First coach sacked 2024

[AlwaysGreen]

Bennett is about 197 years old. Surely its time to retire.

He only looks 197. He's actually 234 years old but has a strict skin care regimen

 

[Penrith fan]

Bennett will die coaching and South Sydney need his style.

Some of these new age Woke players only respond to a hug and a "The whole world is against you, it's not fair" attitude.

Bennett can do that.

According to bennett 2 million under the cap this year too

Here’s another whose facing the sack lol

No door on the GC is safe.

He is still proving the doubters wrong. Where are the Dolphins situated on the ladder currently again? If he still feels up to coaching, then he's not too old. He's an evergreen and a dead set beauty. Souths need him desperately and he's about the only one capable of injecting life back into that deflating club.

That's not Des' voice. lol.

While simultaneously telling Reynolds how good Brisbane is, how much he'd love it up there, and how good it'd be for his family....

Only after Souths shorted him with an insulting offer that broke his heart. History now proves that was a disastrous decision.

 

[Penrith fan]

Yes, it is a sliding doors moment. The loss of Reynolds has destroyed Souths.

Getting rid of him or not offering him top dollar was one of the dumbest decisions in the history of sport.

He'll die in the coaches box.

 

[Eelectrica]

He'll die in the coaches box.

Coaching the Eels could make that happen if we're his next gig.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Coaching the Eels could make that happen if we're his next gig.

Or a fate worst than death: baldness.

We are round 5 and the Dolphins are doing well (you can only beat the team in front of you) but the draw will even put over the coming two months. Let’s look at the table come origin time to see how the Fins are really travelling.

It wasn’t about money

they only wanted to offer a one year deal he wanted two

he’s lasted three plus seasons

 

[Penrith fan]

Yes, that makes it even more stupid.

Plus Reynolds was the life and soul of the team and all the positive energy at the Souths' Club.

I’ll admit I’m a bit skeptical of McGuire. I remember when Bellamy coached origin who had no experience with origin and how bad he was. I wasn’t even a senior in high school at the time but I was starting to really understand how the game worked. I was just shaking my head at how awful Bellamy was. Admittedly Madge has had success at the Kiwis but I’m still a bit skeptical

How was it bad coaching? The Blues were up against the best Maroons side in Origin history.

Of course. Still, just like Souths are also tacking on last year's results and not just basing their thoughts on 5 matches alone, so should we also with the new franchise who have been batting above their average from the outset. I predict they will make the 8 this year.

The word Maroons is redundant here.
The Blues were up against the best side in Origin history.

Press reports are that Hunt's management has already opened talks with the Dragons on a contract extension. As such I doubt Hunt will be going to either.

Flanno wants everyone to stay. Rebuild. From inside the playing group

From all reports Jack Gibson rarely ever sprayed people or his teams. He used understatement to the maximum on most things. One Eels game, Parramatta came in at halftime after playing so poorly they were down by 10-15 points. The players all expected him to have a go at them, but he left them sitting there alone for most of the break. When he came in, they were due to run back out and all he apparently said was "you know what you have to do". The Eels went out and won the game.

I've heard that story. I wouldn't want to hear Jack's half-time speeches for entertainment value, more just to observe how a master dealt with his team as a collective and his players as individuals - especially when the team were losing or playing badly up to then...
