Ketut and Rhonda will be assistant!
His prediction for the week was that 'the Dragons would sign a highly experienced coach before the season's end'. Only hint he gave was that he's from the southern hemisphere...
Henry to coach and Mary will be his side kick.
Looking logically at the current table you would have to say no. With 12 rounds to go and the normal minimum 28 points to finish 8th, means we have to win at least 7 of those games. Add the remaining bye and you have 28 points. If you look at our remaining games, we have a few tough ones but all in all it's not a bad run home. It will be touch and go, but I reckon we will sneak in and may even finish on 30 points.That's what I'd be putting my money on.I'd say though that Mary has been told that if results don't improve he won't get the assist job.Prob explains why he is so passionite , the KBI might be the 8 , hince his first sppece to the players when he took over ( does anyone think we can'y make the 8 ?? )
It's Henry.
Generally the coach selects their assistants. It won't come down to Doust telling the new coach that he has to have McGregor.
If its a highly experienced NRL coach then it points towards a Neil Henry appointment. Whislt Albert remains involved in the club, it won't be Brian Smith. Same applies to Bennett-Doust & Sheens-Marshall frosty relationship. Simple deduction leads to Henry.
Matt Elliot
Phil Gould
Daniel Anderson
Nathan Brown
Warren Ryan
Roy Masters
All experienced coaches. I don't agree with the Bennett-Doust conclusion btw.
The only serious consideration from those candidates would be Brownie. Can't see Gus Gould leaving the Panthers GM position to coach again.
