Rank the Coaches

[tig_prmz]

1\. Green
2\. Bellamy
3\. Robinson
4\. Bennett
5\. Flanagan
6\. Arthur/ Stuart.. cant separate
8\. Griffin/Cleary.. cant separate
10\. McGregor
11\. Barrett
12\. Kearney/Brown.. can't separate
14-16\. rookies

Cant believe how high Brown is being thought about. He COULD be a success next year but so far he's had nothing but failure imo in the NRL. Barrett and McGregor still almost rookies. Kearney last as everyone said.

Arthur, Flanagan and Stuart have similar personas and coaching style i think- but all with differring levels of success.

Green and Robinson are top of the class ATM.

Bennett and Bellamy, they're the Cameron Smith of coaches.

Kearney really is the reverse King Midas isn't he…

Nathan Brown at number 6? You need your head read!

Thats Happy for ya…always a 'controversial' element to his pieces...wait for the reply!
Shoulda been a DT journo, or talk back shock jock Hap

Brown was a hard one Ink

He has seen both ends of the spectrum , early on he had a team of superstars that should of won a premiership and didn't and it cost him his job

Then he had a side that no one expected anything from and has attracted many players despite winning two consecutive spoons

I think Brown would have learnt a lot from his first stint as an NRL coach and I think that Newcastle will challenge far more greatly for a Top 8 spot than the WT's will personally

Cleary had a fantastic record making the Top 8 4 of his first 5 seasons but has only done it once in the last 5 years

The WT's will need to recruit some much needed talent in 2018 to be a Top 8 chance in 2019

We are very likely to be spoon favourites in 2018 along with the Titans

I think you forgot a team called the NZ Warriors while you were away…

Maybe Geo , but we are only 1-2 injuries away from a truly disastrous campaign

We have no creative flair and I'll be shocked if we break 20 points more than 7-8 times this season

So our defence will need to win a lot of games , and if our past is a true indicator of the future that means a pretty dim season

I find it hard to place Robinson in the top end. For me he hasn't proven anything as a coach. He's always had a team packed with internationals and rep stars. He's never had adversity to overcome or teams to rebuild.

Potter took over the Tigers the same year Robinson went to the Roosters. I often wonder how their respective careers would have ended up had they of gone to opposite clubs.

 

[hammertime]

It's going to be interesting when Bellamy doesn't have the big three around anymore. I still think he's a great coach, but it's will show how much his success was driven by those guys.

You could possibly be right maybe..then again it's you..

Care to Rank the Rosters…?

Kearney really is the reverse King Midas isn't he…

It speaks volumes that most in this thread rate him below 3 coaches who are untested at NRL level. The worst coach of the last 15 years. Totally incompetent.

He learnt from Bellamy.

We don't have one player who would be ranked in the Top 5 in his position in the NRL

That's how I rank our roster , unless they can come together as a side …...

You really are a negative nellie aren't you? I, like several others on here also have reservations about how well we will go next year, but you've taken the doom & gloom to a whole new level! I'd like to at least live in hope of a better season and I have full confidence in our coach, along with the injection of some new blood, to take us further up the ladder, but you seem to have no hope at all, even before a ball has been kicked! Thanks for coming back on here and trying to kill off what little hope and confidence we actually do have 😕

Spud I'd love to live in hope of a massive season , yes we had an injection of new blood , but we unfortunately lost some very talented old blood as well

Tell me where you see our points coming from in 2018 and how we will stop teams scoring the points we will lose from 2017 ??

PS You don't have to believe me mate , have your own opinion and stick to it

I also hope I'm horribly wrong and you are 100 % right trust me

I just won't call what I don't believe and as a member and a fan ( well not a official member until Xmas Day ) and feel as a member I need to hold the club to full accountability at all times if I can

I'm not sure what the issue is with that …... it is exactly what I would do if I was shareholder or what I do at work every day , I don't agree with what the executives above me are doing I question it ??

 

[Harvey]

I cannot rate Bennett & Robinson up there. Have the benefit of completely stacked rosters and still under achieve. I also think that their will be a couple of the new coaches this year that will have very successful careers.
1\. Bellamy
2\. Green
3\. Flanagan
4\. Arthur
5\. Bennett
6\. Robinson
7\. Cleary
8\. Barrett
9\. Pay
10\. Brown
11\. Stuart
12\. Griffen
13\. McGregor
14\. Brennan
15\. Siebold
16\. Kearney

Nofoaluma would surely be in the top 5 wingers

And don't underestimate Suli, I think that he might have a breakout year and be a top 5 centre

He'd be thereabouts based on his first 12 weeks of 2017 , but he was disappointing in the back end (yes I realize he was injured ) and he been similar vein of form for the last few seasons , great start to the season and drops off noticeably at the back end of seasons

He might have a breakout year Ben , but you could say that about every player in the NRL , based on 2017 he was pretty good , but not Top 5 or even Top 10

 

[Munk]

The NRL boasts some excellent wingers. Nofo does not compete with them.
Forget top 5 wingers, he wouldnt crack top 10 and most probably top 15 niether.
My top 10 wingers 2017 in no particular order…
Vunavulu, Radradra, Rapana, Watene-Zelezniak, Addo Carr, Feldt, Ferguson, Cotric, Rossdog, Mansour

I will do it Geo , but many rosters aren't full for 2018 just yet

I'll go the whole hog , pick each clubs Top 17 imo and rank each player from 1-16 or in other cases 1-32

Should be quite interesting , but I already know that you be first to line up and bag my selections :laughing:

Perhaps you can give your opinions as well after mine are completed
