It will be a 14 team comp next season. Kevin Walters and Trent Barrett are NOT what I would consider to be quality NRL Head Coaches.
Kevvie thinks bringing the “Old Boys” back into the Club and changing the culture is going to fix everything. They will miss the Top 8 next season - no doubts.
Barrett is far too emotional and at best is a good Assistant Coach. If he couldn’t handle Manly, there is absolutely no way he will handle the off field issues with Canterbury.
I do however expect improvement from St George with Griffin, Gentle and Matt Elliott next season.
Having thought long and hard about our own Club, I have decided that I would like John Morris to remain as Head Coach.
He is loved by the media, is a clean skin and promotes an incredibly positive image of the Club. Notice how the continual negative stories are gone?
Clearly the players love him and it appears it is a happy Club.
We play an attractive brand of footy and can score points which is great.
He just needs specialised Assistant Coaches around him. Honestly, I would love to see a team of John Morris (Head Coach) Dean Pay (Defensive/ Forwards Coach) don’t laugh but I think Paul McGregor (Attack/Backs Coach) would be an excellent addition as well.
I think this would be an outstanding Coaching Team. Pay and McGregor would be seriously motivated to succeed so they can rebuild their NRL Coaching profiles and credibility.
