He was on 2GB tonight saying that his manager has met with the club & he was keen to coach.
thanks mate, well that doesnt sound like he has told the club to stick their interview, more media hype I suppose, the days just keep on dragging on.
Absolutely, supports have to be right & working towards the common goal, free of BS & external interference.
It’s getting beyond ridiculous isn’t it! Make a f***ing decision and get on with it. Why would they be interviewing Young a second time and only opening discussions with Flanno’s manager? I’ve urged a considered process but this is as slow as a wet week.
I hope that's wrong info Twinkletoes. I will stop supporting this Club if that's the case after 60 years. What a joke that would be. Another rookie coach old boy!
Yeah Mojo 100%, I have no doubt that we are going to be out of the player market very soon, and we just dont need a coach, we need highly qualified people in other areas. They can bang on about getting it done all they like but if this is the way we are getting things done , it will really screw us if it hasnt already.
Too right Nanadragon, you even had Gus saying that this is not a job for rookies
Agree re requirements but I don’t think Hook would have succeeded even with a better footy dept. He consistently selected favourites and implemented terrible game plans and hopeless bench rotations. I doubt he’ll ever get another gig in NRL.
Interviewing people multiple times isn’t uncommon. I believe Flanagan and some others knocked back chance to interview while Hook was still coach out of respect to him.
Yes this is in my opinion the greatest coaching achievement in NRL history . They didn’t even have training gear and only a hand full of players to start preseason .
Get a few of us girls onto it. We'd have it sorted in no time. By the way am I the only female on here?
Fair enough too. Nobody wants to be appointed as a result of subterfuge, especially a guy with Flanno’s background. But now Hook’s gone we should be smaking the baby’s bum , not still wondering how pregnant we might be.
I think there’s several females in the forum. Get stuck in! Watching these guys playing boardroom cubby-house is enough to kill a brown dog.
What gets me is it’s not just members of this forum pushing for Flannigan, it’s become the general consensus of everyone in the media including ex players who know a bit about the game. I can’t believe they’re even considering Young FFS!!
Young = mass exodus of our best players
AND it appears that the club is financially sound and has the money to get the right person. Ryles offer of 800k plus confirms this.
Yes it's absolutely baffling that it's even considered a contest at all. Given the current candidates, Flanno is obviously, absolutely zero doubt, the best option. If Young's last name is not Young, he's no where near consideration. If the Titans or Knights coaching job becomes available at the end of the year, assuming we don't appoint Young, will his name even come up in discussion? Zero chance. None whatsoever. The club will almost certainly lose Hunt and Su'a off the back of the appointment. They can't be that dumb can they? Right??? It will just about be the final dagger for a lot of supporters as well.
