Toovey was 2nd in contention until TBAZ and his silver tongue sold the world to the Andersons.
Pretty solid, but, he’s another Manly old boy.
Shane Sr for me.
Don't mind Toovey, but not sure I can handle another Manly old boy taking the reigns. My pick would be Anderson or Flanagan, tried and tested.

1. Shane Flanagan
daylight
2. Cameron Ciraldo
3. John Morris
daylight
more daylight
4. Anthony Seibold

I'd probably have Billy Slater as #2 on potential but he wasn't on the list. There's really only 1 option.

Why have two people mentioned John Morris, his win % with this Sharks squad minus Hynes is 47%, he is an assistant and that's it. Some of the coaches in that list had some very average squads with better win rates

Flanagan It's a no brainer & he will take the job because of his son
I rate Flanagan, but people seem to think Sr and Jnr Flanno are going to form a Cleary type father son combo, I just don't think that is going to happen, not to say Flanno junior can't be a serviceable half, he just needs other elite spine players around him

I know there are people on here who have their concerns regarding Shane Flanagan and rightly so. But seriously he is the best available coach out there.
You know, what has he really done so bad?
A. He emailed a player when banned? Big *expletive* whoop.
B. Peptides.
I know that’s a big deal for some, but cmon. It’s not like players would be strung out of their head. Needles all over the change rooms and tourniquets ties to players arms as they are slumped in a chair dribbling.
All he did was have the (smart) initiative to invest in a sports scientist to gain an edge through fitness and optimum performance and he placed his faith in a sports doctor taht ti this day, believes he didn’t break any laws.
Peptides are not drugs. They facilitate cell growth. It’s a grey area, much greyer then than now.
Flanno ain’t Stephen Dank and Dank didn’t even think he was doing anything wrong and I don’t think he did either when looking at the laws at the time.

The only true negative at the time was It potentially aggravated Jonny Manna’s cancer death. A Lebanese player who died and who I was friends with in real life.
