Wait for it, yes another first from Possm. The double act will be Hasler and Tommy Turbo.

100% CD, I think he played under him at the dogs, but hey regardless would you jump off a sinking ship ?
Shaun Wane and Sharon Woods, Michael Maguire and Moses Mbye, Maguire and Moga. We are doomed.
Mate Ben Hunt is just showing a quality that you do look in a Captain and that is loyalty. Yes Hunt is in the pro Griffin camp whilst Lomax and others are in the get rid of Griffin camp. If I were still coaching and my captain came out and said those things I would be grateful. However I would sit him down and say thank you but the writing is on the wall and I'm going to leave before I am unceremoniously dumped. Unfortunately as a coach of any team the ultimate measuring stick is how successful have you been no matter what sport. Personally before the board meets next week I would gather the players before the game against the Raiders and inform them of my intention to resign and thank them for their efforts and wish them luck in the future with their careers. Come Monday I'd be gone. It's a hard thing to do and I have unfortunately done this myself. It hurts, it hurts like hell but you know when it is time, and now is the time for Griffin to walk out with his dignity. Just my views
I agree with you JD on the Griffin dignity exit, but I cant agree with you on what Hunt is doing now. Hunt would have known even before the season had started that Hooks future was going to be determined by performances on the field, cut and dry that was going to be it. But for him to publicly enforce his view that Hook should remain is not acceptable, and in some way holding a club and the rest of the team to ransom is totally unacceptable. Unfortunately RL is a results driven sport and unfortunately the coach always takes the brunt for poor performances and lack of success. I supported the choice of Hook over McPeanut thinking it was a good way forward from what we had. If Hook has got the salary cap back in order then good on him, but all this backstage stuff did not emanate to any form of success on the field and in most cases we went backwards on what we previously had, so what is the club supposed to do now ? I think the loyalty shown by Hunt should have been done in the sheds in a private meeting, because its done him no favors coming out in media and professing to all that Hook should stay regardless and that getting rid of him will set us back years, well guess what we have already gone back years.

My take on the story was that Slater's management was approached with the question "if the dragon's coaching position became vacant, would Billy consider looking at the position?" and the response was "thanks but no thanks". Apparently a similar question has been sent to a variety of managers of a number of potential coaches. Maybe the Board is just testing the waters to see who might take the job. I'm sure they don't want a long list of offers and rejections.

Agree 100%. Griffin will stay and continue to do his job if Saints don’t step in. People on here are in fairy land if they think by losing to Canberra or whoever then he quits. Can’t see it happening. Saints need to grow a set and terminate him asap coz he ain’t walking on his own
