Is Ratten too friendly with the players leading to a she’ll be right attitude?

I think he's too experienced for that.

He knows how to get the best out of players. He challenges them and appeals to their better angels.

Not afraid to lay down the law either when required. Just ask Jake.

The selection of this week's team will be interesting.

It's time to lay down the law on basic skill errors.

Wang's brother.


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Tell ya what- I want to see Hill getting a bit serious.. none of the happy, smiley stuff with his opponents. Ratts seems a good bloke, but sometimes you have to point the finger and stare some people down, and not sure if he has that in his style

I absolutely hate it when players (like Hill) laugh and joke with opponents particularly before the game and during the breaks.
And even after the game - just shake hands and get out of there.

Arguably one of the best sporting (basketball) coaches in the world.

"Kerr has compiled an astounding 300-77 regular season record over four and a half years as the Warriors' head coach"

Haha me either mate but as someone in coaching myself I've been exposed to him a bit.

Worth a google.
