Opinion Genuine coaching preference question?

[Bulldogs09]

After this game I’m firmly in the pro Flanagan camp.

How about you lads?

My fear is if Freddy is seriously hired it’s Trent 2.0

Best mate coach that is not going to change shit.

We clearly have a roster issue. Coaching issue. Training issue.

That said we need a man that will not be their best mate and cuddle these *****.

Bellamy is the type of coach we dream of. It’s just that a dream.

We need to look at what’s available and a chance. He at least is in my opinion a hard nose **** that will hold them accountable.

That with guys like kikau instead of waddle. Mahoney instead of junk. It’s the right direction.

Freddy will attract talent to the club no doubt which is why his name has been thrown around.

Flanagan for mine is the best pick by a mile as he joined a club in a similar situation to ours and got a result.

Flanno 10000000%%%% always have been pro !!

 

[NallaC]

Flanagan is the best option from those available.

But when he gives up the NSW job to take our job, will he still attract talent?

IMO no coach, Apart from Bellamy, would attract more players to Belmore than Gus.

Fittler would purely be the face of Gus' brains at the dogs.

Tbh I'm getting to the point where I don't care. I doubt Freddy is in serious consideration - Gus knows he's not a club coach. Flanno has drama surrounding him, based on his past, his son and the type of person he appears to be. I'm thinking it might be someone totally left field. It's another lost year, I'm sick of getting my hopes up for the past 5-6 years only to produce a few wins.

 

[steeliz]

Shane Flanagan without Kyle.

With Kyle we will struggle.

 

[bradtalo]

We're lucky a coach of Flanagan's success is available really. If we sign anyone ahead of him we're just further proving shy we're f..ked at the moment.

Flanagan with Walsh at 1 and Hastings at 7 or Munster at 6 and we're back as serious contenders

Now Walsh at 1 would be brilliant.....would like Moses at 7...otherwise Drinkwater

 

[bradtalo]

Moses even better if we can afford him and Walsh

 

[KiwiDog7]

I’m leaning towards Wolfe

or he might evolve and they become like the Cleary's

How far left of centre? Billy slater left of centre??

 

[chuckynemo]

Bring in Flanagan. The inconvenient reality is that we will only be able to win with some extra help. Flanagan has had plenty of experience with peptides and that's the help we need.

 

[maroondog72]

TBH we can speculate about the new coach all we want, we can wish all we want for a particular coach but none of it will make any difference to who Gus has already selected. I think the guy’s pushing for flanno will be disappointed but I can’t be fucked investing any more energy worrying about it. So when Gus tells us who it is then I’ll worry about. Until then it was a what it is.

Haha, maybe not Billy but perhaps someone from the UK.

The more I think about it Flanno seems desperate and keeps putting himself in the shop window, it doesn’t seem like he’s had any real discussions with the club. But all guesses mate, I have no inside info.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Anyone but Fitler

 

[senshidog]

I have a feeling the decision has already been made, and the deal possibly already done. No point sitting around with a few other coaches under threat and potentially losing the best option. We did that before with Holbrook.

We won't go the route of a coach that doesn't have NRL experience, so that lowers the field considerably.

Short of Flanno there's really only Seibold (who is in UK coaching), Neil Henry (who tactically is brilliant but not a coach I see as reforming a club), Paul Green (whom had most of his coaching success with Thurston/Taumalolo/etc) and when Thurston retired Cowboys went right downhill and he resigned).

Toovey is another option but I don't think he has an interest in coaching again, and John Cartwright is busy as Asst Coach at Cowboys now.

Yeah I get the feeling the new coach was appointed at the end of last year none of this shit just happened, Gus is going to pull a rabbit out of his ass.

With the baggage that comes with Flanno Snr the only decent option I think is the Wolfe guy from UK. Green failed at the Cowboys after JT retired and the other coaches with NRL experience that are available next year won't lead this club to a GF.
