Kent raised a good point on NRL 360 about the yin and yang of coach's temperaments. If you look back at all of our coaches, we haven't had a single abrasive coach. Bennett, Henjak, Griffin & Seibold were all relatively softly spoken and rarely gave sprays. Walters will be much of the same. Perhaps Green is what we need, someone who isn't afraid to call players out for their attitude and efforts.
Kent could have a point, that does largely describe Bennett, Griffin and Seibold's approach. Henjak on the other hand was the complete opposite - he made everybody feel uncomfortable because he'd eviscerate rookies for not coming up with plays that even the senior players would have struggled with. It's why the playing group gravitated towards Hook who was promoted to assistant and was making a lot of positive changes. When they departed ways with Peter Ryan they brought in Griffin and the defence basically improved over night.
