Potter

[benched tiger]

Where we finish this year may determine if Potter is at the helm next year,if the WT falter in the next four weeks i would expect him to be moved on as there has been no urgency by the board to resign him,more a wait and see approach !

Agree, but if not Potter then who? Maybe they are in talks with Bennett, otherwise doesn't appear to be too many other options?

Tom is unavailable for the minute as beating png and Samoa is occupying all the great man's thoughts but once those dragons are slayed he will be on the lookout for a new challenge

 

[BuffaloRules]

Talk of Bennett and Hasler???

Dreaming,...

Wouldn't be able to afford them for a start...

 

[super_coach]

I still think Potter will be replaced by one of this two assistants, with Payten being probably first choice. If it was my call I would be having a talk to Nathan Brown. One thing is for certain unless Potter can jag some wins against the dragons,raiders,sharks and maybe one more he is a dead duck.They will not make the eight,but he has to try convince the people that count that their is hope for the future and at present that is not happening

 

[benched tiger]

True,it most likely will be Payten since we are cash strapped.You can expect the usual names to be thrown around though !

On Zerotackle, Potters name is being mentioned in relation to Newcastle job along with several others

Head coach - I don't give a shit

What I'd love to see is a defence coach who can fix our inept defence.

The current muppet has only improved our defence by 5 point a game.

Sounds a fair bit, but when it was 28.6 points per game last year and it's only down to 23 points per game this year, it's still not f**king good enough.

The team running dead last has conceded only 19 points more than us

Thats good, I like to see Potter get a gig elsewhere, at the right club he may do alright. Maybe we should talk to Rick Stone, he was a no thrills coach who seem to get on with his players

 

[benched tiger]

Potter seems like a nice bloke but as a coach he is up there in the Steve Price mould....dull,uninspiring and f**king clueless to stop the rot when it is blatanly obvious what's needed.

 

[BrotherJim05]

It could be due to the youth of our players. When the going is good everyone is on fire. Once it gets bad, they all start whinging like a bunch of teenagers that it is everyone elses fault. It's funny because most of them are closer to be teenagers than they are to being 25.

Is Potter really the issue here?

 

[ucantseeme]

Put the internet in charge of the team. That would be interesting.

 

[super_coach]

To be honest Potter has Payten Kidwell and Webster in his coaching stable,the trio are all highly rated, so I get the feeling its more about our roster than our coach and maybe most coaches would struggle trying to make this group of players into a winning team.

Lets face what players from the Tigers would make a top five team????

That's easy, Robbie and ummmmmmm???? Woods & ummmmmmmm????
OK just Robbie & Woods........

 

[ek999]

how about des hasler. I think off contract in 2016 and would of worked with Meyer before

Hasler extended his contract earlier this year to the end of 2017

 

[Fordy20]

So it turns out that Potter has a trigger for a one year contract extension if the side makes the eight.

Additionally, the board still hasn't been finalised, so things are going to be up in the air until that happens. I wonder what the hold up is.

Todays Telegraph is pretty much saying the same thing. Pretty much get into the 8 or get a new job.

Well I guess he better start typing up his resume. With our current injuries there isnt a lot he can do , but he shouldn't have dropped so many game persisting with a side that cleary was unable to deliver. He has nothing to lose now but I bet he still sticks solid with the under achievers.

 

[rex2ce]

Surely Potter must be cut some slack here, most coaches would struggle for results given the injury toll he has had to contend with for two years in a row, he is not responsible for the injuries, but you cant coach the remaining goats to be gazelles

 

[macnaz]

Well get rid of the goats .. simple
