The coach Bulldogs should hire but won't

'What a perfect fit'

The Bulldogs should think outside the box and take a punt on former Test halfback Brett Kimmorley for the coaching job for 2023 and beyond.

The usual suspects are being bandied around as the men to fill the hot seat - Blues Origin coach Brad Fittler, premiership winners Shane Flanagan and Paul Green, Penrith assistant Cameron Ciraldo and St Helens' Aussie coach Kristian Woolf.

Kimmorley hasn't coached at NRL level but has one of the best analytical minds in the game and is currently working on pathways and junior development with the Wests Tigers.

Cool headed and able to relate to young players, Kimmorley has recruited some outstanding youngsters who will be top class players for the Wests Tigers - but sadly not for the next few seasons as they are all in the 16-18 year age bracket.

In his playing days, there were few smarter halfbacks and he could pick apart opposition defences with his class and ability to read a game.

he man known as 'Noddy' has all the other attributes a coach needs - he can 'schmooze' the board, is a polished media performer and will relate well to the fans.

And let's not forget he played the final two seasons of his illustrious career at the Bulldogs - what a perfect fit.

While Kimmorley is an option who ticks a lot of boxes, Phil Gould has hinted strongly that the next man for the job will be an experienced campaigner. Put it down as the job he should get rather than the one he will.


Assistant Coach, I think so, Head Coach I don't think so.


Always a Bulldog

But could he tell TPJ, Naden, Dufty, Okunbor et al to pull their fucken heads in. Bit different to colouring in on a white board.

FMD this is getting pathetic....

 

[TABOO]

No

I'd love Noddy as an assistant. I think he's very knowledgeable and a great communicator. He always speaks well and is respectful of the club. But any talk of being the head coach is crazy. We need someone with experience.

Pay was also connected with the juniors when he came. Didnt work out they arent kids any more and play differently. Especially defensively

 

[top-dog]

Seriously take a punt are you mad if we fuck this up now we won’t be competitive for a decade

I am eagerly anticipating the Terry Lamb article

 

[Scoooby]

Fuck off please. It’s off the chain !!!

But he has bulldogs DNA.

But he has bulldogs DNA.

Smeared between his butt cheeks maybe ... other than that he couldn't give a hoot about the dogs.

 

[John Matrix]

Media is throwing shit at the wall and hopes some will eventually stick

 

[MOVE.80]

Love Noddy but I think any Bulldogs DNA he once had has worn out

 

[c-b-b]

Smeared between his butt cheeks maybe ... other than that he couldn't give a hoot about the dogs.

He’s a bit like Ennis, trying to either coach or play at every NRL club.

 

[BULLDVGS]

Just shows that the role is obviously desirable. Not like in 2018 when Dymock and Pay were front runners.

 

[oldpuppy]

can he play halfback?

 

[ddt192]

Such an underrated player.
