Michael Ennis to oversee Cronulla Sharks pathways program after Craig Fitzgibbon approach

[morton's beanie]

As a player and assistant he's been around a lot of success. Dragons prelim 05, Broncos prem 06, Bulldogs prelim 09, GF 12 & 14, Sharkies glorious PREMIERSHIP VICTORY 2016! Then in coaching was with Raiders GF 19 & Parra last year.

Just seems like he'd be a great bloke to have hanging around too.

Ennis knows what it takes to succeed. He lives in the area and loves the club. Good to have him back.

The Sharks are a development club. Having smart people in development roles is crucial for the success of the club.

Quite the coaching collective Fitz has put together.

Just needs to sign another forward, regardless who it is, or else….

Great recruitment there Fitzy. Ennis is one of the games better thinkers

Is Mick's tenure at the Sharks up?
Reports in the SMH are saying that both the Dragons and Manly are trying to sign him.

Shame if true but not surprising- he was a mercinary as a player and seems the same applies when it comes to coaching too.

If he’s under contract then you’d hope he sees it out.

Club should have probably gotten someone committed and willing to stay long term in that role imo

Shit , I got excited then realised the bump. Ah well.

My understanding is he oversees the pathways program here, but Flanno is looking at him to be his absolute right hand man.
I can't see him travelling to Manly every day and I don't see an opening with us, so we probably won't stand in his way.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Terrible news if he leaves.

He is just what we need in that pathways role.

An eye for real talent and a great communicator.

I thought his media commitments meant he didn't have the capacity to be a full time assistant ?

Can't see us standing in his way but pretty shitty to leave after only a short time in a role that probably requires some commitment.

Maybe an opportunity for Graham to take that role ? Ease himself in to coaching.

 

[Frenzy.]

He's a fickle merkin old Ennis.

Played for 6 clubs and if he leaves his 4th coaching gig in 4 years.

$$ chasing or opportunity chasing?

Maybe. I thought he was earmarked for the NRLW though. Pathways would be an onerous way to start I'd think

 

[Stake Removed]

Not knowing how big the pathways job is even James Graham never played for us, but hard edge type of person you would want

 

[bad boy bubby]

It's official.
Ennis has gone to the Hartleys!!!

I do wonder how much work he could have been doing for us with his heavy media commitments.

 

[Frenzy.]

Musical clubs. When does the music stop Mick?

 

[Tiger Shark]

Was only a matter of time before the mercenary left. Probably good to get someone who can sit still for two seconds.
