2019 coach

[MrBlack]

F**k!! Didn't think of that.

Bye bye Waqa........

Again where is the <unlike> button.....

If Darius come here he can just play NSW cup.

So the Ivan thing has died down?

The Storm assistant is a gun. If not Ciraldo. He'd be my pick

 

[Panther_Daz]

So the Ivan thing has died down?

No, Ivan is still the preferred option by the club.

I was responding to betcats who said we should be looking at all applicants.

 

[Whino]

Some random Assistant Coach could end up being the best option.

As I said last night. Adam O'Brian.

I really hope Cleary rejects us. For his own self respect if nothing else.

But I also see real downsides to a father/son combo, something which could eventually really disrupt the team. Nathan might be well liked by the other players, but if he hits a rough trot where he should be dropped & isnt, watch the other players resent the hell out of that.

Storm assistant. next coach in waiting for someone

Halfbacks are rarely dropped anyway so it won't be an issue.

Thanks, sounds promising.

You don’t have talks with another club if you’re happy where you are.

He’s either leaving or he’s playing the panthers to get back at Gould.

Guys that haven’t fully established themselves can be dropped, and that’s where Cleary is.

I would bet Ivan and Nathan have spoken about it and he'll consider it for that.

Interesting. Stew suggesting the extension of Griffin was on the condition he work more with assistant coaches.

I agree but does Cleary really fit that now? He's now origin halfback and played 3 finals series.

To me he does.

He’s origin halfback because of a massive void of talent, his lack of improvement is something that’s very concerning.

 

[TheFrog]

We can probably come up with a short list from the 12 but yeah we should being doing our due diligence and at looking at all applicants.

Not the Gus way. He already has his preferred individual. My feeling is it's Bennett. It will be made clear that we do not need nor can afford Darius.

I think we will see a bit more out of Nathan over the next few weeks. He seems like a kid who'd be doing everything hook told him, which means he was likely playing quite restricted.

Yeah I think that’s possible, hoping it’s the case. But it doesn’t translate to origin where he was a total no show. Fittler even said whilst being interviewed in game 3 that Nathan needed to step up more & take control.

 

[TheFrog]

No, Ivan is still the preferred option by the club.

So what you are saying is that Griffin might be back in 3 years or so.
