Welcome to McDud town population you.
Kearney works for the Storm. Anderson works for the Roosters. So did Jason Taylor. Fitzgibbon could turn out to look like a dud, despite having been at the Chooks while they won premierships. It's not that these coaches are to blame for poor results at weak clubs. It's just that the strong clubs have the money to be able to employ coaches like them as assistants and consultants, while weaker clubs can only afford them as head coaches.

How is an assistant coach any more of a threat than a consultant? If they're better they will be in the picture as replacement coaches.
If true why does Bea continually surround himself with absolute duds?? Would Murphy or Kidwell get a gig at any of the top clubs??? I seriously doubt it.

Fella's , just go to the Dragons sites to see what they think of Mary. He wasn't christened McWrecker for nothing ! The clubs supporters are the best review you can get on a player/ coach as they see & analyse each game. Mary has mates in the media & the WIN side of the JV. His traits was never taking personal responsibility, never supporting the youth in the area ( he never even attended junior rep or reserve grade games unless played before the NRL ) played personal favourites in selections and was a technical luddite ! As an example of this local junior who he chased away to Souths Jacob Host was dropped to ressies by Mary, so jake asked Mary what should he work on to get back in first grade ( expecting some deficiencies in his game to hone ) was just told "work harder "! Ennis could be good for you guys but McGregor is a fraud and the eels should do what Bennett did when he joined the club in 2009 - got rid of him.

People learn. Is Mary not capable of learning? Would people prefer unexperienced guys? Mary had some good ideas but also a lot of poor decisions. The fact we have Kidwell, BA and Ennis means they can all chip in and bounce ideas. Something one may miss the other may pick up and something one may know can teach the other.

People who have fixed minds miss chances. Ricky Stuart is a prime example of someone who improved. Is he a bad coach now cause Raiders didn't make the finals this season?
The guy is a good coach.

Article says Parra benefiting with Penrith chipping in 250k for the next 3 seasons. I call completely bullshit. His contract would of been up before 2024 ends. I was told they where chipping in 250k for his first 3 seasons. So end of 2022 it was full freight. However these 2.4 mill for 3yrs are paper figures.

It is possible we are paying him 750k next season with Penrith adding 250k. Then 750k for 2023 and 500k for 2024.

He doesn't have the keys to the bus or the cashbox. He's just part of the think-tank.
