Live Chats with Hook and White

[Rowan Edwards]

Has anyone received a login for the chat? I replied to the email pretty quickly but it looks like I missed out.

Any chance someone could post a summary?

 

[Big Pete]

The transcript will be posted on the Broncos website.

We'll open a new thread as soon as it becomes available.

Would be very interested to know if anybody managed to gain access to the chat?

Guys, some of the proposed questions being put forward here are really great - please keep them coming (please do not PM the questions specifically to me though, as some subscribers have been doing over the past 12 hours or so). I think it would be more prudent to keep them in this specific thread for easier compilation by the mods.

Now, if time permits tomorrow night, I wonder if I may PUT forward just the 1 more question for Hook? Thanks guys and really lovin the enthusiasm for this initiative!

2. Hook, in relative terms, you are somewhat new to NRL coaching. You are, however, in charge of one of the competitions' glamour/powerhouse clubs. Now, you have a reputation for being an unflappable type of character who rarely shows any emotion/anxiety. I'm just wondering Hook, what strategies have you put in place to ensure the pressure of coaching does not impact upon your emotional/mental wellbeing? Perhaps you could share with some of us budding coaches the effective relaxation techniques that work for you?

Great question. Ask it after we find out why we can't score points yet have great completion rates and are 12 on the ladder, and proposed solutions

 

[vertigo]

I wouldn't target any specific examples because I believe the response will focus on disproving your claim.

This, you have to think like a Lawyer and ask the right question to get the answer you want rather than a bunch of spin.

EDIT: If you have an issue with a post or poster report it or use the ignore function.

There's only so many times I'll say this, leave FIH alone, he's not trolling, he simply has a unique opinion which we have to respect.

If u get a chance, could u ask him this for me please. Hook, do u think u r incredibly fortunate that u have been given the backing of the board despite only winning 7 of his last 25 games? Could u also ask him if he has backup plans because there is no way in hell that he will be at the helm next year?

Hopefully no one asks him this, We should be using this as an opportunity to get some answers, not making sure it will be shut down just because some people think they are hilarious

 

[Renegade]

Seems like a reasonable question to me, ie, how much longer do you think you can dish this shit up before we get jack of it?

So you can't see that a question like this would have negative impacts on the overall event?

 

[Renegade]

I'm just being jaded, I don't think anything good would come from asking that question, but on the same token I don't see us getting anything insightful or astute out of this tete-a-tete. TRUST US. BELIEVE US. FAITH IN US. /end session.

The only thing that will happen if a question like this gets asked is, this type of event never happens again.

My point exactly. Hopefully people will understand this now that it is coming from you

 

[Kimlo]

I'm pretty sure the questions are screened.

 

[noisetheory]

it will definitely be a moderated chat where only the questions the moderator feels are valid reach hook.

Guys, I'm just enquiring as to if there is any particular location, i.e. website, where we can watch a live showing of this webchat?

It would be funtastic if the webchat had some kind of moving scroll bar type thing (such as Sky News, ABC News have) that has updates each minute or so and occurs after member question/response from Hook - and is simultaneous/almost live as it happens.

Otherwise, is there any BHQ subscriber who is volunteering to keep us ALL updated?

Counting down the hours and hope you guys all have a great time tonight too :tongue_smilie:

 

[noisetheory]

funny we got half the answers we wanted already today..

Good question Fella, although I think that the best person to ask would be the tech guys RUNNING the webchat tonight. Just ask them before you go live. Looking forward to chatting to you TONIGHT Anthony

Maybe that's why he did it. To save answering some hard questions. Then after the chat he will change the team back to normal. :tongue_smilie:
