And more good news......Parish to stay.

Took Hasler five years to win his first premiership. Took Cleary six to even make a grand final.

Even cheating the cap it took Bellamy five years to 'win' a grand final.

Not everyone is as good as Michael Hagan and wins it with a one year plan.

I aint expecting RS to snag us a comp in 2013, and I also wasn't expecting the spoon this year.

Hasler was improving his team gradually year after year, before they became a force and snagged 2 comps, and possibly cheated out of a 3rd.

Im sure Cleary's stint at the warriors will be similar.

None of those coaches had their teams regress and 'win' spoons either. That is left for 'super coach'.

 

[Eels Dude]

they got the spoon in 2001

Yeah and he took that wooden spoon side over in 2002 like he said.

Yeah exactly. Manly under Hasler went from 13th in his first year, to 8th, then 5th, then 2nd, then a premiership. There was notable improvement along the way. In two year Supercoach took us backwards in his first year, then to rock bottom in his second. And with no positive signs for the future either in regards to recruitment etc. Things are looking up with Ricky and his coaching staff, and Edwards who now fulfill a much needed role that SK didn't want.

But its hindmarsh's fault. Worst captain ever.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Why does it have to be anybody's fault? If anything caused our last placed finish it's Hayne's injury.

Was it all because of Hagan and Stuart that they won premierships in their first year? Or is it a combination of circumstances that led to them being in the right place at the right time?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Lady lucky also plays a part - look at Tim sheens , at the raiders had one of the greatest player rosters of all time - then in 05 was just lucky both favourites for the comp both choked . At the cowboys without any luck, his side is just crap no matter how much money he spent on players

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Look at Wayne Bennett - the Dragons and Knights both made the finals in 2011. He changed clubs in the off season and both clubs got worse.

Same thing happened with Cleary and the Warriors and Panthers. Luck plays a massive part, especially in the first few years of a coach's tenure.

 

[strider]

yeah its very much about luck .... bad luck we got stuck with kearney

 

[Stagger eel]

Isn't worth getting overly excited about imo. Any years of being in a system in an inflated/illegally assembled squad are not necessarily worth anything on an even playing field. Especially not for employing at our club, that was dudded by the cheating mongrels!

If that's the case Bart, I'll be looking forward to you standing infront of the board and members next year declaring a no confidence motion on the board due to the appointment of Dean Pay...

I'll second it. Is the Leagues Club or Football Club AGM?

 

[strider]

no need for no confidence - there is already an election :thumn

What years was Pay there? Genuine question by the way.

I'm not exactly sure but I think he's had 2 stints in Melbourne since the roosters

It wouldn't matter, it would still require you from actually getting out if the house to attend. And we all know how much you enjoy the comfort of your own bedroom in front of a computer screen.

I thought he was only there from 2010 (the year they got caught) coaching the 20s. So i don't really think he was involved

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I don't even own a computer.

Eastern Suburbs hipster that takes his ipad everywhere i bet

Long Bay rec room.

Long Bay rec room.

Maroubra's cover is blown.
He's Ivan Milat.

Suity

 

[Gronk]

So we get rid of our assistant coach Brad Arthur and sign Manly's assistant coach. Then Manly sign our old assistant coach ?

I would like to hear Pou's view on this ASAP. That way I can quickly conclude my opposing view.

Pou ?
