Rumours and Stuff

There is always a chance Pascoe's contract will be renewed, and as the Loaf sang two out of three ain't bad............

Pretty sure that Pascoe will be scapegoat coming out of the review.

 

[Eelementary]

He’s in the top 2

I'd wager the bald buffoon is of greater risk to this club...

They both need to be loaded into a cannon and fired into the sun, but not at Parra they get extensions instead.

Who would you bring in as replacements?

There seems to be a major lack of new blood/talent in the NRL coaching and footy departments in general.

Wayne Bennett in 2025.

Offer him a $2mill a year for 3 years. i dont care just get the deal done.

Try and win us a comp while Moses in his prime as a halfback which is his early 30s.

Wayne would have the players believing they could win a comp from day 1.

You still need luck in finals but Wayne would have the players mentally ready come September.

Peter Parr as HOF, he’s an excellent operator. Guys like Ponissi and Gus are pipe dreams. Smithy has probably been out of the game to long now sadly.

I would give Cheika the assistants gig next year with a view for him to take over in 2025. Give Bea one more season and if he doesn’t like it there is always barber college. We have to shake things up and try something different because what we have been doing just isn’t good enough.

college? We’ve made the bald prick rich he won’t have to worry about hair or work again.

Surely we have a 40 yo secretary to entice him

I sort of knew that.

That's why i said offer him $2mill per year.

Make him an offer he cant refuse and has to say yes.

Its about time this board got pro-active instead of saying re-active all the time.

f**ken wat?...

you've been wanting him gone for 8 years and now you're happy to give him another season? lolzie..

Round 6 2018 to be precise, so hardly 8 year’s but what real options are out there?? I don’t think could be ready in a year but Cheika might be ready by 2025??


I was asked what would I do and this was what I came up with. I’m sure it’s a hell of a lot more than what the board and the fraud CEO are capable of coming up with. They were probably happy with this season just thought it was some bad luck. I bet there isn’t even a succession plan in place for a 10 year coach who has won nothing but a wooden spoon. “Brads our man, just believe in Brad and the boys”

If BA goes now i wouldn't lose an ounce of sleep but I certainly would if we replace with a guy who has never been part of an NRL club system of any sort...you're only asking to be reamed..

I find it concerning that Arthur Laundy wants to basically bribe Gus & co jobs into NSWRL.

Weilder had a piece yesterday on it yesterday being pro Gus of course.

If Freddy wants me for Origin, I’ll be there: Gould

The godfather of the NSW Blues is ready to return to the interstate arena as an advisor – but only if Blues coach Brad Fittler is keen.

If Freddy wants me for Origin, I’ll be there: Gould​

The godfather of NSW State of Origin Phil Gould is ready to make a shock return to the interstate arena as an advisor to Blues coach Brad Fittler.

Another former Blues mentor, Laurie Daley, is also being considered for a role as NSW look to come back from two straight series losses to Queensland.

Gould is the most successful coach in Blues history – winning six and drawing one of eight series – and has long resisted the idea of returning to the interstate arena. But there will be plenty of reasons to return this time, including a financial carrot supplied by the Laundy family, which owns a $1 billion pub empire.

Gould has a long history with Fittler at state and club level, and as fellow commentators at Channel Nine. He will make a comeback if Fittler wants him.

“When it comes to Brad Fittler, he has never asked me for much ... anything I’ve ever asked him to do, he has always said yes,” Gould said. “And the same applies to me – anything he asks, I always say yes. We will worry about Origin if he asks.”

No one knows Origin football better than Gould, and the Laundy family’s desire to sponsor Fittler’s Blues coaching outfit in next year’s Origin series has gone up a notch.

We recently revealed the Laundys’ desire to financially back Fittler, but now the full extent of the plan can be revealed. Stu Laundy wants Andrew Johns to increase his role with NSW and he knows Gould gets Origin like no one else in this state. Gould is also very close to Fittler, who pitched his case to retain his job to the NSW Rugby League on Friday.

Gould would consider being involved only if Fittler wanted him. He would not want a role unless Fittler was up for the extra scrutiny his involvement would bring.

Fittler has already shown he is prepared to call on outside help when he invited Panthers coach Ivan Cleary to assist him during Origin III this season.

“The combination of Freddy, our second most capped coach, and Gus [Gould], our statistically most successful, is simply the most potent stewardship our state could possibly conjure up,” Laundy said.

“My friend Laurie Daley, an Immortal in waiting, was cut too soon and our long-term momentum lost as a result. I’m so passionate about returning order to the Origin arena, and Freddy, Gus and Joey [Johns] are the holy trinity we require to do so and enjoy my firm and total backing in this regard. Whatever it takes, I’m in. I want to help the Blues team.

“My family’s involvement has been bagged by some hack whose name escapes me. It was said we should focus on bush footy ... we’ll do that, too; as without the health of our grassroots being front of mind, we won’t have a game in 25 years. So whilst I appreciate sage advice from some media people, I’m coming back from where you are headed.”

Wasn’t he an assistant under Mumps face a the Roosters?? Desperate times call for desperate measures. Well who do you suggest if we were to make a change?? Honestly we are just wasting our breath talking about this because Bea is going nowhere the next two seasons no matter how poorly we do the board don’t have the stones to sack a coach.

Yeah I don't get how anyone could possibly consider Cheika as a NRL possibility. I have seen merkins say that Moses gave him a glowing endorsement, but Mitch is hardly going to say to a reporter that he's a dud.

As much as NRL coaches are the sum of their squad, their assistants, their depth through the grades and (from year to year) injuries and other random f**kery, experience in the (or next to the) hot seat means a everything. Otherwise merkins like the Walker Bros and other left of centre randoms would have been given gigs by now.

I'd be happy with Slater, Furner or Pay..

Ask Cobbo about whether it’s ok to bag a coach you’re playing under
