Completely agree. For me pay is a bit of a risk. Ok he has coached well at junior level but he is a fresh face at NRL Level. He could be the next brad Arthur and come in, shake things up and attract a new brand and new players to the club. Or he could be a Nathan brown. You don't know.Nothing really appeals to me about pay. Our defensive systems have always been stout, we need a superior tactician, someone willing to invest time in the spine and stuff. Maybe he's this type of coach
Jimmy d fits the bill, but it remains to be seen if he actually wants to do Des ball. But Des ball seems to be a thing of the past... so maybe he can lead us forward. To me he seems like a thinker. But not a quack like des.
I like hagan as a potential director/Gm. he was always the brain behind Queensland with mal being a figurehead. No doubt being around that Queensland team would have sharpened his own mind up... mixing it up cam smith and cronk. Be great to bring that knowledge into the dogs and further develop our halves.
I'll agree that dymock deserves his shot. He took us with a win from a finals series in 2011, he started the preseason in 2012 which was our best year under Hasler. 12 was supposed to be his season and he was robbed. But the only thing is if he was to take over he should have done so last month. Give him a shot and let him input his ideas and structures while our season was over. See if anything would change then make a decision on him. Or better yet we should have sacked Hasler after round 10 instead of re-signing him before round 3 and given dymock 16 rounds as interim.
And all the people that say jimmy is just as bad a Hasler and he is institutionalised. Ennis looked like a pensioner in his final few years in the blue and white. But changed clubs and won a premiership. So we can safely say micks form was representative of haslers structure and game plan. I have no reason to doubt why dymock can't still have a successful career post Hasler. At the end of the day Kearney was under Bellamy and Bennett and is a flop of a coach.
Hasler was dymocks "boss". How often would you shit on your boss and do your own thing? Maybe he was just following orders?
One thing about jimmy is he was always involved with NSW origin in one form or another and was always touted as a first grade coach. Panthers almost appointed him but they wanted an establish coach before they got Cleary.
I think if we go for an inexperienced coach it should be dymock. It would be a slap in the face if we get pay and dymock is his assistant.
