You guys need to meet Jack Gibson.

he didn't say much but when he did everyone listened, he only said what needed to be said, none of this yeah nah

I remember one of his calls as a commentator, Parra was attacking about 10 meters out, and the ball came from the ruck to Sterlo, it was a bad pass, Sterlo dived forward and caught the ball and passed in one motion before he hit the ground and we score a backline try

Watching the replay Gibbo said "See that ? only a footballer can do that"

Nowadays the commentators would have their tongue in Sterlo's arse but not Gibbo, to say he was a footballer was pretty high praise from Gibbo.

Gibson had wit. Ryles knows it's a word after wanker.

If and this a big IF, Barrett has the team winning, playing well and competing in.every game with no more blow-outs, do you give him a 2yr deal? I'm actually not totally sold on the available candidates now that Bennett and Slater are no chance...
I reckon we let the next 4 weeks play out and see who has applied and been short-listed whilst giving Barrett an opportunity to turn this season around. So far I like the subtle changes he has made.
No doubt if Moses and Guth don't play the other night we don't win..however signs were there about how poorly we were going before they both got injured.

Went to Maroons training today. Hannay is very vocal. After game simulation, when the squad broke into groups he was running all the drills and practice with the outside backs (Myles running all the forward drills, JT with the spine and Slater spent nearly the entire session working 1 on 1 with Walsh).

He seemed methodical, commanding and demanded perfection if timing was off.

if we’re going a rookie, after what I saw today and how he spoke earlier this week, he’s my pick

Its too bad he couldn't inspire the qld cup team he coached out of mid table mediocrity and couldn't make the finals for the 3 seasons he coached. Go Hannay

You didn’t get better at your job/career over time?

You are speaking about a time before he was mentored and involved with very good coaches in very good systems.

Sorry you entered your career at a ceo level.

Excellent contribution EF. Sounds promising. Now how do we get you on the selection panel?

The longer it goes with not a lot of noise out of the eels I think it's Cheika.
He has no manager so nothing will leak in the media.
I think the eels want a name and publicity that will create interest and also the best man manager.
I think he will form a team of assistants probably Matt King being one and will get the job.
Moses is the one they will listen to from a players voice as he is the one that is locked in and let's be honest we win and lose on Moses and will back Cheika in for sure

Chiefy has his balls all in on the Madge.

He said the deal would be annouced post origin 1.

So should be announced by Monday June 17 when the teams go into camp for game 2.
