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

It's not, and shouldn't be, the accent. It's what he's saying.

Is JJB from Bramley? Wonder why he never mentions it?

Honestly were beyond a laughing stock at the minute. Somebody, anybody, please make this nightmare end!

I am uncomfortable with mocking JJB. It's not his fault the club is where it is and I like the way he talks, what he says and the way he says it.

He and long should have resigned. It would have been less of a shirt storm to hire agar two assistants on short term contracts and then had some sort of measured handover to a new boss. I'm disappointed neither saw fit to.
That said, although I've made a couple of mocking comments, I'm gonna knock it on the head. What he's given the club far outweighs the bad imo.

JJB/Long is a difficult one. Unless we wanted Walker to be head coach they were the only viable choices. Its pretty unlikely a new coach will bring an entire set of assistants on day one, so they'll probably stay at least to the end of the season. But the new coach must have the power to get rid of them and bring his own people in if he sees fit at the end of the year. They need to prove themselves along with a heap of the players.

Yes he is and still lives there and apparently so did his mate Ali

I love his latest comment, I'm excited by the tools I've got to work with over the next week.





couldn't be more right

Quality - Freudian slip!!

He has been a big part of this club for many years - his opinions seem to be well regarded by GH - so he must shoulder his blame of the clusterf**k that is the current situation. We have a media manager who should be managing this better than he is - but like every other senior person at Headingley they have zero experience outside of the club and that really shows.

I think JJB's verbositry is rubbing off on Cam Smith reading his interview on Leeds Live today
