Assistant Coaches Sacked

[dannyt]

Parramatta putting the reigning premiers and competition favourites to the sword on the same day Nathan Brown joins Mary McGregor in Parra’s coaching ranks….coincidence?

Yes

 

[Kolum Kid]

Playing against 12 men more like it.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Yes

I think you missed the joke mate

And up until a minute ago, it seemed Hook had given the halftime talk to Parra too.

I didn't, but I think you did.

BTW- a joke loses all impact if you need to explain it.

Hook has identified his weaknesses...this tells me that they (ass coaches) have let him down...obviously sees his assistants and not himeslf as the problem to any of our problems..,...all very interesting...

Yes - in much the same way that Mary identified Hornby as one of his weaknesses. And we all know how that turned out...
Replacing the assistant coaches won't change :
1) Hook's logic-defying team selections
2) His blind loyalty to his hand-picked old nags
3) His stodgy "game plan", that is so far past its sell-by date it is embarrassing.

Hook will have no more excuses if the replacement assistant coaches are not any better than Gentle and Head and the results are poor. To me Gentle and Head haven't been much help to Hook - both their defensive and attacking structures have been ordinary, but as Hook has the overall say in everything, he is responsible for all results and as you say NOB replacing the current assistants won't change those 3 things you have given.

Don't forget he got rid of Elliott also.

Hornby should become available, pretty sure burgess is staying at south’s as an assistant. Hornby was the attacking coach for all the times they made the prelims, bring him back

He was thrown under the bus par excellence by Mary, who obviously felt threatened by him.

is matthew elliott still part of the coaching staff ?

I don't think so-he has recently been part of the ABC commentary, which he gave up when first appointed.

 

[George Sancti]

I would like to see the club appoint Michael Hagan as either the assistant coach or as an advisor to Anthony Griffin. I believe Hagan has contributed significantly to Queensland and Australian coaching squads and would improve our game plans and attacking structures.

He is still employed by the Dragons in the capacity of Leadership & Cultural development.
He has prior experience outside of football in this field of personal development.

McFadden has a good resume'. He will do some good things for the Warriors with his experience.

I don't know much about Craig Hodges. Does he have what it takes to be better than what we have?
