2019 Coaching saga -Thread

[851]

Hope its Maguire. More than happy with that.

Me too, although Bennett has some pull, he is nearly 70 and likely to lose interest quick, probably Maguire is a better long term fit for us, but let's wait for the official announcement

The coaching saga looks like its all over bar the shouting.

if it happens, he’s going to have a spak ,
attack when he sees what he’s got.
And he’s only got 2spots left to fill.
It would at least mean that Gold Bar Benny will have dodged a bullet.

He might a clause in his contract that says he can punt any dead wood in the team…. :slight_smile:

Des back to Manly was a real shock I would have bet anyone that would not happen but it just goes to show we don't know much really , we have Madge , Bennett , Seibolt , Taylor , Toovey , Walters , all looking for a coaching job , I left CLEARY out as I think he is as good as gone , who we get I have no idea at all but once the first club come out and states we have signed X then it will all fall into place , Bennett could be a real chance hear early if Broncos secure Souths Coach but Madge could be the man for us as I think Bennett would be over the top $$$ for us

Wests Ashfield have posted a huge $$$poker machine profit, part of which could be siphoned to pay for Wayne.

We keep hearing about the money that WA has ,
Wheres it been this year it been hiding this year

What do you want them to spend it on? They can't provide TPAs because they own the joint - you can only spend up to the cap on players, so they can't pay over that to attract anyone. I really can't think what you want them to spend their money on.

SOUTH Sydney have confirmed the appointment of seven-time premiership winning coach Wayne Bennett from the 2020 NRL season.

Bennett will join the Rabbitohs on a two-year deal until the end of 2021.

I’m really grateful for the chance to be part of the Club and I’m looking forward to being part of The Rabbitoh Way.”

“I’m truly humbled by the opportunity to coach the South Sydney Rabbitohs,” Bennett said.

“Souths is one of the iconic clubs in the game. I didn’t think I would get this opportunity, but that opportunity has now come for 2020 and 2021.

Hope its Maguire. More than happy with that.

Same. Can't really complain personally. Now we just wait it out for the official announcement from the club.

Rochow and co, won't be happy with new appointment. They were subsidised by Cleary.

I'd prefer Packer do it , but I'm not picky

Brooks hits harder…

Brooks would be too nice , I'd prefer to see Packer's nasty sneer and a friendly word of advice in his ear to stay down reminding him that it would continue to happen for the next 75 minutes if he didn't

Oh and the friendly wave /blowing a kiss to Ivan Cleary in the coaches box…..... :mrgreen:

The only problem with that happening is the retaliation from RCG, Fisher-Harris and Kikau would probably end up sidelining Packer for the entire season!

Must be someone else that’s going to smash him then!
Packer hasn’t stayed on the field for 75 minutes in his life
And somehow , I dont think that he’s going to next year,

Don’t forget that to be able to Smash someone,
First you have got to catch the Smashee

If we were going to sign Bennett for 1 million a season but we got Madge at $700, and Cleary was on $400.
Does that mean we can still afford to keep Cleary as a hostage in a basement at Concord ?

I'd say there is more to play out in this

Give it a week or so and it will probably be a straight swap for next year

Wouldn't blame Bennett if he does want to stay at broncos next year though

Great chance for a premiership

The broncos though may just pay him out and tell him to go now

 

[Fibros]

The jury is out… it sux to be Madge or it sux to be WT... could be worse, we could be Manly.

 

[magpiesteve]

Bottom line is Cleary can now be branded a liar & not trust worthy. His next five years of nepotism at Penrith could prove a test for the panthers playing roster.

Hope so

Until the end of 2020

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

So our recruitment has been to flag interest in a couple of the biggest names, and sign the last man standing after others have picked?

Would prefer Demetriou or O’Brien to Madge

I’d prefer to get Demetriou,but not sure what Coaching here could do for his coaching record, unless he’s even way better that I think he is,

No matter though who comes here , they’ll still be anchored by some of the plodders that we have
