Didn’t see that coming

Fantastic news for Dragons fans, I was sure he was going to be our next head coach.

Unfortunately our next head coach will be Mary (version 2.0)

Yeahh gotta say, this is a huge surprise and somewhat of a relief.

The reality is much worse.
Mary is going nowhere until he retires.
The excuses will keep coming.
2025 Mary "we didn't expect Perth to be that good, losing to them twice in the season has cost us a final 8 spot."

Thank f**k for that & there must be a footy God somewhere.
Mind you being an assistant coach to Mary would be like being an advisor to a child at pre-school. Pointless & totally rendered useless!

Mary, stop wiping snot on the walls.

And don’t eat that crayon!

I've been having a crap day and that news just cheered me right up!!

 

[Fangs]

I hear Nathan Brown is being head-hunted for the top job in 2020. Watch this space!

 

[Walpole]

Obviously the Panthers haven't got much idea what they're doing either.

That does explain a lot about Mary actually.

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

So, that puts to bed this rumour.

(Not that Barrett was coveted anyway).

On the downside, McGregor’s position is even more entrenched than ever before.

At least Brownie took responsibility for the Knights late season fade, admitting recently that he didn't handle the post Origin player rotation properly. He would be an upgrade on Typhoid Mary.

They leaked a picture from his last club medical

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Means absolutely Zero this piece of news...The Imposter is still in charge for 2020 and 21 ...untill hes gone I dont give a toss who does what or who goes where....wont change our dilemma

Just read on Foxsports that Barrett has linked up with Cleary at Penrith.
All I can say is "Thank goodness"!!
His recent statements in the media taking credit for Manly's revival made me cringe.
Even if what he was saying was partly true, why would you front the media and make those claims?
He was on a hiding to nothing as soon as he opened his mouth.
It shows a lack of media culture and class which is so important for a head coach.
So any idea of Barrett being the next coach of St. George has now been scuppered which is a relief.
Even though the Board and their media pals remain staunchly in McGregor's corner, results may ultimately prove too much of a burden for them to carry for another 2 years.
I think that is what will happen and McGregor will be shown the door.
Giving McGregor a free ride in 2019 just made McGregor comfortable with the post extension results telling a sorry tale.
With Barrett no longer on the radar, we may be getting closer to hiring a real coach.
One lives in hope.
