Mate I grew up around belmore,it had at the time around the 70s,a large and still to this day Greek and Anglo population base,the large numbers of Lebanese started coming in around the late 80s early 90s,and I think u will find parramatta and the dragons have more Lebanese supporters than the dogs.

This is just a weird way to try and get our supporter base behind the coach to avoid fractions like the last two coaches, since our support base is what? 60% leb?
We got rid of all the Lebanese troublemakers,when we left belmore,we sent them all to Redfern and parramatta.

This is true, the media have drawn the attention to the club, for what reason, I don’t know..

I think we are now somewhere between 2 and 3.

When I found out Trent Barrett had leb it was one of the happiest days of my life.
Was smiling for days.
But that smile is all but wiped.
The flicker of sunshine in me has dimmed.
Because he’s leb I am willing to give him one more year to prove himself and he is lucky that he is getting this leeway frankly.

And no I’m not Nasheed befriend the trolls come out with what seems to be trend of the month.

With the resurgence of the Trent Barrett is Lebanese thread here on the kennel, it has given me mixed feelings.

Whirlwind of emotions.

The excitement of a Lebanese
disappointment of the failure of said lebanese coach.

So it got me thinking that if Barrett is sacked, and it’s slowly heading that way, who else is out there that would reinvigorate those feelings we felt two years ago? That wouso galvanize our support base and unite us in the same way.

Then I had a thought.

Michael Cheika.

Michael was the Lebanese coach in charge of the wallabies for nearly ten years before jumping ship to the Lebanese RL team. I Believe he is also doing soem coaching work as an assistant in the NRL with the Sydney Roosters. A club immersed in success.

He has that Eddie Jones ability to jump between codes and is highly rated by all accounts.

Could he be someone we take a punt on?

It’s very important to appoint a Lebanese coach next IF we can I think.
Success also follows him:

From his wiki:
“Cheika has Lebanese ancestry.[1][2] He is the only coach to have won the major rugby club competition in each hemisphere, winning the Heineken Cup with Leinster in 2009 and the Super Rugby competition with the New South Wales Waratahs in 2014. During his career, Cheika was also head coach at Padova, Randwick and Stade Français.”.
