Well let’s just hope we get someone before we have to overspend on players once our cap is good to go.
I really don't think you're going to get the roster before the coach. I don't think you should be expecting a new/top coach before 2022. There also isn't many of them (Flanagan the only obvious one on the horizon). We're paying overs to attract players to a bottom four side on paper (and we managed to finish above that last year) which we have been for multiple years now. There isn't a way around it. Use the Knights 2017/18 as a template (we're in a slightly better position). If we want to be competitive next year we're going to have to pay overs to attract top players and there isn't a way around it (unless we got a super coach, e.g. Bellamy, I don't think the coach actually matters too much, the Knights could recruit with Brown as coach). We're in this position and have nothing due to Castle/Dib, you've had multiple years to come to terms with it. We still have a long way to go to winning a premiership (I don't see us being a realistic chance until 2024 if we get a lot of things right), top eight is the first step.
I didn’t say that you said Bennett or Flanagan, I was simply ruling them out as they seem the go to’s for a number of posters. We have already “got the word out” and we all know the personal qualities of those that didn’t apply last time.
Are you suggesting we stick with Pay?
Hahahaha have you seen the game plans? Over the past 2 years?
Let’s hope Foz can stay fit for the remaining 20 rounds. Either way Foz needs to play his natural game, we still need a controlling half. Hopefully Wakem can fill that void.
If you don’t have the players to execute the game plan, then you won’t see it, even when it is there.
That's because they were fatigued as it took coach 29 mins to make the first change... Regardless of cattle Pay isnt the answer and never will be.
Don't know what others think, but I'd go with toovey. Has a pretty good footy brain, a decent record and a point to prove. Sure, he's ex-manly, but that doesn't mean another has-lice situation. Out of the coaches currently available he's worth taking a punt on imo
From the sounds of it Toovey has been looking for a coaching opportunity since 2018. Unless he's joking when he's on camera that's the vibe I get. I like some things he says but on the other hand sometimes he's a massive meme. Not trying to be mean, but maybe a few too many knocks from when he was a player. I'd still rather wait for someone else personally.
2018 isn't that long, and a few coaches have been out of a job for longer.
Subbing a back rower or a prop isn’t going to stop the fullback, centre or halves dropping the ball. Look at the stats, Jackson, Elliott, Stimson and Britt didn’t make one handling mistake in the whole game, Napa made one as did To’omaga. In comparison the backs managed 13 mistakes between them.
Wake up dude, Taumalolo ran riot up the middle and our middles were fucked... Sugar coat it all you want but you can make 0 errors and still get destroyed up the middle if you aren't subbing properly (and 27 minutes is still too long)
