I still remember the day when I was 6 and i wanted his autograph when he stopped by the local newsagency in Lakemba.. nervous and star struck as shit. Absolute giant and never forget how bad his haircut was. I think he was going for the fresh prince look.
Mate, assuming there'll be a new coach next year, how long do you think they'll give him to change things around?
Did you shake his hand? Thats the biggest hand ive ever seen. Lol
We're not the Bunnies, we don't have a CEO, our chairman had to get this right-Penna is not the answer.
I'd give him to the end of 2019 or 2020, mainly due to some major player contracts ending next year. It'd give him time to see how he would build the team and where he would take them.
So who recruited Penna, given the Board took all of Des' recruitment authority away from him last year and then proceeded to get rid of all his previous staff and replace them with Penna? I'm not saying he's the one they want but I think it is fair to ask why was he recruited if he wasn't believed to be a future FG coach. I seem to recall at the time he was held in pretty high regard by some people - me, I don't know much about him. why would we think Holbrook is a better bet than Georgalis or Pay for example? I'll worry about all this if and when the announcement about Des comes. Until then we are just looking for something to amuse ourselves until pre-season training starts.
Don't see why people would rate pay that much higher than dymock. I'd be happy with either but canberra aren't playing finals footy either and apart from last year hadn't been involved for a while. I think pay was at the eels with stuart at one stage as well
Exactly. That's the kennel for you. Last month they wanted lichaa dropped and today they want him re-signed for life
You'd have to think dymock would leave if we recruit pay. It'd be a massive slap in the face considering pay is no more qualified than him for the role. Theres no logical reason it wouldn't go to dymock unless the club somewhat blame dymock for the team underperforming in which case shouldn't his job be in danger as well?Exactly. That's the kennel for you. Last month they wanted lichaa dropped and today they want him re-signed for life
But I agree with what you said. More or less both are an unknown entity (fair enough dymock had half a dozen wins in the nrl as caretaker). You can't say pay had more "runs" on the board so to say. If dymock underperformed under Hasler then the same thing should be said about pay (wasn't he the defensive coach? And didn't the raiders cop about 500 points this season?).
Anyways either way they can't be worse then Hasler who only got 1 top 4 in 6 years and was the highest paid coach in the nrl.
The only thing for dymock is he deserves a shot (he even deserved to finish the year as caretaker to show what he has got). He had a long apprenticeship under Moore and Hasler. He should have been head coach in 12 but we shafted him. He stuck around another 6 years.
The guy has been involved with the coaching team at city and nsw origin he is the coach of tonga. He was seen as a revolutionary new coach coming through and is well supported in the league by players, media and fans. And most importantly in his short stint in the nrl he dropped under performers something it took Hasler 4 years to do with trex.
I'll be happy with either pay or dymock. But my vote will be jimmy. Even though he sounds funny when he speaks
That was not Dymock's hand he was shaking.....it was another part of his own anatomy!
Exactly. Doubt he will stick around. Only thing I can think of with pay is if he can do an Arthur and snag a few ex players to bring across with him. Cotric and sezar wouldn't be a bad start if he could
lol. lol. And with our current board that will look more likely 
Kinda agree with you
I still have a footy card with that photo lmao.. Dymock you killed it.
