2019 Coaching saga -Thread

We're playing Penrith at Suncorp. Its a 6pm Friday night game. Gus tweeted out a poster of it with Nathan Cleary posing on it. That should generate another 20 pages or so of melodrama.

Such a shame it's not a Leichhardt! I would bet my house that there would be no coaching from the sideline by IC!

The following is is pure speculation of course but so is everything else on this thread. The way I see it unfolding is that we will get Maguire. I'd prefer Bennett but I just can't see him coming here. He's only got at most three years left you'd think and I can't see him getting WT to a point where we're a serious premiership threat until year three. I don't think he's in it for the money as much as for the personal achievement.
My guess is Seibold goes to the Broncos and Bennett goes to Souths, that could be in 2019 or 20120\. I think Souths are a lot closer to being a premiership threat than WT and that will suit Bennett plus there were be some attraction in linking up with the Burgess boys.
That leaves Maguire and WT. While we are almost certainly each others second choice that doesn't mean it can't work. While I'd prefer Bennett I think Maguire could be good for us and is a definite upgrade on Cleary.

I actually think that the speculation of the past 24 hours gives us more chance to get Bennett. Souths are reportedly going to give the gig to Furner which, if Seibold heads north immediately, would leave Wayne with us being his only option for 2019 (provided he doesn’t dig his heels in at Brisbane).

I hope that it is McQueen and Rochow that are grumbling I’d show them where the exit gate is.
 
Broncos make Anthony Seibold No.1 target that could see Wayne Bennett join South Sydney https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/broncos-make-anthony-seibold-no1-target-that-could-see-wayne-bennett-join-south-sydney/news-story/4dc8a5c898f7a90bb38d82120d1219af
 
Crystal balls:

Seibold to Broncs, Furner takes coaching role at Bunnies, Bennet signs 3 year deal with Tigers but brings his assistant Jason Demetriou with a succession plan for Demetriou to take over when Bennett retires. Demetriou Tigers coach from 2022 onwards. We win consecutive grand finals in 2024 and 2025!

You heard it here first.

Agreed. The decision takes as long as it takes to makes sure we've got the right one.

It sounds like our preference is Wayne, but a few dominoes need to fall.

If Wayne isn't signed up for 2020 with us, then we must have a solid plan B to kick off in 2019 (I assume Madge). As they must view Plan B better than a caretaker in 2019 (or Cleary rolling) and Wayne in 2020, which really isn't a terrible option.

South’s don’t want Bennett according to all reports, they would prefer to have Furner.

That's no good
 
My only concern is that at this stage of his career, with nothing to prove, Bennett would look at the WT roster and go into cruise/retirement mode and not put in the required effort. Maguire on the other hand might be hungrier for success.
 
Leeds Rhinos insist David Furner will become their new head coach, despite reports that he has changed his mind.

Furner, 47, has agreed a three-year contract with the Super League club. Australia's Channel 9 claim the South Sydney Rabbitohs number two could cancel his Rhinos' deal if South Sydney boss Anthony Seibold decides to leave.

"We're looking forward to Dave arriving and plans are well advanced for next season. We're in constant contact," said chief executive Gary Hetherington. "Dave met with [new signing] Konrad Hurrell last week to finalise his move and is in conversation with myself and [director of rugby] Kevin Sinfield regarding other potential targets. He's also been speaking to our conditioning staff about his plans for pre-season."

Leeds finished last term with Sinfield in charge alongside first-team coach James Lowes, after Brian McDermott was sacked in July. The club say Furner, who helped them to Grand Final success as a player in 2004, is expected to arrive at Headingley in the next few weeks.

"He knows our club, the potential here and is excited about what we can achieve," added Hetherington. "We know how highly Dave was thought of at South Sydney Rabbitohs and his achievements there were a key reason why we spoke to him about becoming head coach."

Which club is going to be the first to blink.
I think that it will be Souths' on the 1st November.
Followed by Broncos, then the dominos will fall into place.

Apparently it has to be before 1st of November as The coaches all commence their 2019 season and hence can be paid for it if moved on once it starts.

Sorry correction,
This concenrn is if the current coaches start the 2019 season it will be coming out of the 2019 coaching cap whereas it’s a tidier option to do it prior or on the day 2018 ceases.

I didn’t know that there was a cap on Coaches, isn’t that the case
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t , when did that change?

Implemented this coming year not sure on the specifics but there is a cap on Team Operations. Coaches - High Performance all and anything required.
So if you use Bulldogs under Des as an example they would have to limit how much they spend on Sport Science based on this new cap.

If we've learned anything lately it's that coaches contracts don't mean anything.

I fancy what your balls are saying.
 
So, we're back to Madge. Changes by the hour. Then once everything is confirmed, the journos will act like they knew all along.
