Title thread Fixed..
Sneens as head coach for 2 years. Bring back Payton with Robbie (forwards) and Hodgson (backs) as assistants with potentially Benji as specialty halves coach. Let them develop the juniors and induct them into what it means to play for the WT means. The identity that has gone missing.
Payton has no clue
Nooo, that's not true.
Payton gets some things, but misses others. Payton would be an awesome forwards or defensive coach.
He gets structure (I don't know how, but he gets it). He gets how to work forwards.
He will fail at the Cows because he doesn't get the whole team position thing. Likewise Madge, gets centers gets attack, but does not get defense or what people should be working on.
I am thinking we need 50/50 Wests tigers players and outsiders.
Sironen, Payton or Farah as our defensive coach.
Pat Richards or Hodgson as a playmaker/tricks/attack coach.
We need someone external as the halves/spine coach. We don't get it, we never ever have.
If Cooper Cronk could be bought, for any money up to 1 million I would sign him immediately as head coach.
He gets spine, he gets structure and he gets why little things are done.
Payten should be an assistant coach at Penrith ...if anyone needs to be whiteanted it's Iv ...
Hmm.
You realise he is coaching the Queensland Cowboys with Jonathan Thurston waiting in the wings.
Trent Barrett may mess up the Bulldogs, I suspect he is going to piss off some of the stars and trouble will start.
If the Cows don't make the finals or at least come 9th-10th Payten won't get a second season.
Your chosen coloured ants are already in position. (in fairness if I was the Cowboys and my team wasn't performing it would be Payten out Thurston in.)
Thurston won't get or want a head role as a NRL coach
Brett Hodgson,Timmy,its a dream team,
