What other club would get rid of a coach who made the finals three years straight, for a coach who got the spoon with the Roosters. Worse than the Warriors appointing a coach who took the spoon at Parra. It takes special coaching talent to come last at the Roosters.
Likewise missing the finals at Broncos.

Fittler won an Origin series with 11 rookies. I think maybe he has improved since he coached Roosters.

Ten years ago. You talk like hooks resume was good before he got here. What club would fire the coach of the year the previous year for a guy who missed the finals with brissy, got fired and watched them go to a GF with bennett?

Hooks days are numbered mate start getting ready for the party.

The same club that gave Hook a coaching job after he was a proven to be a dud and was never ever going to get another gig in the NRL

Still a huge risk. Origin is not club footy. Mal succeeded in one but not the other.

Anyway if Hook is out, I'm sure they must have their reasons. If I were him I'd clean out my locker and drive away never to return rather than finish the season. He deserves better for what he's done and the future may well bear that out.

Agree its a risk. But you need to take risks sometimes.

Its either take a risk or stay mediocre at this point. Griffin wasn't improving us.

Like ive said many times. The squad is stacked and we haven't seen any consistently good football capable of beating the best sides
We've beaten two of the sides above us out of three we've played.

You can say things as many times as you want. It doesn't make them correct.

Equal 4th= mediocre. Right. Even the Broncos would be happy with that.
Bennet took Broncos:
2015: to the grand final
2016: 5th. Week 2 of finals
2017: 2nd. Week 3 of finals.

They're replacing him as they are NOT happy with his results which are better than Hooks.

So stop making shit up. It's not even a hypothetical. They have proven they expect more.
