I am OK with that but not as HC yet. Huge difference between AC and HC
86.. If we had to choose between the 2!. That is a hard one.
Couldn't agree more. Young may turn out to be a good coach in time but recent history shows that the patient ones with long apprenticeships seem to perform better. They also don't get their ambitions confused with their abilities.
Agree with everything you said besides the experienced part, we thought we were getting experience in hook, that didn’t work - if you can coach you can coach
Dean Youg was the assistant coach in charge of defense under Mary. A complete failure. What is the reason for bringing him back? Let him coach in the ESL like others have done and then consider him on his record, if we have to.
Right. Jason Ryles it is then! (I would still like Wane, even though he has never played for the Dragons).
Ryles record in the Illawarra league was very ordinary, apparently,
Dont forget Ben Hornby is lurking on media radar as ready for the Dragons
I really think we need a tough nut as coach to kurb our lack of disipline and I am not sure that is Young, Hornby or Ryles. I dont know enough about Wane to make a comment but again he doesnt strike me as that type of person. We have lacked disipline since Bennett left 11 years ago. Which frustrates the hell out of me, a really big decision for the club in 2023 which will dictate our future for a number of years.
Agree want someone with proven ability. Like JD now.
So, it's the Dalai Lama then!
I would too! Loved Hornby as a player. Gave everything as a player, and expected the same from everyone else in the team.
He would have learned heaps under Bennett and is currently learning from Demetriou. Whether his experiences and learning under those head coaches transitions him to being a good head coach is something that I hope will happen as I think Hornby is a dedicated and a hard working guy and deserves some reward.
I disagree, we thought hook was that guy and now look at what happened. Hornby has been running south’s attack for a long time and their attack is great. I personally think we should have co-coaches of dean and Ben, with each one running defence and attack, but right now if I had to pick out of the 2 I probably couldn’t split them.
I'd say we need Hasler on a 3 year deal, let him pick his assistants. It will be a big job to turn this club around, and to do a good job the coach would need to be tough and experienced. Hasler is our best bet right now.
