[Tmars]

C

Managers for the coaches on the shortlist

Ryles - George Mimis
Hannay - Chris Orr
Maguire - Daniel Zammit
Barrett - Wayne Beavis ??? last known manager in 2021

Not sure who manages Cheika

Cheika does not have a manager

Is John Morris in the mix? Former eel, got thrown into the Sharks top job after Flanagan's suspension. Brought through some good juniors after coaching their NYC team. Made the finals 2 years in a row

Plus he has great hair.

TBF I don't think that Barrett or Morris will be considered and they carry some "he's been in FG position before and just had OK results" baggage.

He was hooked Rnd 5 in 2021 as they did not see him as an elite coach.

John Morris removed from Sharks effective immediately

We can’t go from a coach with no hair to great hair, baby steps ffs!!

To be fair, Barrett has great hair.

I’m actually at a point where I’m genuinely happy with whoever gets selected from here on in. It seems like the board are doing their due diligence in terms of finding who exactly is the right man for the job.

I sort of agree.
For me though I would be happy with,
Cheika
Ryles
McDermott
Hanay
Probably in that order.
No Barrett or Madge for me.

This is where you went wrong.

Yes, I should have said "I recalled..."

 

[the phantom menace]

No matter what comes out his mouth, you can be assured that it’s designed to be somehow to his benefit AND be vague enough so he can claim sometime in the future that he got it right.

Yep, and that goes for Gus too...

In general, unemployment is a red flag for this sort of job.

Morris? Isn't he employed as an assistant coach at the Tigers?

I don't want him though, nor do I think he will be considered.

On 23 August 2023, Morris announced that he would be joining the Wests Tigers as assistant coach starting in 2024.

Best post of the day. I couldn’t agree more. They had the balls to sack our entitled coach (Don’t believe all the he’s a classy gentleman bullshit) and now whoever they pick I have confidence that he is the best for the job.

It’s all very exciting.

PS I still don’t rate how Madge and Ryles speak publicly.

You put the quote in question in your own sig, you clown

 

[Incorrect]

I always thought Morris was a victim of basically not being Craig Fitzgibbon... As soon as it was clear that Fitzgibbon was looking to leave the Roosters for a first grade gig it felt like the Sharks had a bit of FOMO and were going to do whatever it took to get him regardless of Morris's results, which weren't too shabby by any stretch....

 

[eels_fan]

Morris will invariably be the tigers next coach when Benji gets punted

Your comment was about something very different. Try to stay on topic without insinuations or personal attacks. You can do it.

BA couldn't complain like seriously the board gave him enough time to get us to the promised land.

You could argue the board stuffed up by not going after Bennett in October last year they gave BA the benefit of the doubt and this season they probably left it too late once this season was cooked.

BA knew it he took it with dignity as he should have.

Plus he basically put himself in the frame for the next job that comes up next.

We are seeing now the shit quality of coaches actually there.

Whoever sacks there coach next BA would be a $1.40 early favourite to replace them.

I don’t either but to be honest, they both top Bennett in that department I’m looking forward to whoever it is coming in and actually having a pretty bloody decent side to work with and then putting their touch on it over a year or two.
