I don't think it matters who else. Pay can see out his contract and we need to plan for someone else. With our cap in a better position we will be able to get interest. Kev Waters, Toovey, Demetriou, Flannagan or someone in England....literally anyone
- Walters has said he only wants to coach Queensland - he's desperate to win another Origin series having lost the last two.
- Demetriou has signed a long term extension with Soufs to take over from Bennett from 2022
So they are both out
- Toovey hasn't coached in more than 5 years - and after Des I just don't think we want any more Manly syndrome at Belmore - especially if he's going to give his mates a nice superannuation top-up on the Dogs (Foran, Williams)
- Flanagan cannot head coach until 2022 under his current parole and I'd vote against any Bulldog board that wanted to employ that cheating grub anyway
So England it is!
Ben Anderson is coming through but not sure how good he is and there would be screams of nepotism if he got a gig anyway!
