What we are hearing is that Gus was telling the coach which players to pick. This is going beyond what is reasonable.

Yep. If true this is so wrong.

 

[Panther_Daz]

The few times Gus has supposedly helped him have been the best periods of the past few years.

The first time that Gus assisted with the Game Plan was after we were embarrassed by an understrength Sharks team in Round 18 2016. We then went on to win 7 of our next 8 to sneak into the finals.

Frog do you know someone to have this kind of information or is it what you've read ?

 

[franklin2323]

Maybe 30 years ago.

Coaching at this professional level has changed now. Why would we put millions of dollars worth of talent in the hands of one guy and let him run the show on his own? We have doctors, physios, assistants and trainers for a reason. It’s not to undermine the coach.

Coaching staffs are big for a reason, a head coach who wants micromanage his team is a thing of the past.

It’s mindboggling that people think hook or any coach should have free reign to do as he pleases. How did that work out for the dogs and Hasler?

Des was successful at making GF's if that is all you want. Do you think Bellamy doesn't do things his own way?

Look at Bennett. He has a staff of about 12 people but they still know he is boss.

Bellamy uses a lot of staff. Definitely not a Geiffin do it all type.

I get that. Many coaches do but he would get anything he wants to make it work. Unless Gus is on the coaching staff going forward. He should stay out of it though if coaching hat on. Should speak with Ciraldo around so they are on the same page

Gus is in charge of the whole football operation. That includes coaching.

 

[BxTom]

I hope not. Though 1 game isn't enough. I gave Griffin 3 years and even then I feel so mixed on him. so I'll be fair on Ciro.

What, you are anti Griffin, you even posted your Redditt post yesterday calling for him to go.

I don't remember calling for him to be sacked. I've defended the club after the fact though.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Anyone who signed up with Phil Gould at the club had to know he’d get involved to some degree with the team.

Of course. He should do the hiring, The firing, Be there if anyone has a problem with any of the coaches. Like Ciraldo did. Moylan clearly did

He shouldn't be getting annoyed with a head coach that sees a Trial different to him. Hire a coach that shares the same attacking ideas and leave them to it

 

[roofromoz]

The players were going to Ciraldo more over the past few months and bypassing Hook.

I also mentioned last week that the players have been told they are no longer required to defend Hook publicly.

Not sure if this is Whare hanging him out to dry as such, but he does say Ciraldo is a better communicator...

Wow. That's really damning.

Also what are the odds Daz was right again? He's at like $1.01 these days for rumors.

Again nothing new... So why re-sign him? Back him over Moylan?

It is all strange

1. Mid season review

2. Players/staff say stuff about coach.

3. Everyone freaks about possible premiership.

4. Knee jerk reaction

Gus himself (whether it is true or not) said has been working with these issues for 12 months.

So an earlier review would of brought something up. The least you do is not re-sign him til such issues get fixed

I don't remember where I read this. He wanted Wallace dropped earlier in the season and Griffin dug in.

Whare speaks well.

I think that was out of Buzz's 'Exclusive' on Hook Sunday Telegraph.
