Who should be our coach in 2023?

[Bulldogsteve]

Not really. At prop King can play 60 min with TPJ & Thompson getting 50 min each.

Kikau plays 80 min.

Sutton, RFM, Topine & Jackson/Morrin share 2 spots.

Morrin/Jackson only used if needed.

LMAO jackson is first player picked

 

[Bulldogsteve]

That bench is tiny

exactly and jackson will be in the starting 13. No utility on the bench either that can play in the outside backs or halves, that wont be the team

Let’s not forget we’ve pulled off similar wins in past seasons when the pressures off 2nd half of the year

It's definitely a prop short imo because Thompson has shown he can't carry us through the middle. Can only carry two of Jackson/Topine/Morrin and I think it's Topine that drops out, probably for Patolo unless we pick up a cheap veteran.

That's how scarred we've become as fans. We dare to be optimistic lol. This was NEVER our default mode. I'm in that category thanks to the shenanigans of the last 6 years. This time it feels different.

Topine needs to be in our top 17. He has the highest potential of all our forwards outside TPJ.

You reckon he starts in the 13? Think it's more likely he starts on the edge with TPJ or Thompson playing Lock and he moves into the middle for RFM (or his replacement)

It's unrealised potential at the moment, Morrin pushed passed him in the pecking order yesterday imo.

he is captain so yes he definitely starts next year imo.

 

[Grunthos]

I don't know if Potter will be head coach but I would still like him in the mix somewhere.

looks like they see topine as a edge player not a lock, so a good stint in reserve grade, bulk up more should be a plan for next year where he should stake a claim for a edge or bench spot. He is still only young, they need to be patient. I would not be surprised if Morrin is out they put topine on the bench for the next game.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Potter is playing with house money and is doing a tremendous job

If we somehow jag a top 8 spot he should be given the reigns on 12 month contract otherwise keep him in the club in some coaching capacity

Surely Thompson's back in a fortnight

Well it's never going to get realised if he doesn't play. Topine is better than Morrin. It's showed in NSW Cup.

Why isn't he getting picked?

 

[oldpuppy]

People saying players are responding to Potter.
That's a good prerequisite to get a full time gig if he wants it.
I get it we need to get results for the remainder of the year and if he succeeds, it will be a job for Gould to keep other candidates interested til we decide.

 

[Dognacious]

Flanagan Good and bad. Good is obviously his experience. Bad is probably hearing about his son is only playing because of the coach all the time in here. The peptides thing i dont care about. He is my first choice if Potter doesn't get the gig (im assuming if we keep up the form Potter will get it, and if we dont i would want Flanagan more).
Ciraldo Another Penrith assistant after a failed Penrith assistant, doesn't do anything for me.

Macguire anf Fittler. Just no and no. Green before them.

I don't pick the team so no idea.

yeh true forgot about him lol
