Timm allegedly gone for next year....Robson/Marsters and a few more will be on that list.

Timm Robson Marsters
Have heard that Host/Dufty are being encouraged to seek other opportuntities
Widdop of course

sigh

i would understand timm being flicked if he was given a chance and showed nothing but i do not understand when a bloke is doing all that can possibly be asked and not given a chance.

Probably a few more will follow I think.
Without going to market, lets see who takes the place of those you mentioned.

Timm - I guess young O'Ofou will fill the void in CC under a DS contract
Robson - maybe Lovodua would get promoted fron the DS.
Marsters - ?...Periera seems out of favour, maybe they will turn him into a centre.
Host - probably Ford promoted from the DS.
Dufty - i think Lomax will play fullback and McNumbnuts will keep Aitken and Lafai as the centres.

 

[Gippsy]

Well, with all these players leaving it's obvious to me that 2019 is our premiership window year. Players must leave so we can start rebuilding towards the next window.

The fact that we are not going to come within a bulls roar of a premiership this year is obviously irrelevant.

Yep...so Mary said he has the roster he wanted and now he is releasing players ...

If I was a betting man, means Lomax to Fullback...Aitken and Lafai stay on....

Just don't get the strategy re Aitken and Lafai...Herbert/Marsters should have been given a run....How Timm never got a run is beyond me..and don't get me started on robson....

Going like for like
Timm replacement would need to be a top 30 frontrower
Marsters replaced by SSE as DP
Ford to top 30 O'ofou to DP.

Ford to top 30 O'ofou to DP.

Just on our current DS players: So,
Masters replaced by SSE. Tick
Ford promoted, replaced by O'ofou. Tick
Saab will he be promoted to top 30? If so, replaced in the DS by?
Timm replaced in top 30 by? Could it be Blacker?
Lovodua should by promoted to top 30 as Robsons replacement. Yes/No?
H. Lomax imo shouldnt be in the DS, but is it a Z. Lomax sweetener?

After all that our DS for next year may look like;
O'ofou
SSE
Blacker?
H. Lomax

Room for 2 more.

My thoughts
Eddie not ready for top 30 but could get spot
Yes Joey for Robbo
Hayden is a good player, He was captain of all rep sides too.
He has had a terrible run with injuries, out half of last year with ankle and has missed most of this year with knee. Just had a op on it. He should be given another year to prove his worth.
Next in line
Gale
Wishart depending on his injury
and Bud Sullivan a chance

George, love your insights on our juniors.One question.Do they get good coaching up until they reach CC level or is the 3 amigos & Head typical of what they get from 14 years and onwards ?

Good question and hard to answer.
I think coaches have a different role in juniors a lot more mentoring.
My insight to coaches I know.
SG Ball Dragons coach was new this year so can't comment Graham Host is the assistant and a great mentor.
SG Ball Illawarra Ben Linde doing great things
Flegg i'm liking what I see in Willie
Not afraid to change it up and has given around 5 SG players game time already.
Heads coaching is very munching in the Mary mould whether by choice I don't know.
But he can think on his feet and make game plan and player changes through the game.
Mary what I think if him is unprintable and that is as a coach and person
One thng for sure if you don't perform as a junior coach you are gone real quick.
Cheers

Guys like Timm and Marsters are leaving because of Mary.... Not because of Millward.

The useless prick is destroying the club in more ways than you can imagine. And you can probably imagine a lot.

Tom . u make me so sad with statements like that ... because i know how true it is ...

I cannot believe how stupid the board are to allow it.

And by "soon" you of course mean "from two years ago"....

Many players do not like Mary especially the up and coming one's.
Mary is more of a problem than many think.
He looks after his own interests first when you should be looking after the teams interests first. Does not like listening to other people's advice etc etc etc.
It a very said thing to see.

This is spot on
There is so much more I would like to add to this.

 

[RufusRex]

Sounds like as well as being a shit coach he is a shit human too ..
nice ... just the bloke we need in charge ...
FMD.

DA - look at all the ancillary staff that have upped and left during his tenure , and "WE" still sign assisstants to attempt to help him ?? When do management wake up from their nightmare and decide to do something this cant last forever ( it seems like it has ) The club is going to be in left in absolute shambles if supercoach is left to drift aimlessly

 

[2010]

I doubt any coach would come here unless he had total control over recruitment and his coaching staff.
It’s going to be dark times for our club and our supporters in the foreseeable future
Other clubs, will raid our junior ranks and sign players who don’t seem to be given a pathway to first grade.
Those who after left already have shown they can play in first grade with other clubs who know how to coach

I have heard Timm was not flicked but rather his manager arranged the signing with another club early this season because he was not being given a go and the new offer was a better deal. Don't know who the club is, this seems to be a well kept secret. This is probably the reason Mary has not selected him all season.

 

[hewi]

If Timm is leaving that is tragic news and a dreadful indictment on the club.
