Sheens? serious?

 

[DoggiesBro]

feels good to have #2 stiched up for 4 years.

feels good to have #2 stiched up for 4 years.

Feels even better to have #1 stitched up for 4 years;-)

 

[thorson1987]

piss off sheens, but i can't think of anyone else. f**k it, have a top 4.

 

[juanfarkall]

If Griffin gets the Broncs to the 4 in 2012 he will be in that 5.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

After henjak built the team?

What's wrong with sheens? He killed it in Canberra and has continued with a pretty good winning percentage.

 

[jason taylor]

Griffin built the juniors though.

Mate you exclude his time with the Raiders his winning % is about 40%. At the raiders he had a team that was over the cap and quite frankly Michael Hagan could've win multiple premierships with.
His overall winning % is just on 50% ATM (still less than that of renowned super coaches like Hagan, Henjak, Graham Murray, etc)

 

[Silent Knight]

1. David Furner
2. Michael Maguire
3. John Cartwright
4. Brian Smith
5. Geoff Toovey

 

[Stagger Lee]

Steve Price

undefeated as the dragons coach - and won the world club championship this year

 

[MSIH]

feels good to have #2 stiched up for 4 years.

Feels better to have Premiership number 2 stitched up in the last 4 years. Tooves will do better with Manly than Des with the Dogs. Pretty confident.

 

[Eels Dude]

1. Hasler
2. Bennett
3. Bellamy
4. Smith
5. Cleary

Agreed, if nothing else, he's brought some great players through the ranks. I'm not his biggest fan, but to say he's a dud is just wrong.

Feels better knowing the Dogs will be round and not forced to merge or fold...

Over the cap for 1 season.....a season where they lost the decider. They felt the cost of that and came back and still won a competition.

winning percentage is low, but his finals record is amazing and second only to Bennett through premiership wins. At the end of the day, that statistic is the most valuable.

I would pick him in a top 5.

 

[DoggiesBro]

1. Hasler
2. Bennett
3. Bellamy
4. Smith
5. Cleary

Huge call, i'm a big fan and stoked doggies got him but still hard to take it off bennett.

Also smith over sheens?

 

[Dragon_Taylor6]

Steve Price

undefeated as the dragons coach - and won the world club championship this year

And the best water boy in the comp.

 

[Big Pete]

What do you have against Murray?

 

[Mr Fourex]

After henjak built the team?

You mean after Henjak nearly f*cked the team. Griffin worked with most of the youngsters you see running around in 1st grade for 2-3 seasons prior to getting the top job.

Looking at the current list of coaches, I would think if Brisbane have a sucessful year as this one was again in 2012, you good definitely rate him in the top 5. I think he'll be there at Brisbane for some time to come.........

What's wrong with sheens?

I have nothing against him other than his Australian coach position. In that capacity I think he's f*cken useless.
