"It has also been reported that relations with the players are so bad, that Mitchell was asked to leave the dressing room before the Lions last game against the Sharks and that the coach¿s game plan was completely abandoned by the players, who went out and played the match how they felt it should be played. I¿m sure that no one will need to be reminded that the Lions beat the Sharks 38 ¿ 28."

I can't wait to hear what it is John Mitchell did that was SO terrible that grown men couldn't deal with it for 3 more weeks... Did he touch their totties in the shower or something? I mean really.

Hmm can't see this helping the Lions much. Ackermann is not the brightest nor the most articulate. Maybe not a disadvantage playing in the second row but a big disadvantage when coaching a S15 team that's battling.

At least Ackermann won't coddle the players, which is what they seem to want... Lions are a mess right now and all of this is playing into the Spears' (and the politicians') hands.

Rediculous!!!

Now the Lions deserve to be relegated, not because of their players or fans

but because of their idiot administrators!

Mitchell is a great coach and the Lions have just shot themselves in the foot.
