Caretaker

[chemics]

Potentially a matter of weeks away any thoughts on who might get the gig....?????

 

[RufusRex]

Who I want - Cleary
Who we will get - Hornby and a repeat of all the errors of the past

 

[coast_dragons]

Mary will see the year out.

They didn't have the balls to get rid of him before why will next year be any different.

 

[TomRedVRiver]

If Mary genuinely is sacked we'll have Matty Head or Hornby and Young as caretakers knowing our Board. No way will Clearly sign up just to hold the fort for a year.. he wants a full-time, multi-year gig.

Walters would put his hand up. He would be keen as to finally take an nrl team to add to his resume. Qld could just train themselves at origin time. "Go on johnno, just sort them out, smith you just pass it.". Done diddly do.

 

[RedVDragon]

Peter Doust

I think it wont be until at least round 10 and our ladder position gives us a clearer picture of where we will be come the final few rounds.
Unless a coach has already agreed to come in 2018 then there would be an opportunity for probably either Hornby or Head but more likely Hornby.
If, however, no other coach has been spoken to or even searched then I agree with Coast Dragons that he will see out 2017.

I would hope that if we were getting flogged early on Mary would voluntarily stand aside. He could say that the team needs a new direction etc etc.
That way he could save some face and walk away with some dignity as opposed to being sacked.

Knowing the way this club works, it would nor surprise me if they went with Ian Millward as a caretaker. The experience spin in both ESL & NRL would be pushed down our throats, plus they save cash using him as coach and recruitment director.
Personally, I would like to see someone like Mick Potter being approached to take over and remain on as assistant to whoever in 2018 after the broom is swept thru.

Would be great if Mary did walk away.But when he sat down at the press conference and said it was a GOOD performance that shows us all what we have known for years.Mary is not a coach,and the board need to go.

 

[The Doc]

It wont be an NRL standard coach.
Hasler looks like he will be here in 2018 so my guess would be either Matty Head or Young and Hornby.
It will be someone to keep the seat warm till hasler arrives.

 

[BrissyRedV]

I would take the person in charge of warming the pies at Kogarah over Mary. Worst. Coach (and I use the term coach loosely). Ever.

 

[possm]

If Hasler is our new coach in 2018, he would want to pick his coaching staff. However, if Haler is returning to Manly, there is a possibility that an old boy or two will get a run as part of the coaching staff.

 

[denis preston]

Surely the decision has been made and our coach for 2018 is cast in stone ??? If not then we really are in trouble.

Yes and this is what I believed up until last week. Now reports of Hasler being offered a 4 year deal with Manly have confused the situation.

I feel certain that Cleary will be the Dogs coach for 2018, and so in saying this, there is now some uncertainty on who will coach the Dragons in 2018. I hope it's Hasler but if it's not, we need to sign up an experienced coach and make the announcement ASAP.

From that point on, I think you would find change within our Club.

 

[Coffs dragon]

Today's Lurker gossip says Hasler will probably be elsewhere in 2018. Dragons were mentioned, however nothing firm and now it appears both Manly & NSW Origin coach are also more viable options based on results this year.
Considering Hasler resides in a exclusive beachfront property at Collaroy, the trip to the Gong maybe a contributing factor, unless the fat controller (Doust) can supply him a helicopter.

 

[possm]

All recent talk is Hasler returning to Manly.

Sack Mary and Oust Doust. Our Club is a basket case.

 

[Forster Dragon]

Barrett will be at Manly next year and he will do a good job.We should go hard for Demetriou

 

[hazzbeen]

The Janitor ...... probably do a better job ......

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Wouldnt surprise me if someone like Daley got the job
