Every coach has missed the finals. Finishing ninth is well within the normal range of expected results for almost every club. How could you sack a merkin for it?
Because it's his 10th-plus year in charge, there are concerns about recruitment and retention and the ability for merkins to but into what he's built and come or stay with the club (for unders), and his extension KPI should have been about getting in the finals?

He doesn't build the team, that is the responsibility of the recruitment/retention staff. As far as developing players, he did that and other clubs poached them off us. That happens at every successful club, and we have been successful for a few years now.
and come or stay with the club (for unders)
Again, this is above his pay grade. Do merkins take unders to go to the Roosters because of Robinson or Politis? How many merkins have left Penrith for weaker clubs?

Then why the f**k is one of your two meaningless look-I-can-count threads titled "losses until 50%" instead of losses until 40%, you dopey clown? 😂
Because after we lost a couple of games some smartarse asked for a losses until 50% thread. So I gave them one. You are free to keep enjoying it.

Tiresome. You'd love it if your posted musings were half as teflon to any criticism as you are trying to make the role of a rugby league head coach.

I don't know, you tell me... they're your rhetorical questions, adding zero to anyone's discussion here.

Who was the smart arse who asked for your threads, exactly? Asking for some friends...

Even with a poor season questions need to be answered of BA MON and our CEO on why we were poor in recruiting last year.

Chasing an old run down replacement hooker instead of chasing Lussick sooner. (Maybe they did but him coming now kid of shows they didn't).

Not having direct replacements for ICE Marata or Kaufusi was crazy Lucky Hopgood came across as 1 good buy!
