    Rumoured Targets 3

    Are we? If the club is looking for a new coach, this is Parr and Gardner’s roster without knowing what style of play we are going with next year.

    I reckon the attitude of the club - relaxed, laid back, one town team heroes - hasn’t changed since the last few years of Joey being in the club - no matter who has been in charge. I don’t see any leader out there that can change that as quickly as this forum would want it changed. f**k - if...

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    All of that has sucked for a long time - long before AOB turned up, and I see nothing from those in charge suggesting that is going to change anytime soon. How can we develop juniors into first grade when there is a different coach every year teaching them a different style of play? We can’t...

    I really don’t know what it’s going to achieve or who we replace him with, however I’d suggest it’s going to happen.

    Staff turnover since Wests took over: 2018: Nathan Brown (head coach), James Shepherd (NRL assistant coach), Mick Potter (NRL assistant coach), Simon Woolford (NSW Cup/assistant coach), Todd Lowrie (under-20s coach), Scott Dureau (under-18s coach), Rory Kostjaysen (under-16s coach), Tony...

    Director of football… football manager… it’s essentially the same thing in our circumstance. Who does he report to? Phil Gardiner. AOB got us to two final series in a row with a pretty average, undisciplined team. He’s not as bad as you guys think. The issue is the circumstances - the Knights...

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    The coach is a super easy scapegoat in any sport. But when we keep sacking coaches and nothing ever really changes, perhaps it’s time to look further into it. Remember when everyone thought Anthony Seibold was a bad coach and was never going to get another job after the Broncos? Sometimes the...

    I’ve come here admitting AOB is done. **Leave the moderator stuff out of it.** Also, how delusional are you if you don’t think the CEO doesn’t own part of the responsibility for what is wrong with the club?

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    Absolutely agree, and we are a much better club for their investment. However there is a clear conflict of interest. Phil can’t objectively manage both the leagues club and football club. What’s good for the Knights isn’t necessarily what’s good for Wests - and vice versa. I take what’s said...

    How have we gone since Wests have taken over, under how many different coaches, and what has been the one constant? I’ve said my opinion around what needs to change. Who is going to force Gardiner out of the board won’t?

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    Football manager isn’t the club CEO. It’s not even close to the same. How does it happen? Phil probably needs to retire for starters. He is such a good financial manager he can do whatever he wants and the board will back him. How many of the NRL teams that have a leagues club has a CEO that...

    I don’t think they are a top 8 squad. I don’t think they are in the bottom 4 either. 9th to 12th is about right. What needs to happen is the Knights get a standalone CEO and Wests undertakes to support the Knights with cash (to an extent). NRL360’s point that the top clubs have the CEO and...

    If you are watching NRL360 tonight, they are pinning the recruitment on Gardiner, not AOB. Either way, he’s done by the end of the year. Get ready for the next sack the coach post.

    If those players are playing in the same form as what they were when picked for Origin, are they realistically being picked this year? Friz and Ponga - yes. Safs x 2 and Gagai? I doubt it. They aren’t in the top few of their position right now either way. Someone above thought our 1-5 is one...

    It’s been like that for 20 years honestly.

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    Is it? I actually don’t think it is. We have one Origin player, and I would argue that even if we were in form we would probably only have one other picked (Ponga). The squad is average. The spine isn’t great. We lack depth in the forwards. This squad is not as good as you say it is. That...

    I only think he should hang around because there isn’t a realistic better option out there that Wests will consider. Hoping that the Roosters will punt Trent Robertson is the best this post has come up with. It’s a ridiculous thread that serves little purpose.

    You guys want to punt AOB, but are entertaining the likes of Paul McGregor and Rick Stone. Great work.

    I think he is probably done at the end of the year. He’ll end up at another club and probably do well. If we end up with Holbrook, we’ll bitch and whinge about him as well. It’s the way this forum operates.

    This is truly peak forum. Time to wake up to yourselves. Also, let’s face it - whoever the next coach is, there will be a “Sack the Coach” post 12 months after. Nothing is ever good enough.
