Could Paul Gallen Captain/Coach?

[Charlie124]

Normally I wouldnt bother suggesting such a thing as its unheard of in the modern game but i dont think there's ever been a set of circumstances quite like these and there might not ever be again.

1. They've already had 2 coaches this year
2. Flanagan is going back next year anyway, so why not?
3. No coaches would want the job with the ASADA investigation still going
4. They're dead last with nothing really to gain or lose
5. Gallen would probably inspire the playing group more than a coach can.
6. There's only 9 rounds remaining anyway.

There's probably several more reasons but at the end of the day, why not?

I guess its pretty easy as an outsider to have attitude of 'the Sharks are a shambles so why don't they'. That was certainly my first take.
I think though that knowing Gallen has a huge head and clearly has a lot of sway at the club, I wouldn't be giving him any more influence. When Flano comes back the clowns would find it hard to relinquish control of the circus.
Same thing happened at Penrith basically and it took 3 years to rebuild the culture and piss off all the chiefs.
Sharks are screwed for a few years unfortunately but there's no point them making it any longer than it has to be.

Well they're already bound for the spoon so why the f**k not?

No outside coach is going to want the job knowing they won't have it next year anyway.
Fallen captain/coach was my first thought too.

 

[Miller was a legend]

There will be a coach announced and they will be assistant to Flanno upon his return.

No it won't be Gallen

Fancy being run down and beaten by the spooners at home

 

[Bring it home Knights]

I'm sure there would be plenty of young coaches out there that would love a start.

You won the battle but we'll win the war.

Hopefully we will 8 straight at Suncorp. Lol

Gallen pretty much did captain/coach in the lead up week for the Bronco's game. But looks like our U20's coach and Morris are going to be handling the coaching for at least a decent portion of what is left.

 

[Usain Bolt]

Yes, make him captain/coach. Then watch him start at halfback

 

[Stagger Lee]

Not a bad idea really and as a neutral NRL fan I would like to see it. But as a Saint George fan i'm not neutral and watching the sharks suffer gives me the giggles so I would prefer they got Price.

It would be great for the game.

Hell no. All his attacking advice would be is - when we're in side the opponents 10m zone... pass it to me and let me get tackled.

 

[Spanner in the works]

He could say the players aren't performing because the coach won't rouse on them, and the in the very same press conference, he could sack himself.

Paul Gallen could coach you to English!

 

[carcharias]

He should coach nsw and aus as well.

 

[maple_69]

Might as well give him the Australian gig. Would save us paying a coach to pick a list of 17 players out of the 50 best in the world to kill second rate nations.

We would see the first gameplan revolving around one player taking five hit ups per set

I think even Gal could only manage 3... unless he is more special than we thought... he might prefer 2, and then being the go to on the last.

I think he should be CEO too
