🔨Building Team Spirit | QPR Squad Feels The Challenge Of The Haka

[@yahoo_vevo]

It looked like they enjoyed it eventually but their faces when he first walked in have me dead 😂😂

[@Ben-bn5ld]

As a New Zealand qpr fan this is pretty surreal

[@josephkarl2061]

Just going into my first lecture at Otago this morning, and while the tutors all exhort you to have an open mind and be prepared to be surprised, this was definitely out of left field 😅

[@TheMarkyBabar]

Anyone else getting David Brent vibes? 😂😂 COYRS!

[@adamcollins915]

The first minute. The funniest thing last week for me. Thanks Gareth.

[@Chefcouchon]

The fact they lost 6-1 after this lol

[@neilshayler3119]

Brave move by GA to bring the Haka and get the players to join as most get injured doing the YMCA and washing their breakfast bowls up.

[@diggerbarnes5708]

Lyndon looks an absolute natural at this .

[@JBAKES]

He is from New Zealand

[@JohnnyG1809]

@@JBAKES actually he is from Australia 🇦🇺👍🏼

[@qpremme]

How did they keep a straight face at first🤣🤣

[@leejackson7588]

My thoughts exactly 🤣

[@aabottom6390]

It seems to have worked wonders the team have been playing great since this bonding exercise.

[@Towerwatson525]

He's like the embarrassing old uncle at the wedding disco, in a world and era not the same as everyone else.

[@adamcollins915]

Who Ainsworth or Bruce Simpson?

[@ralphrex9118]

I met that guy on a managment training course, great to see the lads getting stuck in outside the box - let’s go!

[@matthewjubb8080]

Odds on we start doing the HAKA before kick off on Saturday?

[@JohnnyG1809]

Fantastic, if you can do something like this in front of your team mates that it helps to bond.

[@davidoconnell4371]

Would love them to do this before kickoff each game. It would really get the crowd going.

[@PaulhQPR]

Soon he’ll be getting the sacka…

[@johnbroome776]

Also show them repeats of the 75 /76 squad at regular appropriate Times, cos that’s how/who they should be inspired by ,🐈‍⬛

[@sharonmcbride3196]

Great idea!

[@george-wg6ug]

Effin brilliant ! 👍🟦⬜🟦⬜🟦

[@davidcooper3317]

As an Ex pat living in New Zealand for 16 years bringing in a bit of Maori culture and fighting spirit hopefully sinks in to a few heads. Would be nice to see results from a winning mentality

[@leejackson7588]

I love this I'm so excited. Gareth you are an absolute diamond♦️😁

[@stuartlilley9212]

Knob end more like!

[@stuartlilley9212]

Awesome GH best use of QPR money I have seen. Worked well for you last Saturday!

[@alexandermoonen6170]

Fantastic.Well done.

[@paulfraser3385]

can he play up front?

[@cormac3542]

chris martin is a likeable chap

[@johnmahon3503]

Different…. Not long to wait to see if it’ll work!

[@lawrencetheuniqueone]

I’m a Blackburn fan and am a NZ resident so get all sides off this video Best of luck for rest of season

[@terrywrist8448]

can this bruce bloke play up front ? to be honest it looked good the team looked like they were on the same page for once and a bonus their was only two players who suffered injuries from doing the haka

[@kegsie100]

Are we going to be doing that at Rotherham Saturday?

[@BigStiffWilly]

You'll be dropping 3 points

[@djstabilo100]

This worked wonders

[@adamcollins915]

Josh opening the door & trying to keep a straight face.

[@jonowhitney5515]

Love it…

[@Chris-sy4yt]

Presumably no pre match Haka before the Blackpool game then?

[@louminati4318]

Why stop there. Bring in a Peruvian shaman to bless the Loft and those who sit in it.

[@terrywrist8448]

how about some morris dancing to get the blood flowing in the players

[@johndasilva2686]

I’ve been a QPR since the early 1970s so if the Maori spirit helps that’s great.. I think Ant Middleton & the SAS staff would also help. Come on you R,s.

[@007sweetkitten]

That's awesome 🤩

[@sambernaldross8504]

richards looks like he wants to top himself jesus

[@ThePercyGreen]

“I don’t agree with that in the werkplace!”

[@AlfieEdworthy]

We’re going down aren’t we

[@parmaman8551]

Surely these sort of exercises should be at the start of the season not towards the end, even if the manager has just stepped through the door?

[@nigelbaldwin1038]

Didn’t realise Hugills holiday experience in New Zealand was that bad ……

[@TRUCKSTOP2024]

We played Rotherham after this and LOST 3-1 seemed to really heip

[@TRUCKSTOP2024]

Maybe bring in a football expert or manager to coach Ainsworth shocking

[@Powerhousefc10]

❤Gareth ainsworth absolute legend ⚽️

[@jesoby]

Wait for the accusation of cultural appropriation despite the instructor

[@npc-np7dc]

Chrissy Willock has given up 🤣

[@anasgraham2026]

As a life long QPR fan who is also an FA licienced Coach Level 2 it was great to see that team bonding example bringing in the New Zealand Haka , i remember when i played American Football in the UK leagues we used to do the Mawri stance and beat the pads on our thighs which syked us up as a team which made us feel invincible😆i hope even more so now every QPR player can fight for each other out on the pitch which is the fundamental significance of the 'HAKA' which was like a' battle shout'😆👍👌great stuff

[@carlowman6669]

Roberts is out for another 4 weeks after slapping his thigh too hard with his hand. He also broke 2 finger nails.

[@senydieng732]

Oh well, league one will be fun...

[@aaaabbbb2483]

I guess this didn’t really work 😂 6-1 to Blackpool 🤦‍♂️ 😂

[@andrewandronicou4280]

We definitely need therapy now howwwwawaooo

[@adamcollins915]

Seems Gareth was so chuffed about this idea, he filmed it.

[@matthewwilliams8339]

The players don't give a shit 🤣

[@adamcollins915]

No wonder the QPR players have downed tools. Social media have been laughing at there reactions.

[@alfieblake3878]

No wonder we're shit

[@DC42087]

Id focus on defending more lads the ammount of shit goals we give away smh

[@howardlilley5970]

Could have done with him upfront against Rotherham,You are A Genius Gareth.This is why you will take this Club Places 👍

[@noahandrews5345]

I Know Bruce Simpsons Daughter I Use to go to here school

Shoulda done that last night .....TADGERS ...C'mon the LEEEEEEDS .😂

[@adamcollins915]

QPR lost 6-1 yesterday.

[@bigboy0625]

Anything for a good laugh they all look so interested 😂 this is just a tourist money maker in 2023 it means nothing.

[@Natrfc1]

No wonder yous got done 6-1

[@laggerb0y]

That curse.

[@nigelbaldwin1038]

This is the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen. Haemorrhaging money,and they pay for this 🙀.

[@caltblake6112]

its not working guys lol you rssssss

[@idavukify]

This is one of the worst things I've ever seen 😂😂😂

[@georgeboron9878]

I’ve been through quite a few teamwork-building classes and exercises. Sorry, but have to say, in comparison, this one is pretty lame. Lots of yelling and arm waving but no real substance. I don’t know how much the management paid this guy but they should’ve kept it to invest in a striker.

[@gehrhardtschneider]

Embarrassing

[@BaggyCreature49]

I’d hand in a transfer request and say I lost my hamstring until the window opens. I get team building and doing more than just turning up and kicking a ball but this is so busy, cringe and embarrassing ffs 😂

[@JohnnyG1809]

Clearly you just don’t understand the purpose of the experience.
