POLL : Available Coaches and Coaching Records - Choose your poison.

[MichaelM]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Mick Potter stepped in as caretaker

 

[Bacon_Muffin]

There isn't a lot of talent available but what about Brian Smith.

He never won a grand final but has a great record of going to clubs and getting rid of dead wood and building them up to be a force again.
Let him get us back to the top again until while we take our time finding that coach who can take a top 4 side to a premiership.

 

[TwinTurbo]

Why does any of that matter though?
The fact is he did the wrong thing - whether that was on purpose or through poor management (trusting Dank). Don’t forget he was also suspended a second time for breaking the terms of his original suspension, which his own boss dobbed him in for. Then there’s questions around the cap of that title winning team. The bloke is supremely arrogant. I say let him stay with the Steelers and PNG RL and we keep looking.

You and I don't often disagree DD, but on this one it seems we do.

Danks sucked in a lot people, in a lot of different sports, many far more experienced than SFlanagan was back then and he has learned a lot in the subsequent 11 years. I am sure you are aware, but others may not, some peptides are OK, approved for use by the ASDA and WADA. Peptides are also a common ingredient in many cosmetics. When a sports scientist says "my peptides are legal" and are used by teams such as Manly, Souths, Tigers, Penrith and St George as well as Essendon in the AFL. Yes, SFlanagan amongst many others was found guilty and he has served his time.

On the "coaching while suspended", there was conflicting legal advice that said coaching did not include talking to players about coaching them when his ban was over. The legal advise was based on the differentiation between "recruitment managers" (unpaid) and "coaches". The bottom line is that some clubs complained about him talking to their players and the NRL didn't like that he was recruiting players for the subsequent season, when he actually was allowed to coach. We can sit on whatever side of that legal argument we want, but in the end we know the result. It's not as black and white as some journalists would have us believe.

That's my 20 cents, FWIW.

Always a Bulldog

I originally thought Green but Morris done a great job with the Sharks in the time he was there.

All good Turbo.
My view is the buck still stops with the coach unless it goes higher to the executive office.
Despite all these items I find the bloke supremely arrogant and don’t think he’s a good fit.
And believe me I want us to win!

Anyone else and we're still F'd

 

[berries1935]

I’d love to see Michael Ennius involved. He is passionate and need people who aren’t afraid to hold people accountable

 

[Scoooby]

FLANNO has to be the one, he’s the most proven of the top bunch. Besides we have his son to lure him here. It’s really a no brainer and it works, makes the most Sense !! Get it done GUS, use the bait and land him.!!!

 

[Raysie]

I want winners at the club. Guys that would break rules to get to the top if they have to.

His son may be a dope, but Daddy Flanagan can coach and will do whatever it takes to win.

 

[Jai81]

Morris is no different to T-baz FFS!!!!
hes just gonna be mates with the players we need a tougher coach!

I wouldn't mind him as an assistant, especially if Shane Flanagan is appointed. Go get James Graham involved with the forwards too.

 

[COVENS]

There should be no rush to hire his replacement. Interview and hire the best fit, talk of Paul Green and John Morris is ridiculous imo.

 

[CroydonDog]

i think it can't be a rookie. We've just had two of those. Not saying they can't be successful though.

Is anyone going to want the bloody job? Its going to take balls of steel and some serious determination to turn this ship around.

He also hasn't coached since super league 6 years ago, if you don't include one offs like coahcing Thailand in 2017... i think he was a good coach in his time, but surely the game has well and truly passed him.

It's still pretty attractive imo.

Get what you're saying, but I feel there must be some serious structural issues at the club too though. There's going to be more to it than just guiding 17 guys on the paddock.

 

[NallaC]

Flanagan as much as I would prefer someone else. He is the only experienced premiership winning coach available

Who's daylight and whats his coaching record like?

 

[The DoggFather]

Hence why I want an interim coach and take our time for 2023.
