2024 Coach of the year

[Munky]

Top 2, and he ain't 2.

Give it to Stick. He's earned it

Better against Penrith and Melbourne than Robbo in the 2020s.

Says it all really doesnt it? Stick is the right answer.
How many times has Cleary beaten the Panthers since they started winning premierships

Mmm.

If the Dolphins make the top 8 then its Wayne Bennett. From a team that was predicted by some to win 0 matches in their inaugural year to making the 8 is quite the achievement.

Though most likely Ciraldo I'd say. Dogs to feature in the top 8 for the first time since 2016. And he is a relatively new face in the head coaching world unlike the haggard Bennett.

 

[Fangs]

Has to be Benji , who else can juggle a holiday mid season ?

Benji doesn't hold a hose mate.

Ivan not beating himself in 1997 is a major reason why Penrith have won three straight.

Critta kikau and Burton all on overs at the dogs

That's three players, not 17. As I said, it's not a top-tier squad. Small pack, no star quality in the spine (Burton apart), it's a big effort.

So a 3 time premiership winning coach still a chance of 4 with a team ravaged by other clubs and injuries isn't a coach of the year candidate?

I mean, Bellamy has clearly outcoached him in all metrics, Storm beat the Panthers twice, including at Penrith recently, so no...Ivan isn't a coach of the year candidate because Bellamy beats him hands down. And Bellamy shouldn't be in competition with Ciraldo, but the way they run it, he is.

This is the first year in the last 5 Ivan shouldn't win it
