Potter was good IMO. Was done wrong by the board and CEO at the time, Grant Mayer. Was given absolutely no recruitment power, coaching selection ability or anything else.Anyone but Hasbeen now will do me... well, except Jason Taylor or Mick Potter, apparently they are useless
Adrian who??Was on stereo tonight, think would be a great coach not hard when compared to SuperCoach .... only going off game insights and comments and was a terrific player
Thoughts?
PS: I know desball is in play for 2 more years but let me dream a little.
Good one GrogDog!Wasn't Billy Johnstone a "filthy Qlder"? That was the last time we were fit!
At least a Queenslander will know how to win!!I don't want no filthy QLDer coaching my team. Des is bad enough.
There are certain QLDers I'd take, but they MUST BE EX BULLDOGS.At least a Queenslander will know how to win!!
* Jason HetheringtonThere are certain QLDers I'd take, but they MUST BE EX BULLDOGS.
Here is a list of QLDers I'd take even though they have no track record:
Heck even a QLD cane toad will have more knowledge than Des! Cane toads breed like crazy, so they maybe they can give the Bulldogs some pointers on "how to score."
- Darren Smith
- Craig Polla-Mounter
- Travis Norton
Both Robinson and Maguire won championships in the ESL so they had plenty of experience and Flanagan got the job because the Sharks were broke and couldn't afford to pay a coach so it would be wrong to suggest that picking up a coach for $400k would be easy. There wouldn't be an NRL coach on less than $600k. Most of them work to the unwritten rule that they get whatever the highest paid player in the side gets as a minimum.People always argued who would we get to replace Hasler? Anyone!
Flanagan, Robinson and McGuire all had no first grade coaching experience in the NRL when they took over and all have won a premiership since Hasbeen took over and ruined this club.
People just assume because he's re-signed it's impossible to sack him because of the payout. But if we sign a rookie head coach and pay them the minimum then how much extra is the club paying? 300-400k?
As if getting our club back from a tyrant isn't worth that outlay. And that's assuming they'd have to pay out the full contract. Which, if they fire him today I doubt they would have to as you could negotiate the figure down seeing as he'd have two years to find another job while still getting paid. Bottom line, sack Hasler and get anyone else in his place!
Dymock has been corrupted by hasler.Whats the difference between Lam and Dymock? Would much rather Dymock (if he wants to) over Lam.
I know that both were in the ESL and had some success there but my point is everyone is unproven and unknown until they've coached NRL. Everyone was doubting the Robinson signing when the roosters got him and he's been great.Both Robinson and Maguire won championships in the ESL so they had plenty of experience and Flanagan got the job because the Sharks were broke and couldn't afford to pay a coach so it would be wrong to suggest that picking up a coach for $400k would be easy.

Oh yeah! With that record he'd be a great fit at the Bulldogs.Lam was helping coach on The NRL Rookie. Seemed knowledgable, but not sure he's decent coach material.
Coached PNG ... 18 matches, 3 wins, 14 losses, 1 draw.
And from memory he was a half back, which is what we need to get our halves going the right way.He was a real handy player, someone remind me of his coaching exploits? Think he coached the PNG team? My guess is he would teach alot of attack.
Very nice shot that. And its a six!Wasn't Billy Johnstone a "filthy Qlder"? That was the last time we were fit!
Que Brett Kimmorley!!I know we want Des gone, but i hope if we do offload him, that we would go for a coach with at least some experience. If we go for an unknown id rather it be an ex dogs player.
I'll take my Grand Mum for a coach at the moment, better that the idiot who coaching nowWas on stereo tonight, think would be a great coach not hard when compared to SuperCoach .... only going off game insights and comments and was a terrific player

The fact it's P'ng and they had 3 wins is an achievement if des had coached them would be a perfect losing recordOh yeah! With that record he'd be a great fit at the Bulldogs.
