertainer comes across as moronic or insubstantial when said from the mouth of a Super League Head Coach.

I can't watch them without cringing every 15 seconds or so.

JJB has to take some responsibility for the mess we are in, as he was part of Agars backroom team.
That said he seems to be getting a pretty rough ride on here for how he comes across in a press conference or on TV. Yes he does like to use metaphors and obviously has strong spiritual beliefs that may not be everyone's cup of tea, but so what. His love and passion for the club is undeniable and that always comes across whenever he speaks. There was an obvious improvement in the players attitude and effort on Friday, and if that was down to JJB getting his points across in a way that doesn't suit a few on here then tough.It is how the players respond that counts.
He is likely to only be in charge for a few weeks at most but hopefully he can start the turnaround.

We’re not dissing him. I love listening to the man talk. Some people are visionaries or Before their time. JJB is actually about 2000 years after his time. I’m sure he’d have a captive audience on the banks of the Dead Sea, wearing flip flops and draped in a rhinos flag…..

I don't mind the odd metaphor but JJB's tend to be so mixed and contradictory that they end up being nonsensical. I just don't see how he could be capable of instilling consistency in players if they struggle to follow his message. Let's hope I'm wrong and we see a marked improvement and a win against Huddersfield. Desperately need it.
