Mannering needs to stand up and lead our team into the finals, regardless of all the uncertainty and probable dramas around the camp regarding coaching staff. It's his chance to shine.
With him going it will not finish our season. At the end of the day its up to our players on the park, not the guy up in the box. As long as our guys have some passion and pride, this season is still on.
If Ricky Stuart is named our coach in 2012, I'm walkin'!
That'll be a nice change from your normal stagger.
I would've accepted drunken swagger.
Scurrah just stated that all internal recruitment for next season has been completed. Anyone who isn't already signed is gone too. Latimore, Moon (an obvious one)... who else?
Shall we settle for "lurch"?
And who directs the external recruitment from hereon in? It won't be Cleary..
I don't think this ends our season but I don't think it helps it one bit. Still uncertainty around who will be coach, now all the players that haven't been re-signed know they won't be, some of those less motivated players won't be going out to do it for Ivan (I can think of one in particular I'm expecting nothing of for the rest of the season) etc etc.
I reckon we finish 9th.

Hate the Panthers, hate Gould. Dog of a thing to go and screw our season by diverting the coach's vision from the plight of his clubs season. Hard to think that Cleary's dilly-dallying hasn't caused severe friction internally within this past month and that must have mentally caused concerns for the players. In that sense, very disappointed in Ivan Cleary as well. Its better to be upfront and honest and move on for all concerned, particularly the players and fans. I find it too coincidental that he's only decided in the past few days to move on. That sounds like a load of bollocks frankly. So you could say I'm extremely skeptical and strongly disappointed in Cleary. These past four weeks we've played shithouse, and his nonsense must have had some impact on that.
The club also needs to stop mucking around and move Cleary on and get a replacement in, so that the new coach has a chance to mould his squad and get players from the market he wants. Cleary isn't the man to be making those recruitment decisions, I guess Dean Bell is, but Dean Bell needs to understand the playing structure, culture that the new coach wants, which he can ultimately only get by a quick changeover.
