Sack Griffin

[AyiosYiorgos]

What about someone like Marc Brentnall he is the "attack" coach for the Storm.
Wouldn't surprise me if Ryan Carr becomes a head coach as well..

Some eels supporters I know rate Carr & wanted him to take over from Arthur

Dragons 2023 Outlook: As St George Illawarra stare down wooden spoon, is Griffin about to get Hook?

Everything that could have gone wrong in the offseason at the Dragons has. Will it get any better when the footy starts?

a very sad read Dave, and tbh what else could they write it was all self evident, though i had to laugh about the well funded bit.

Has zero credibility when he can’t get Francis Molo‘s suspension correct and the bench he names has two players who IMO have no chance of been there and finally doesn’t give BMM a place in the team.

Ladies and Gents, as I approach my 2,000 post, I’ve been dormant on this forum recently because I’m so disillusioned with our club, spending bongo bucks on a washed up halfback who’s better at 9, pathetic recruitment, yet another off field humiliation & a imbecile as head coach.

Can anyone give me hope? Because I see us battling for the spoon. I foresee myself watching a lot on MLB this winter.

Huh?. I read the team sheet the exact opposite to what you have written?

The roar are useless and most “writers” there are always putting shit on Saints. Useless f**ks have been predicting Saints to get the wooden spoon every season since 2016. Z grade rubbish.

Can’t wait for more of your Griffin death riding….

But what about Mcsupercoach? He was assistant coach there last year and they did make the grand final.

Fans can sugar coat it all they want but I’m a realist and totally agree with your every word.

We've been mediocre ever since Bennett left in 2011 and I see no desire from the BOD to win the comp.

The Roosters/Storm/Panthers aim is to win the premiership EVERY year.

Our club's aim and definition of success is avoiding the spoon.

Looks like we may finally have an "unsuccessful" year.

I think that our club just wants to win a premiership to add to the one we got in 2010. It is pretty clear from our history since 2011 that we aren't chasing premiership wins every year. It has always been achieving the top 8. When was the last time that the Roosters, Storm and Panthers said they want to just make the top 8? They are in a class of their own Gomarchin as you know.

The first 7 or so games we play will really determine where we are headed this year. It won't be long as time goes by quickly when you reach 76.

 

[possm]

So you are saying Albert is still Chairman

No, still a power broker with Doust. For the club to improve, we need to see the back of both of these blokes.

He was the assistants assistant
He was not their main attacking nor defensive coach
Not sure what he was doing actually apart from some man management encouragement duties

 

[Reflector]

Yes. My honest opinion is that there genuinely isn't any real decent top notch coach going around who is available to grab to replace Hook. Flanagan to me is an unknown quality now - seems happy to mix commentating with assistant coaching and maybe lacks the fire in the belly to be the great coach we need at our club which would take quite a bit of effort to rise the club up from the "dead". Hasler was always to me a Sea Eagles man. His stint at the Dogs wasn't too bad but got them in some trouble with the cap and then the dramas at Manly again. Fancy them preferring him to Seibold who I don't think will be successful there.

Dean Young still has quite a bit to prove, same as Hornby and Ryles but they will have success just like Fitzgibbon but as we know it took ages for Fitzy to leave the Roosters and he did learn lots under Robinson and with all that time of learning has paid off with good results and a club he has picked to coach for many a year to come.

I'm thinking deep down that the next big thing in the coaching arena, now that Ciraldo has joined the Dogs on a long term deal and who as well spent many years honing his skills as an assistant and has Gould to help his drawing of players capacity, is Jason Ryles. He has spent a number of seasons under Bellamy and now learning more at the Roosters - two of the better clubs to be educated by two of the best coaches in the past 2 decades. This will be Jason's 2nd year at the Roosters. Will he have any feelings/desires to be head coach of the Dragons after what I think his time spent with us as a player didn't end very well?

Ryles risks becoming Adam O'Brien 2.0. If AOB gets the flick, I could see the Dragons snapping him up on the very logic that he served his time as an assistant at Easts and Melbourne, he still has a lot to offer, the Knights weren't a fair indicator of his possibilities etc etc etc and nek minnit the board are convinced he's worth a 5 year contract...

Speaks volumes about the way we play. Griffinball: refusing to kick on the last in good ball, boring hitups x 5 and too stuffed from it to tackle.

77 for me David. Least we got to see most of the glory years.

Yes, we did indeed Nana. All the best to you and keep strong. Cheers.
