Gallan wants a new coach

So Gal is the captain of a team that hasn’t scored a point for a month and he blames the coach?

The situation with Sharp isn’t ideal but how does he expect his comments will help the situation?

So Gal is saying NO ONE at the club gives a sh... I feel sorry for the members and supporters who love their club and have to put up with this kind of attitude. Do the players & coach feel bad when they hold their hand out for their pay. Gal should have called a meeting with the players and coach behind closed doors not slam the guy in the media. He has bought more pain on the club, can`t imagine how tense it will be at the next training session.

C`mon Cronulla start playing for some kind of pride.

Exactly right, Peter Sharp's a bad coach, but it's not like they couldn't at least try, the Storm would have made the finals in 2010 if they'd been awarded points. Cronulla have withdrawn into their shells and decided to sook instead of playing hard and being professional about it. And that's without even knowing what their punishment will be, the Storm knew theirs and it was for their year to be worth nothing, yet they still turned up to play. Completely different cultures.

Storm played in 2010 as a "Points for Purpose" to keep them motivated and a purpose .Every try,conversion and field goal earnt money for their weekly nominated charity. They raised $150,000 for charity in that season.

The club couldn't punt Flanno.

The players would have chucked an utter wobbly

They imported "boys club" players from penrith & WT and expected anything different?

That would of been fine if they got Tedisco, Brooks, Cartwright etc but they got the one's that were pushing 30 and decent team players but not the plodders they got.

It isn't just that. Look the ones that escaped. Peachey, Townsend, Bukuya & now Lichaa. They are the sort of players you build around.

He is just saying what the vast majority of fans want.

A coach who gives a shit, and will actually get rid of underperforming players rather than continually gifting them starts, and change the entire systems within the team.

Perhaps he has raised this in-house but his concerns have been blown off like Noyce has done to supporters. Noyce's comments have been more concerning for me than anything Gal has said.

Why would he though? Flanagan comes back next year and will change everything back as it is now

I'm sorry but this shit is just ridiculous. You hear comments like this thrown around all the time when a side is going poorly. You hear things like the coach has lost the dressing room and he can't get the players motivated, etc...I'm sorry but what a f**king cop out.

These are professional athletes. If they're playing FG they should have enough drive and desire to know they need to put in and do it for themselves and their fans...they shouldn't need a coach to tell them that. If Gallen thinks he and his teammates aren't putting in 100% each game then they aren't professional footballers and they need to be asking themselves why and not taking a shot at the coach as an excuse.

This says way more about them than it does about Sharp.

These are the players they need to get rid off. They go awol in time of need.

Excuses by Gallen. Blame the care taker coach not all the experienced players gathered by prior coach.

If Gallen was really focused on Sharks , he would do a Jamie Lyon and refuse to play Origin and focus on club football. Same with Lewis. Both appear to prefer to break their bones for the NSW Origin pay check then focus on being completely right for Shark games.

Would be a shit job to take, little chance of success with that rabble and even if you do manage win some games you are at best Flannos assistant in 2015.

Pretty poor from Gallen imo.

It's clear 90% of people who have posted in this thread have not actually listened
to the interview.

He was not bagging out Sharp at all.

Sharp doesn't even want the job.

But don't let that vital piece of info get in the way of a good headline .

They need to listen to his interview from outside the leagues today. The bloke has more guts than every poster in this thread.

Sharp didn't want the job at the start of the year, he took it on to help the club out & because the likes of Steve Noyce wanted him to & Noyce assured him things would be ok.

I'm damn sure he doesn't want it now & perhaps he's had enough but Noyce won't listen (isn't he quoted as saying the coaching situation is fine?).

Anyone stop & think that Sharp actually asked Gal to speak out to force the club's hand?

People bag Gal out all the time but he's a shark through & through & just about the only 1 left in the organisation it would seem.

Get off his back!

Gallen haters won't get off his back. It's just too easy to give it to him when they couldn't do what he has done. Those that don't support cronulla should just be happy their club isn't going through this and shut up.
