Dont worry someone is offended, not Rocket, not Rockets wife, the perpetually indignated are looking, looking ...
I don't think it's about being offended lol, it's about his total inability to keep calm and coach, and relying on assistant coaches to actually achieve anything other than losing the plot.

There is literally probably no coach who ever had more than a couple of seasons who didn’t have a spray like this at some point

If that is legitimate, then that dickhead should never go near another coaches box again. Funny to listen to but embarrassing and unprofessional.
Probably happens in coaches boxes every day. The supposed best coach in the modern game did put his first through a wall.

It’s legit for sure. Everyone knows Wil Minson was a numbnuts both on the field and any time he was asked to shed his Mensa grade intellect on national television. Rocket was probably at the end of his tether.

Would love someone to nominate which game it was. You could pair this audio with the vision for true commentary gold.

Well if it's vs Saints in 2009 there were three different games. You would need some free time for sure.

LOL that was magnificent.

Poor ol Leon trying to maintain calm and order in the box.

Nek Minute.

"You ****en big ****en *******!"

Rocket you are a dinosaur and an absolute star of a bygone era.

Tremendous. Is there anymore? I remember years ago they had a whole series of Spud Frawley going off his nut in the Richmond box.

Shows that Leon Cameron is far better at being a coach than Rodney Eade. A coach can't lose composure like that as they are useless if they can't keep a somewhat level head during games.
Rocket clearly saw Minson showing symptoms of muscular spasms.

With the players welfare front of mind, Rocket gave directions for player Minson to come off, and by god was he taken off quickly.

Not sure what coaches box you were listening to, ya big ****en *******!

There's a difference though, the players still love and respect him.

Players hated Rocket. He belittled and abused them. He belonged in the 70s with his style of coaching.

Yep. Ryan Fitzgerald still very much hates Eade, and I can't think of too many players that are happy to talk about how much they hated their former coach, but Eade has a few players who are willing to talk about how much they disliked him.

Can clearly tell it’s doctored, the bit with cameroncasking rocket to calm down because they can’t hear and he responds calmly and then almost instantly without taking another breath starts screaming again is the give away

Almost unphased it’s doctored in some way. Absolute gold.

According to Dylan Buckley Rocket for all intents and purposes delisted Dan Gorringe two games into his Gold Coast tenure, so this comes as no surprise.
