Wests Tigers Coaches

I think Tigers dodged a bullet with Ciraldo. O'Brien was in Ciraldo's position as The Next Big Thing in coaching. But even after after Nathan Brown's years of slog to get the Knights off the bottom after the Tinkler debacle, O'Brien has not been able to get them going.

Prefer Flanno, especially with the Tiges having two good players next year. WT would have made Ciraldo miserable. Then he probably would have run back to the Panthers like Cleary did after one year and caused even more damage to the club. Tigers are lucky he squibbed out.
 
Great news. He will be good for the club if he signs. He did well at the Sharks when faced with $353,000 cap penalties in 2019 and 2020 after Flanagan departed. The playing group rated him as well.

Woolf knocked back the Warriors but there doesn't appear to be much noise around that occurrence.
This is probably the only thing that'll be good.
 
A poem.

Cameron Ciraldo
Sat down beside us
A coaching position to weigh

Along then came Ivan
blood clot and connive’n
To keep Lee and Pascoe at bay

Tim didn’t bank
On Flanno and Dank
Or Morris or Browny or Tooves

And Noddy our lad
Struggling hard, times are bad
unable to get to his groove

The process seemed poor
And we opened the door
A deadline of one week, not more

We can all blame the club
But when all’s said and done
Ciraldo was out on the [This word has been automatically removed]

Madge should have stayed
Instead he got paid
The faith in him cut short by young Tim

But all is not lost
17 applications for boss
Us Wests Tigers, we fight to the end.

Why has nobody mentioned Slater?

I don't know what it is but i genuinely think he is going to be an awesome coach, in saying that he is probably going to walk into the Melbourne job when Bellamy goes

Because he isn’t a first grade coach. At Origin level it’s about man management. Not to mention he’s really only the figurehead for the rest of the old boy coaching staff they have. Very different to the week to week grind of NRL.
 
Do you support performance enhancing drugs being used on players to win? I'd imagine the answer is no. So why even suggest Flanagan. Are his "wins" not subject to classification?
Flanno has done his time and paid the penalty....if you give Morris a second chance at coaching NRL level squad,then surely you should give Fannagan his second chance as well...Its goes back to personal choice,you wanted Madge gone,backed Morris and Ciraldo as our coach,while others on here see the coaching role different to you...
We need an experienced NRL coach if the powers that be select the right person for the job so be it.Morris,Flanno or whoever,we need change in attitude from players,change at board level and a CEO who sticks to his job and keeps out of others...
We all get emotional in regard to this club on many varying topics,but for the rest of this year and next we need a real concerted effort to turn this place around,enough of the garbage that has been in place here needs to be cleaned...I just hope whoever is responsible for the huge cleanup selects the right people to get it done....
 
It doesn’t matter who the next coach is because we can’t get any worse. We are getting the spoon this year and that’s on Madge, not Kimmorley.

It beggars belief that people think Madge was going to turn this joint around. The best he did was finish 9th - with Ivan’s team!

Two and a half years later, with more and more his picked squad, we have since finished 11th, 13th and this year bottom.

Morris, Woolfe, Flanagan, Kimmorley or Charlie Brown cannot do any worse.
Technically it can get worse. 16th the season, 17th in 23

That is a false equivalence. Most discerning football supporters would understand the decision to let Morris go was harsh. I won't revisit the Flanagan matter other than to write he was an NRL coach and should have known better.
 
It's pretty well known in coaching circles that Ciraldo was put off by how Lee spoke to Rob Bechara via text message. Thought it was incredibly unprofessional and gave him second thoughts about signing here (word is he had a verbal agreement, just nutting out the details). Lee once again puts his foot in his mouth.
