Is it just me or does anyone else find Ratts consistent use of the words "maybe" or "probably" annoying?

In some cases it makes me wonder if he has no confidence in what he is saying when he uses those descriptions.

A bit of a worry....

Yeah look, I guess maybe, I suppose it probably could get, I guess, a bit annoying. But for now, I suppose, we'll probably just have to, you know, I guess live with it.

Probably. I suppose.

Very funny guys

But He always uses the words when quoted in the media and even when I have seen him interviewed on TV he says them all the time.

Its annoying

But maybe, probably it nothing

lol, yeah I think his hairstyle is a concern also

Hairstyle? He has more to worry about! What's with those ears??? They need to be pinned back!

I think Synbad is trying to do that as we speak

TeeHee thats pretty funny, it reminded me of when Ratts used to play in the wet, coming off the ground he definitely resembled a drowned rat, hair all flattened out and those round ears poking out.

Gee he was great in the clinches though

Yes you are

With the names Bower, Austin & O'hAilplin at the selection table, life looks like getting a little tougher for Anderson & Hartlett. Personally I'd want to give them both a real crack at where they should fit in the side, but not sure if there's the room just yet.

Further pushes the theory that Hartlett has to make it up forward, first and foremost.

Assuming Bower, Setanta & Hampson are fit:

IN: Bower, Setanta, Austin, Scotland
OUT: Hartlett, Bentley, Fisher, Armfield

I've softened on my stance with Houlihan; had 19 touches and was in the clinches, albeit not laying many tackles. Got caught a lot and pinged once, but while an issue of intensity, different from what we normally see from him. Worth persisting with so long as he tries to change.

I am a big fan of where Armfield can go as a player, but Anderson deserves another go around. On top of that, he matches up on those medium forwards which beat Army in the air, and Johnson/Scotland on the ground. Would have towelled Morton if we needed him to last week, and even spent some time on Riewoldt. That flexibility was something I felt we could have with Armfield being able to play on a wing, but he hasn't kicked on in that respect.

Hartlett is unlucky, but Bower probably won't come up.

Interesting ins...would we be going in too tall though? I'm inclined to leave Armfield in for this one only because of his toughness. Houla's the worry for me in games like these when its in close and tough...he tends to become invisible very quickly.

I'd bring in Scotland Bower and Carlos if all available and drop Fisher Bentley and Houla. I'm dropping Houla purley on horses for courses and believe me this course this week is not made for Hoops.

You can't even write a sentence properly!

It a confidence issue and he is very guarded when speaking to the media in case he lets something slip or says something that the opposition can use as ammunition - he will improve /develop go back to Ross Lyon a couple of years ago and he was as wooden and cliched as pinocchio - but has improved and so will Ratts

I think overall he represents the club well - the more he does it the more he will get better at it .

Once again he is a young developing coach - he needs to develop various aspects of his coaching skills
