Coaches confirmed for 2025

Thanks red.... He's still here?

Odd he wasn't.memtiomed... Well maybe not
I see Kim Morley and the NRLW weren't mentioned at all must be all safe
Think because the NRLW doesn't kick off until mid year as the reason there is no announcement of the coaching staff, don't think there was any mention of the NSWRLW coaching staff which kicks off around the same period. All the other grades start Feb/Mar, the 2 senior women's comps begin around Jun/July.

Yeah that'd be it I guess
 
Setup the pathways systems for cricket nsw and cricket Australia. Was brought into the Wests Tigers as head of pathways and has been promoted to head of football.

There are a couple of interviews with him on BTR and I did an interview with him last year on the Wests Tigers podcast.
Did you end up asking him how he found the transition to be "head of football" when he hasn't worked in football for 10 years?

My interview was before that appointment but discussed his background in cricket.

There are more recent interviews on BTR that talk about the head of football role.

Any rugby league background at all?

So he’s got no to very little rugby league credentials ?
 
So Robbie Farah was our attack coach this year (one of the few stats we did OK in), but with him leaving and Hodgo coming in, anyone else think there may be a shuffle in assistant roles? I.e. Brett Hodgson was the Wallabies defensive coach, seems to be more focused on defence. Could that mean Hodgo to defensive coach and Morris to attack?

Interesting that he set up Cricket NSW pathways. They are widely laughed at in the cricket community for being completely inept.

Have you seen the Wallabies defend?

Gotta look at the positives
I hope hodgo works closely with Bula on setting d at the back
Aswell as attacking pointers especially back up play
Has he trained goal kickers before- for some reason I think he has
 
I know we have to give Benji a chance, but with not too many proven coaches to replace him, I’d say Jason Demetriou would be an ideal type of coach who connects with his players and is capable of getting the best out of them.
I realise he didn’t get the desired results at Souths, but I think he will have learned lessons from that and will highly likely succeed at the next club he’s given an opportunity with.

What happened to Ingliss working with him?
 
Have to say underwhelmed by coaching staff but can only assume and earnestly hope there is a plan. Our deficiencies have been obvious on field with training, fitness, defence, tactics and basic skills. Sure hope they can get better at this, can't go on they way it has been.

JD didn’t play for the Tigers, I believe that counts him out.

Demetriou seems to have a position lined up to be the inaugural coach of the new PNG NRL side, and coaching the Kumuls in the meantime.
