Ok, thanks I didn’t know.

Been common knowledge before Dolphins kicked their first ball

Hannay closing in on Ryles.

It's 26-24 Ryles favour.

But Ryles was way in front yesterday.

Seems a lot of the cheika votes have been transferred to Hannay.

BA might get the gig with Leeds before we announce our new coach.

Wouldn't that be ironic the coached we sacked could find a new head coaching job before we could settle on who we wanted to replace BA.

Ironic but not surprising. This is Parra.

I have seen this movie before when it comes to players.

We didn't rate them they go elsewhere and become a success.

We better hope Cheika doesn't become an NRL coach anywhere now let alone becomes a success.

It will be another haunting moment for this club.

4 kids! He doesn't have time to be a head coach

You sure that brunette bird is one of his kids??!!

I remember when bomber’s mum crucified the sharks for dumping him. I hid under the coffee table.

Maybe she can put in a late application?

Smash that glass ceiling.

I watched her on TV slagging off the sharks and I must say, the old heart did flutter a bit faster.

Some of you punks here might want your cute and literate Vonny types as coach but not me.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So had Kearney.

He also took the Kiwis further than Cheika took the Wallabies. Maybe coaching rep footy doesn’t have much to do with coaching a club side.

Ba joins leeds
Leeds buys out parra
Leeds appoints ba as parra coach

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Kearney also had the experience of Bennett in the RLWC in 2008.

Helped him no end.

Goes to show the value of assistants. One fact missed in this Hannay vs Ryles thing is that both of these guys are currently assistant coaches at other clubs. Why can other clubs get assistant coaches who are good enough to be head coaches elsewhere? When was the last time one of our assistant coaches was poached to be head coach of an NRL club?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I would put a very big Asterix beside that. Unless we know for sure that the problem was Brad and is not the HOF or R&R team We can’t know if it was the right call or just a easy call made to cover their asses.

Exactly. But coaches are always the scapegoat. Cleary got the arse at Penrith because they missed the finals twice in three years. Turns out it mightn’t have been his fault.

$100 says JA will follow.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Because maybe there's a stereotype that they're all lazy corporate f**ks who make a living out of taking easy or cheap options?

If you think about the kind of person responsible for perpetuating stereotypes you’ll realise how silly your comment is. In the case of stereotypes about successful men such as these ‘corporate f**ks’, they are spread by petty, insecure, bitter little men like you and me.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

BA had 11 years and the only thing he brought us was a spoon.

Time to go

137 wins. It’s pretty good. I enjoyed every one of them.

I worked at a place once where the guy in charge would hire peanuts so nobody below him would look better/smarter and show him up for what he is.
It ended up a peanut show. A bag of nuts.

It happens

as a coach, you're going to get more credit than you deserve when things go right and more blame than you deserve when things go wrong.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So what about our performances over time do you now blame him for?

I thought our performances during his tenure were acceptable, especially since 2019. I reckon he we was sacked to take pressure off the board and CEO.
