Will be very interesting if the new coach comes in and says "that much for a front rower, i dont think so, seeya Woods", Brooksy or Moses you aren't what this team needs for that price, seeya, i will use the leftover money from one half leaving and brushing Woods to bring in the cheaper and hungrier Todd Carney, strengthen the backrow with McQueen, and sign Whare for the centres".
I would love for the new coach to come in and say he didnt even want all 4 and shake things up.

It's been reported that Hasler has spent 10million on the football department last year, and that is without the players salary.
That's why he was told to rein in his spending, how would the WT even get anywhere near that amount of cash to keep Des happy.

Cleary will do me fine. He is quite reserved type with a lot of grit, but really it doesn't matter who gets the gig, till they assemble a squad capable of playing NRL 2017 style they aint going anywhere.
I guess a guy like Cleary might be able to attract some of the vast reserves of players Penrith have or maybe a disgruntled warrior. Anyway who ever gets the gig will need broad shoulders because this side have nil chance of the 8 this year and are probably the top pick for the spoon. You can not compete with a reserve grade back row and outside backs

Yeh, 3 wins from 3 games, 1 of 2 unbeaten teams, he is really scratching for a win.

DCE fell off the face of the Earth right at the moment he signed the 8-year, $10 million deal. No need to be hungry and motivated with that in your back pocket.
As I said, Does can coach alright but how would he go at WT when the extent of his football department spending would depend on how many aluminium cans he can cash in?
Chalk and cheese in every aspect.

If they hire a certain ex tiger to be coach, I'll ask for my membership money back.
Surely a local tuck shop is run better, with less backstabbing, white anting and agendas, and as fans we deserve better.
Why does everyone seem to want to either suck the club dry, or run it into the ground?

My advice would be to take your time signing the 4 amigos the coaching position is too important to leave vacant. Hasler, dean pay or Ivan would make great candidates and i believe hasler would attract some quality athletes. How on earth can Jason taylor remotely be mentioned as a coach is beyond me, one glance at his face alone is enough to deflate the most motivated. Let's see this club get back on track no more ridiculous calls from head office and fingers crossed the future is promising.

Why would you be so keen to get Des? He's got a good roster yet never looked likely in winning a premiership. I don't want to consistently make the semis, I want to win another premiership.

Well except the Bulldogs roster is a little better then ours but their players are actually outperforming their contract value. We seem to be up for a very big bill for the big 4, without a good coach it will be wasted money.
Des at least is used to coaching a team, he is analytical. He would be calculating and can pick up on weaknesses that a lot of the players possess. He hasn't thrived at the dogs but he hasn't floundered. He built up Manly to a force to beat the storm, which is an incredible feat (totally lost to the Penn family). Des has a brain and a good football head, he would add a tonne to our game.
But I doubt we will get him. Bennett, Bellamy, Green, Des, even Ricky Stewart are probably not an option. If Souths are tired of MaGuire, we should take him. Likewise Robertson or Ferguson, but that won't happen. Neil Henry would be a good option and suits our style but he won't move.
It will be tough to improve on Taylor. The only option I can see is Ivan Cleary or try new blood. IMHO whoever we get we should pick someone who is strong on defense. If we get our defense right we can actually win games. We have our house in better order then it has been for ages so hopefully we can at least…... attract Ivan (Henjak if Cleary is not available :frowning:

If Des was mental enough to take the role and we were able to offer what he wanted, I definitely wouldn't say no to him. Even if he doesn't land a premiership he's a good chance of getting us to the last hurdle which is better than listening to your mates give you stick about another non appearance at the pointy end of the year.
