He may be waiting a while. Clubs don’t generally sack coaches while the team is going well.

The Dragons and Dogs will be looking for coaches soon.

Who is more of a madge team

Dogs or saints

In the most recent posts, I've noticed a couple of our MIA forwards names pop up: Stefano & Blore. Add Douehi and for the past 3 weeks, Hastings & we begin to see why we are struggling to find cohesion. All might be lost for us this year but I can't imagine that being a Dragons, Bulldogs, Cowboys, Raiders, Titans, Broncos, Bunnies or Knights fan is any easier. Which coach is sacked first in 2022?

Bunnies played in a grand final six months ago.

I guarantee being their fan is easier.

I’d say Ciraldo is more the first choice.
I can see him going to the Dragons and striking up a great future rivalry with his mate at the Sharks.

I think the club needs to make the decision pretty quick to allow time to select the new coach and also give him time to select the players he wants to keep or not.
He would also be able to pick outside players that might not of come here without the change.
Just like Sharks did with Fitz and just settles the place down and also give opportunity to grab some talent before they go.

 

[tony soprano]

is Dotoi still at the club?

Yes wests magpies SG ball.

 

[cktiger]

I’d never say

You can say "I told you so" If you want....

The resource is the juniors! Our brand is up Schitts

I did initially have several points, but for the life of me can't remember them now. Training facilitates was one (Yay to me) though.
How could I forget our CoE

Madge will never get another NRL head coach gig again, we've done it to a couple Potter, Taylor just off the top of my head. Assistant is his best and only option moving forward in the NRL when we finally deliver the hammer blow.

A few?

We've done it to every single one of them bar Cleary....
He did it to us.

I can't imagine any coach would want to come here. Might need to give an assistant the head job, or a past player.

I disagree with this. I hear so many say it these days and I get why, but i think it's wrong. While the left and right halves system these days and the way they interchange supports the argument, it fails to tell the story of the mental side of it, both for those wearing the 6 and 7, and the team mates belief in said players. For that reason I believe there is a world of difference between 6 and 7.

I can’t believe that we have spent the majority of our cap on this squad.

Beggars belief really

That’s the issue with the cap. You have to spend almost all of it to comply. Our team is paid overs even if we don’t want to

Well it's scary to think Luke Brooks was actually supposed to be playing as a 7 last week.

He was second receiver a lot.

So maybe Cleary isn’t the A-hole we all think then. It’s a dog eat dog world….

Nah, he is definitely one.

Nah, he is definitely one.

He’s a winning one though

Don’t sign with anyone else: Inside Burton’s defection from Panthers to Bulldogs

Matt Burton will on Sunday line up against the team he helped to a premiership just six months ago. This is how the Bulldogs lured the star away from Penrith.

www.smh.com.au

The Bulldogs had already wined and dined his mother Lisa at club legend Peter Mortimer’s winery in Orange a few months earlier in an attempt to lure the Penrith playmaker to Belmore.
Major sponsor Arthur Laundy also travelled with his son Craig to Dubbo to meet with Burton’s mother at the family home.
“I rang Lisa and invited her to lunch at the hotel we own in Dubbo,” Laundy recently told the Herald.

“She didn’t want to go to lunch, so my son Craig and I went around hers for a couple of glasses of water and a bit of a chat. I said to her, ‘I know he’s very secure and happy at Penrith, but if he does come over I’ll make sure that he’s looked after’. She’s got a mind of her own. I wasn’t there to convince her. I was there to purely tell her that if he was to come across to Canterbury, I would make sure he’s looked after.
“I said I’m purely there as a mentor. I’ve been a businessman a long, long time and I know quite a few of the ropes to pull. I just said to them I will make sure these guys are looked after. My aim – and I tell all these kids when I speak to them, ‘Bricks and mortar boys, bricks and mortar’. Don’t come to me with a nice flash new car. Bricks and mortar.”

I wonder how our recruitment efforts compare to this sort of thing.
