Morning all (actually, not good morning, whats fucking good about it..),The weird thing about Hook is he coached for 173 1st Grade games for Broncs and Chocolate soldiers for a 96/76 win-loss ratio of 55%..? I wonder how many 1st grade coaches have a better win %?
Craig Bellamy 69%
Trent Robinson 63% (Sombrero cap)
Wayne Bennett 62%
Des Hasler 58%
A Seibold 56%
A Griffin 55%
P Green 53%
M Maguire 51%
R Stuart 50%
B Arthur 48%
Ivan Cleary 47%
P McGregor 47%
J Morris 44%
D Pay 36%
S Kearney 35%
I did not bother with O'Brien or Holbrook as they a 1st year coaches.
At the very least we could look at bringing Hook in as a Football manager/Advisor for Pay, considering he has hands on experience at the Storm, Broncos and under Gould at Penrith he would come relatively cheap and bring a wealth of knowledge??
Just got head my head up out of the toilet bowl long enough to post some dribble after developing severe fandisgustdogsarse disease watching that fucking rubbish last night. I have been guilty of defending Pay on a number of occasions particularly last year because as its been widely discussed he was working with a handicapped roster and cap.
However, this is year 3 and after they way we finished last year we should be at least 1 or 2 wins from 3 by now and not 0/3 and rapidly going backwards each game they way we have.
If we really are talking of making immediate change and I can certainly see the argument for it, I think Griffin is the answer for us because;
- He would be busting to have another crack at the NRL
- Would be relatively cheap
- Would make some needed changes to player positions and selections
- Would still have players from Broncs and Penrith that might be interested in playing under him again
- Could be Coach with Pay as assistant (if club want to save face and give Pay a soft landing)
- Or could be employed as Pays boss as football manager
- Could be a short term contract with KPI's that let allows him to win a contract extension based only on performance
- Allows club to still look at and chase a Supercoach like a Bellamy if available
- Would provide immediate impact for teams form with just using the talent we have in the correct positions, Smith Wing, DWZ Wing or possibly Centre, Hoppa Fullback unless we sign a gun or Averillo makes it his position, etc etc..
- HAS A 55% WIN RATIO FROM 173 GAMES...
We DONT need another fucking assistant with stars in their eyes. Griffo could be just the quick fix band aid we need to save the situation and still give us a shot at using the so called war chest to attract the right players. No one wants to play for a losing team and if they do its only about the money.
For sponsors, marque players, memberships and any longevity for this current board they need to act not just talk about having a plan. Like Tyson said (please insert lispy voice) "everyone has a plan and till they get punched in the mouth"....
