Dean Young Defensive coach

[VodkaSaint]

Defence can be taught. Brilliant attacking skills cannot. Dean Youngs "waiting" defensive line doesn't work consistently in the era of 6 agains

cant see anyone teaching Sloane, even the wizard of oz cant give him a heart

Oh... is that waiting defensive line a tactic and here I was thinking the team was lazy and didn't have any line speed

the line is waiting, it is as you say, But tell me where and how Sloane can be fixed, I hope he does, he is a defensive liability anywhere he plays, shit me he shout had smashed his opposing winger on the weekend,

You can't argue that Sloan in 2024 has mainly played with more heart than in 2023. Yes, he reverted against the Tigers, but he has been mostly much tougher in defence and in bringing the ball back in 2024. The improvement curve will not be a smooth arc. It will have the odd divet as it climbs.

Not sure if it is a tactic. Hope not.

I truly hope so but I just cant see it, I would love him to sort out his issues.
More teams will targeting him now the Tigers have exposed him.

Can you believe this guy will coach one day, i've always believe, the people that are running this club, and non passionate, they're just there to collect a pay check, the St george dragons, forget Illawarra, need to find an influential cashed up, version of Nick politis.

Melbourne Storm	224	88
Sydney Roosters	211	101
South Sydney Rabbitohs	200	112
Penrith Panthers	195	117
Cronulla Sharks	183	129
Brisbane Broncos	181	131
North Queensland Cowboys	173	139
Parramatta Eels	171	141

Our mission is to create the best mediocrity club we can and take a nice paycheck, we truly support our washed up players.

Bring up the Nsw cup coach for next season and swap with Dean Young as the assistant to coach flanno.

Head coach is responsible for everything
If he doesnt think Young is up to it sack him

I think it’s fair to assume that Flano wouldn’t really have the authority to summarily sack Deano and even if he does I think he’s astute enough to know it would be unwise to do so.

Well if Flano thinks Dean is letting him down and won’t sack him for the reasons you think that ain’t smart as the board will appoint someone else anyway, if results aren’t there.

Your posts are too logical for most on here mate.

The young narrative has come full circle now. At the start when Flanno reappointed him, most said 'oh that's alright he might've learned a thing or two at the Cows and would be a good assistant. Flanagan absolutely knows what he is doing and there's no way he made any concessions to the BOD about having DY as assistant'.

Then when the wheels started falling off the Flanagan bus we get told 'oh what's going on with DY as assistant? Our defence is so bad'.

Now we're up to 'Flanno should sack DY but he can't because the BOD wouldn't let him'.

The excuses just evolve over time don't they?

I didn’t comment re Young. Nor did I make any excuse for Flano. My comment was a response to a previous post.

You‘re a great one to comment on ‘logic’.

Your incessant shit posts are sooo boring most others here are sick and tired of your utterly predictable arrogance.

Look out Young is on Daley's coaching staff for the blues . How and why this guy keeps popping up as a assistant now with nsw

 

[Unsainty79]

I think the assumption that Young has unilateral control of the defence and Carr of the attack is frankly wrong. What is Flanagan responsible for then?

The dislike of Young really papers over bigger issues. How do you enforce line speed with Lawrie and Klemmer in the front-row? The amount of shocking last tackle options, errors and inability to make meters has put so much pressure on the defence.

I agree the poor performances means you look at Young, but you've also got to look at Flanagan and Carr.

Now you are really dribbling bulls..t.
my recollection of the universal reaction to DY's appointment was "Oh shit no, now he's in position to be head coach if Flanno gets punted.

That was the reaction, but I still argue its unfounded. Why didn't they put him in instead of Griffin? Why didn't they put him in instead of Flanagan?
