Ban or Can Haran
Lol
Yes the decision appals me and I hope that it changes before he does take up his position.
I hear you but they have far more of an idea than anyone who was given a peptide injection.
There wont be any backflip now OT. I am glad it is done, not my 1st choice but my 2nd.
How Dare you!!!
Well that's just plain mean.
Thoughtfully said Dragonslayer.I will premise the following with the fact SF was not my first or second choice of coach.
However, now he has been appointed, and I may add fortunately so, given the alternative options that were left standing.
A lot has been said about SF's past and some of it very relevant, and I can truly see both sides of the argument why he should or shouldn't coach.
In saying that, it's the NRL who decided and approved his reappointment to be a HC.
If I'm not mistaken, SF had to write a detailed letter to them outlining his reasons and mistakes he had made in the past. Unfortunately, or even fortunately, we aren't privy to that letter, and nor we should be. The fact that the NRL decided to rubber stamp him again, after a (was it 2yrs?) trial as an AC.
We cannot undo our sins of the past, all we can do is to move forward and attempt to learn from them.
I would assume SF knows he's on a very tight leash, and it could well be his 1 and only opportunity to redeem himself and forge a successful coaching career. Any deviation would spell the end of his career in many ways.
So, in this regard, I will give him the botd, and support as our HC.
BTW, I also wonder if Bennett or Bellamy would ever have a "sack _______" thread
I'm sure if you got to know me you would be very very impressed. Let's build a bridge.
Hey there, we have something in common!!!
Looking forward to having direct contact with the new coach @Flanno the Great . The forum members will love all the inside knowledge you will impart. To start with, can you tell us who will steal away from Manly?
A good listen, thanks @TruSaint . Good to hear that Paul Gallen isn't coming to the Dragons too! It's only been a week, but I liked what I heard.Well worth a listen.
Key point from this interview I liked.
Summary not word for word.
1.) Are you worried about only having a 3 year deal ?
No, I intend to revamp this place and be here for 8 - 10 years and get the Dragons where they should be.
2.) Is your Manly job conflicting and can you start recruiting for Saints now ?
Manly I will work for until my contract is up and help them get to the semis. Yes, I am talking and dealing with rosters etc re Saints outside those hours.
Cliche' answers? maybe... but I found it very encouraging. The fact that he see's himself as the long term coach and ( on the face of it anyway ), is willing to take 3 years to prove his worth has me feeling optimistic.
