Ratts media persona

[MC Gusto]

Early doors but I am quite enjoying Ratts candour and straight talking when it comes to fronting up to the media.

I personally had a real bugbear with Richos media personality.

In my mind he dished up a whole lot of words that meant nothing. On top of that the overuse of pleasing, positive etc drove me nuts!

Ratts is more what you see is what you get. Matter of fact straight talking

Hopefully that translates to clear and simple messaging to the playing group

[Leo.J]

I’ve done a couple of coaching courses this season, one at the Saints, and one with the Pies.

Out of all the assistants Ratts was by far the best communicator.

He made me want to pull the boots back on.

Did he have one?

Ratts also says pleasing though.

I cringed when he said “strong” too in his first presser. I give him the benefit of the doubt when he’s probably been hearing it all year from someone else

[Sainternist]

We need to hire Ratten as our new coach for 2020 and beyond. He has been endorsed by Alastair Clarkson, who holds him in very high esteem. When Clarko speaks that highly of someone, the club is stark raving mad not to take note.

It's quite funny though how words can sound a bit better, perhaps even have context restored when spoken by another person.

Absolutely agree. It’s not like a player saying yeah Ratts is great it was Clarko unequivocally saying he should have never been out of coaching. Add to that the three peat as an assistant. Ratten > Scott.

I had no problem with Richardson in the media, always made perfect sense to me.

You’re kidding me aren’t ya?

[B.M]

No

What did you expect him to say?

[mightysainters]

Hire Rats now... He's a very good thinker and communicator

[B.M]

Give him a three year extension

Two out of two. You couldn’t ask for more. He needs to be given the job permanently. We are playing with flair and freedom. Ratts is the man. Calling it early

[B.M]

Let’s see how he goes against a decent team first

haha ..strong in the contest......

well done BM

[BarryGrogan]

Let’s see how he goes against a decent team first

Why?

[B.M]

Is there anything wrong with saying someone was strong in the contest?

Brett Ratten said those exact words after the dogs game

Because it’s a much harder press conference after losing, and it’s much harder to win against a good team

[bigcarl]

He looks a bit of a stress head in the box, but in press conferences there’s an element of, “What, Me Worry?”

He’s got us playing with similar abandon. Good, positive attacking football. I hope he gets the gig.

[bigred]

FFS he said it.

"G'day Saints Fans"....

sigh.

[B.M]

G’Day is a pretty traditional way to say hello in Aus

The message is for Saints fans

Big deal?
No

How else would one start the message??

True enough. But someone has completely ruined a few words in the English dictionary for me: -

- Pleasing
- Incredibly
- Strong

I'm not sure I'll ever hear those words ever again without thinking of Richo peppering them into every sentence.

[bigred]

"park that".
