Andrew Johns told he is not needed at Manly

[redVinme]

Option for a new attacking coach at the dragons? Or at least the role he was in as a halves consultant. May be worth a crack?

 

[Lethal25]

Absolutely, an immortal who's still young enough to be in touch with the modern game assisting a halves that will most likely as a pairing always be considered as a work in progress.

Totally agree, I really like his colour commentary during the games, he just seems to see more of what is happening than the other commentators.

Would be an awesome buy. Plus, you'd have the original Barge Arse guiding the New Barge Arse!! Who better for a mentor

Exactly this. He has an eye like no one else and would provide excellent direction for Hutch also.

 

[GC Dragon]

Yeah i agree would like to see him take over as our attacking coach , not just working with our halves .

 

[Mr Red]

wont happen - he never played for us, so he's no hope.
Mary has our attack all under control.....

 

[Forster Dragon]

Johns has a good football brain but not sure he is a fit for the Dragons.Would like to see him back at Newcastle in some capacity.

Our attack looks good we dont need anyone.....

 

[Cagey Mac]

He doesn't like us methinks since Luke Bailey sorted him out (albeit accidentally) in 2002

Mind you he fancies JDB so who knows :roll:

 

[Get2dachopper!]

The Bulldogs will probably snap him up.....

 

[Coffs dragon]

Won't happen for several reasons:
1. He would be too expensive for the club to afford
2. He won't travel from his home on the Northern Beaches to the Gong unless it's by Bishop Helicopter
3. Not part of the old boys brigade
4. Some other club will be proactive and pounce whilst our club reviews the season review
5. Management would need approval from the board whom would decide that Matt Head is better value to assist as our halves attacking coach.
Sorry but I just can't see this scenario happening.

Seriously, points 1and 2 rule him out before we can even start a conversation with him...

I like how Andrew Johns describes the technique for performing a banana kick every single f**king game he commentates.

Aside from that he would be a decent acquisition

 

[FlameThrower]

But the bigger thing not mentioned ....this is a pretty bold move, rookie coach with Johns on the payroll, telling him no thanks....

Agreed and also I cannot believe Marys assistants in Deano, Hornby & Milward taking a back seat whilst Joey tells them all how it's done...a case of too many Chiefs.

 

[Saints Forever]

As attacking consultant to provide some fresh input over 1-2 months yes.

At the moment we have 3 rooking coaches and a guy who is well past it. We don't need rookie number 4.

Johns was a great player.

Rarely makes you a great coach.

 

[Owen Da Saints]

Would be good to get him and get rid of Millward, but I can picture him going to the sharks.

 

[mightydragon]

Probably a shoe in at Souths. Will fit the culture
