Opinion Potter should be our coach!

[Hansta]

No.

He’s also said he has no interest in it past this season.

I wonder if he still holds that opinion if they start winning consistently. He probably thought I dont want to be coaching a losing team

 

[speedy2460]

It was a bit like the Ted Glossop coached team. The Entertainers.

 

[DinkumDog]

He didn’t rule out taking the job full-time

And he’s just done it again in the presser despite a gag that he ‘prefers playing tennis in his spare time’…

 

[Dingo]

He had the team performing at the standard Barrett should have had us at by now.

Yes he just said in the presser that when you have a win it gives you a different mindset…

 

[Philmus]

Why not ?

i know you’re all over flanno’s phallus but how can you deny what potter has done in 2 weeks?

 

[Rassayri]

We've already signed our new coach

Who is he ?

 

[dogzofwar]

Bit premature lol if the guy can get us our first back to back wins since 1962 he might be in the conversation

 

[KiwiDog7]

Who still thought we could lose still with 10 to go?

That’s what the past 5 years has done to me man

 

[Malla]

We are improving with him as coach.

Says more about how much Barrett was holding them back

 

[senshidog]

Is it entirely possible our new coach has already signed on and is having direct input to Potter and co?

Is it entirely possible Potter is actually auditioning for a assistant coaching job along said new coach?

Surely Sandercock and Furner are on the outer (if not already gone).

I hear Steve Turner is working with our attack at the moment.

I think I’m starting to agree with the suggestion of Potter being the coach. And I think it’s Gus’ plan all along .
Potter gets the bulldog culture, unlike those before him he’s freed up our attack. We’re scoring points now, that takes enormous pressure off our defence. I think he’s gone back to basics and coaches to our strengths. We’ll have more strength areas to come next year too.

 

[Malla]

No

 

[Sword]

The "Kiss method" is how I always coached with great success and this is what Potter seems to be doing.
(Keep It Simple Stupid!)

Yes - proven time and time again.
Many of the great coaches are masters at the KISS principle

 

[Benno Bulldog]

He is our Coach, he's doing great job. Loved this game Mick knows fuk Parra.

 

[c-b-b]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Gus is deflecting attention away from Potter giving him an audition without any pressure.

 

[Realist90]

It’s one game ffs. This is the issue with the higher ups in their decisions hiring did dean pay then Barrett, one said the right things “I’ll bring the dna back”, the other had a couple first grade wins. Can’t keep hiring men based on impulse or words they speak. We want to win the grand final not win a couple games here and there and act like we’ve achieved something.
Great game tonight though.

Kennel at its finest, so reactive haha

Makes me think someone these kennel people are on the board making decisions.

Our last 4 Full time coaching stats:

Kevin Moore - 2009-2011 - Games Coached - 49 W: 27 - L: 22 = 55% Winning Strike Rate

Des Hasler - 2012-2017 - Games Coached - 155 W: 88 - L: 67 = 57% WSR

Dean Pay - 2018-2020 - Games Coached - 57 W: 19 - L: 38 = 33% WSR

Trent Barrett - 2021-2022 - Games Coached - 34 W: 5 - L: 29 = 15% WSR

Mick Potter has had good success in the ESL starting out with a 46% WSR with Catalans Dragons then increasing that percentage to a very healthy 72% at St Helens winning all but 19 of the 68 games he coached there. Dropped off to 43% at Bradford, then 35% at the West Tigers which was a tough time for not only Potter but the club as Benji and Farah were jealous of who had the biggest egos around that time and both eventually left. Overall his coaching career at these clubs has been a respectable 50% WSR.

Mick said himself he's learnt a lot since those days and is more relaxed and happy to be back coaching First Grade. He sits on 1 win from 4 games with us at 25% and if we can put back to back wins next week against the Tigers then that will go up to 40% and if we can make it 3 over the Sharks the week after that then his WSR goes to 50%.

Makes me think someone these kennel people are on the board making decisions.

What's so reactive though?...he's experienced. He got shafted by Farrah and Benji and an inexperienced board at the Tigers. He's turned the team around. He at the very deserves assistance position.
