Daily Telegraph/Rothfield Bulldogs contact David Furner to join Trent Barrett’s coaching staff

[Kempsey Dog]

He aims to have both attacking and defensive assistant coaches

Adrian Lam would be great for attack... Probs not him though

 

[Family Guy]

im sure he would be hands on with the attack and the halves.

Yeah I hope so. You wouldnt want him to take on the role of man manager and delegate all the attack to someone else considering the great job he's done at the Panthers. As long as the attacking coach has no idea what Desball is, I'll be happy

 

[Malla]

I can't remember the last time we had an assistant that was a first grade caliber coach.

 

[David holland]

In all seriousness I'd like Barrett to be a career coach at Canterbury,I think his in touch with players and I feel he needs to set some very high standards,I think Melbourne leads in this area because there had some real champions down there that are natural leaders,Slater,Smith and cronk

 

[Baseball Furies]

Furner is a hard prick, we need a bit of that.

 

[boggie23]

I'm surprised there hasn't been and article saying that Barrett is considering a backflip to coach his beloved Dragons, a team that he took to the 1999 grand final against the Storm. Barrett who played the majority of his career at Illawarra and the dragons is a favourite son of the side, and since the sacking of Mcgregor have sounded out whether he is happy with the Dogs deal

Hopefully he doesn't contact Pay about the madness he was trying to implement

As long as Barrett makes our team fitter, makes our defence ruthless (think desperate goal line defence, compared to our misreads, and our running out of the line tackling air).

Dogs have never been a team with the biggest names, but they have always been a team that once you wear your jersey you overachieve. We have the hardness and the grit to win. If Barrett can get us into a position with fitness, attack and defence to be like that, I'd be happy. Even if it does take 4-5 years to win a title.

We haven't had overchievers for a long time

I remember Gus saying Furner is the guy that no one will go near in sparring sessions when he was playing for NSW and was renowned as having the “best hands” in the competition...

The only time I ever recall Tallis opting out of some biff is when he realised it was Furner - I’ll alway remember that look on Tallis’s face.

 

[doggieaaron]

I think he wants to be a part of a championship team again

 

[2ndphase]

Pay rise or to live in Sydney

Shitney!!

 

[Family Guy]

Shitney!!

Considering you're from the Gold Coast I can cop that. If you were from Victoria I would have told you to go fuck yourself

 

[JackDog]

Siebs rumoured to be contacted about going to the Knights as an assistant to replace the rumoured leaving of Furner.

Again, from the Shittograph, via Fox...so take from it what you will
