SmhAnthony Griffin with Asst Coach of Pay/OBrien/Demetriou
SmhAnthony Griffin with Asst Coach of Pay/OBrien/Demetriou
You really are set on Griffin aren't you? Considering the talent he had at the Broncos (not renewed to let Bennett back) plus the support network he had at Penrith (sacked for Cleary) and the lack of premierships I just can see why you have such a hard on for him. Bellamy moved him on when he was assistant at Melbourne and more recently Gould moved him on from Penrith. Them's 2 pretty good judges of coaching ability. He's got a decent win loss record in the regular season, but his finals' record isn't that great. TBH I'm just not sold on him.Anthony Griffin with Asst Coach of Pay/OBrien/Demetriou
And even fewer who are available.The new coach must be able to oversee the compiling of a virtually totally new roster and will need to be very experienced and calculating.
The pressure to succeed will be immense cos the knives will be out. It must be someone who has the total respect of the players, press, fans and Board, with leadership qualities and great man management to get a new team to gell. So the systems must be tried and true and very successful.
There's very few who fit that bill.
It's hard to see Pay arresting this decline and holding on after the end of this season for mine.And even fewer who are available.
If we are to change the coach for 2021 then I'd like to see us at the very latest pick and sign the one we choose mid 2020 and give Pay the news, both with NDA's until after the regular season. That way he has couple of months to work out who he wants (players and staff) with no pressure of actually coaching week to week. Then a couple of months to sign the ones up that he can before the pre season training starts. That gives a full pre season working with the new players and the new coach. it'll never work that way, of course.

1. He's got the best career winning percentage of any available coach at the moment.You really are set on Griffin aren't you?

What's this weeks lotto numbers then?I have a really good clairvoyant, never wrong
Now the lunatics wanna run the asylum. FMDYes let's organise to stand against the current Board in the February 2020 elections. Surely we could compile a viable alternative including well respected ex-players, administrators, sports people, prominent fans and members. Maybe that possible threat will get the current board more proactive to turn this sinking ship around?
It was tongue in check stuff and never meant as a viable option. Read all the posts.Now the lunatics wanna run the asylum. FMD
I thought dino and the dinosaurs where running the club???It was tongue in check stuff and never meant as a viable option. Read all the posts.
Not everyone and I'd appreciate you to afford a retraction in order to not associate me with the mentioned decision!A lot of people might not remember this, but when Lichaa wasn't re-signed by Des, he started playing well. For 3 games he killed it and EVERYONE here was asking for him to be re-signed. Now, those same people are calling for his head.
Hypocritically hilarious.
Wrong to say EVERYONENot everyone and I'd appreciate you to afford a retraction in order to not associate me with the mentioned decision!
As for Pay, the board can manage a dignified exit for him and sincerely hope they bother to do so and both he and they find a role within the club that he's more suited towards, as he deserves some respect both as a player and also willing to step in that handle the poisoned chalice that no other wanted!
He does need to go though.
As for the board, their role is separate from day to day runnings, yet there are multiple reports/whispers of regular micro-management, which is never a good thing at that level.
Another thing for perspective, if there was a relegation system, it would be our reserves/CC that replace us this season, who are at the top of the table!
The reserves would give our FG a run for their money and actually probably result in an upset the way our FG are playing.
There is a future, all you have to do is look at the lower grades.
We are in the top 8 in 4 lower grades.
