Honestly my view is split.

There wasn’t this hype about him for Baz. Baz already flopped at manly.

This could be more like fitzy who is going pretty well and had a bit of hype.

Also kikau and Mahoney with Baz would of been better. So naturally only positive to the roster plus more spuds gone and a lot more $ to spend with Gus there now controlling that (wasn’t when the other spuds were signed)

Then other side is anyone could look good coaching panthers. Ivan in my opinion isn’t a good coach. He’s shown at warriors and panthers before he’s meh (not saying he’s shit) just certainly not someone I rate extremely highly. More his roster is insane when he has been good. Like Trent Robinson. He’s only ever done anything with rosters any serviceable coach could do. He’s flopped without it.
Didn't set the world on fire at the tigers either.

Unrealistically, Bellamy in 2024... lol

Realistically, Flanno or Ciraldo.
And Gus has already passed on Flanno. Flanno threw himself at our feet, when the job first became available, and he said no one returned his calls. Otherwise there's no need to delay Flannos announcement

Ciraldo is the only option left

If we get Ciraldo I hope Flanagan is appointed as one of his assistants. It would be like an insurance policy and he can then easily take over if Ciraldo turns out to be another Barrett. There's a spot available also with Furner leaving.

Something tells me he has signed a Coach that's under contract.

BUT

If Ciraldo is a hard **** then I'd be happy to have him.

Flanagan Senior went on a big press one whoring himself out

Just struggle to see how he could persuade a good coach (under contract) to break what they already have and come to us because the good coaches have teams that they have built at the moment.

As I said I like what Potter has done and wouldn't mind another season with him where he gets a fair crack at it

But other than that no one stands out as either attractive or available

Initially I didn’t want Ciraldo because I was still butt hurt from what the so called attacking genius Baz gave us

But like I said earlier Gus must think he’s the guy so he’s the guy
