I’ve heard some words and euphemisms I’ve never heard in any professional sport capacity. Thought it would be fun for us to compile a list of JJB’isms.
I’ll start with
‘Idolatry’- (the worship of idols.)
How he got that into the latest post match interview I’ll never know.

"Upmost Reverance"

Few more to muse over……

‘Some of the lads looked spiritually dead.
JJB the Messiah?

‘They were going at each other like little angry men. Little angry lemmings’
We know the JJB family likes video games…..

‘Don’t talk ‘fluff, speaking for the sake of speaking’
Maybe needs to look inward on this one.

Sezer didn’t play because we didn’t want him to get ‘upset and angry’.
WTF?

‘We need to stick our heads above the proverbial fox hole’
Do foxes live in holes? Did he mean rabbit hole?

The game is ‘war played out on a dance floor’
That’s actually deep and genius!

As opposed to low level reverence I guess!

He`s becoming a laughing stock just like the team.
JJB thinks he`s something that he`s not.

Come on mate. Can’t you see the genius in some of his words? The prophet? Dare I say it……..’The Messiah!’

I think the club thinks he is too, to quote Alan Partridge, ‘ Sorry, that was just a noise.’ , but with JJB you get some biblical reference too…

I can’t listen to it.

I avoided listening but it wasn't as bad as I'd feared. He uses way too many metaphors but he was quite honest about things not being good enough and needing players to work with each other to sort things out. The other thing he needs to stop doing is referring to himself and his own experiences all the time - I'm quite sure Wayne Bennett never references his life or career when talking to players, and if I were a 20-year old it would be the last thing I'd care about anyway.

But he's a tyro coach in a no-win position. I wish him well as long as he's coach, but he really needs to go and learn his trade somewhere else if he wants to be a coach.

I’m waiting for references to the knights templer, and god’s grace.

Under his eye more like…

Like Alan Partridge.

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.

The word is "utmost".

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.

Not in the world of high priest Jamie Jones-Buchanan it isnt

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.

Hahahahaha !!!
Corporate Entertainer.

He's our Wally Custard....

He’s not the messiah etc…

Im impressed people can understand what he says, sounds like someone trying to speak with a hot potato in their mouth.

He’s recently had reconstructive surgery on his jaw from the injuries he had whilst playing. He’s explained why he’s struggling with talking at the moment.

But I suppose if it makes you feel good taking the then fill your boots.

He hardly sounded like Carey Grant before the surgery! Just an observation……but I find it fascinating listening to him …..

All said with his Bramley accent. When I hear JJB and JP speak it makes me feel ok about my vernacular
