My two cents.
I agree with those that no coach around is on paper as good as Des. Bellamy sure quality coach, that said he has been gifted the best spine in the world for a decade? Wayne? Knights showed he can't do miracles either without the roster. Take away Milford, Boyd, Hunt and see how he goes again.
Outside of those 2 there is not a single coach I would say is even in the debate.
I think the BEST outcome for the club here is Des sees this shit isn't going to fly. The way we are playing isn't going to work. It may have been close and probz should of in 2012, though that time has gone. We have lost guys like Barba, Ennis, Pritchard, Finucane, Inu etc who were a huge part of that.
That door has shut.
If Des is prepared to accept that, to strip shit back to the bare and put together a new game plan and more importantly he and the board/CEO (who in my opinion needs to be sacked instantly) address the major issues on the roster like a part time centre playing fullback and a fucking dominate half be bought ASAP along with fucking off Lichaa/Tolman then I am all for Des staying on and shit being reworked.
If not I see 2017 as a write off and no real positive in sight as there is no coach and no quality additions to our roster in sight.
Dymock or Cleary or whoever (fuck off Carty) might go ok though the roster is really not that good when you take your Dogs glasses off. Morris bro's, Graham are looking passed it. Mbye is massively over hyped. Kasiano is fucking great, for 10 minutes each half. Jackson & Klemmer are the only two high quality players we have these days.
We need a major overhaul on the roster. Be it Des or Dymock we need to make some tough calls and cut Tolman, Lichaa. We need to potentially plan Graham, Morris bro's to UK etc, Hoppa to church. Go for and ACTUALLY GET someone like Tedesco/Holmes/Ponga etc for fullback to build around. Along with a quality half to help fucking build a squad to ATTACK again.
If Des can accept the massive change needed in our style and game plan. Go and tell Lichaa & Tolman to go. Move Mbye to 9, throw some of there money at Ponga and put him at 1. If Hoppa won't play Sundays fuck him off and sign a decent centre to replace him or give Brenko Lee a go and use his money on a quality half with Tolmans and whatever is left over from Williams, Browne, Rona, Perrett etc fucking going. Fuck Lloyd off if need be to have some decent money FFS.
