Cameron Ciraldo is clearly the desired Favourite. He also coaches defense which is exactly what we need.
John Morris, Josh Hannay would be good choices and it will be Morris who wins out there because of his club history.
100% no to Nathan Brown.
Noddy is clearly an Interim coach and clearly signed up as such.
My far out ideas:
Laurie Daily. He has enormous respect and would be able to unite the tigers under a strong culture.
Yet I am drawn to one name. A name we should go all out for
Cooper Cronk.
Something Bellamy said that really stuck with me. Cooper would ask questions. Every training, every session "coach why do we lean this way, Coach why do we step off the ruck like this, etc" Bellamy then would go "why do we do this?". Cronk gets the 1% ers. He gets the 0.1%. Imagine when we sign talent having someone like Cronk go "hey the way you lean here, that's why your passing isn't that good" or "Hey you are tackling mid height, tackle higher and you won't get as many missed tackles". His brain, if it works in coaching will be diabolical at coaching.
Cronk gets it. He is the one player I have seen coach a team on the field without playing and be that valuable that he was wanted on a Finals game when he couldn't touch the ball!
Coach, assistant coach. Whatever it takes we should go for Cooper Cronk.
