Was really hoping the Chooks kept losing and uncle Nick would lose patience and move Robbo on. Then he could return to where it al started for him. Right here.

How do you get Ponga immature from that?
I'd guess he's referring to the kids lack of eloquence.

Ponga is horrendous speaking publicly, I hope he's speaks more clearly and intently to the team than he does in front of a camera, he sounds clueless.

If Maguire gets the axe at the Tigers I hope we pick him up as an assistant or at the very least someone of his experience to help our rookie who's looking well over his head.

He’s too experienced for AOB. Does he have any useless assistants we could pick up instead?

Madge is probably gone... Two clubs already looking for coaches. I hope we pull the trigger soon.

If Madge goes then that is three recent premiership winning coaches without jobs. Green and Flanno being the others. That could only happen in Rugby League. This game actually thinks people forget how to coach and be successful. And yet clubs complain they can’t make the 8 and roll the dice on coaches who are either not ready or not up to it.
Green - two GFs and made one without JT. Has a fallout and the players turn in him.

Flanno - Excellent recruiter. Gets players he needs to play the way he wants. Shadow over him from cheating scandal.

Madge - a hard arse non compromising coach. Cares for his players but they seem to take offense to hard work. Questionable recruitment and faith in The wrong players his weakness. Tigers board playing games with him. Still rate him. Love to have him coach us. It would work I reckon.

Did you see Green in the final years of his contract? Running the same stale attack over and over without JT to pull a rabbit out of a hat. No thank you. Flanno the only one of the three that's promising and that's on the condition he doesn't bring his son.

What part of he made a GF without Thurston did you miss?

How long has Flanno been eligible to take a head coaching role? When did his sanction from the NRL end?

Lets see how Slater goes this origin series.
He wants to be a NRL coach.
Don’t think Ponga will ever reach his potential as a fullback under AOB but under Slater he possibly could.

If we are choosing between those 3 Flanno is my top pick

Knows how and who to recruit, he put together a group of leaders at the Sharks, he built that team from the ground up.

He should already be our assistant for next year.

I would love some Flanno. Very okay with winning above all mentality. It's something we need dearly at Newie.

Already got caught once so should never be caught again.

Billy Slater has winner written all over him. Realistically, I'd be happy with anyone over AOB at the moment.

Yes, you've been tirelessly clear about that.
