Sack Griffin

[Illusion]

No, but will be Monday next week

Must be still packing , check back later .......

 

[jodragon40]

Just checking back , is he gone yet .........

Nope he's up here on the GC for a week with well at least half of the squad so nothing is going to happen this week. All members have been invited to a 1 hr meeting next Tuesday to ask members of the board a question. It's in Wollongong and a last minute arrangement. You can zoom into the meeting. I walked past half of the squad yesterday when their bus parked outside my apartment complex. They went for a swim and into the Northcliffe SLSC. They didn't make any eye contact. Just wanted to be left alone. I was wearing my dragons gear walking my dog but they just kept eyes down the whole time.

Maybe they're scared of dogs.

Yep he a vicious looking 9 yr old overweight crocker spaniel black and white in colour maybe they thought he was a Wests supporter

On the Hornby rumours I’d dearly love him to be a success but as another poster said he’d be like a lamb in a slaughter house with where the club is at now. If this happens it would truly demonstrate the board hasn’t learnt anything at all from a decade of terrible coaching appointments. It really has to be either Hasler or Flanagan while the club is in such a deep hole. A few years down the track and with the ship turned around I could see Hornby coming in and having success. But we need a coach with runs on the board at this point in time.

That's poor of them.
I would probably ignore them the way they are playing.

Are you saying that your spaniel dog is a shocker Jo or did you just misspell Cocker?

 

[blacksafake]

If it’s Hornby it needs to be with Richo or someone equivalent or not at all.
I fear it’ll be him just to please the fans who think of him as Bambi.
Hornby & Haran, what could go wrong

 

[baggygreen man]

yet somehow Hornby is seemingly the front runner.

I'm hearing Jason Ryles is the front runner, that is while he remains uncommited to the Storm. Hasler has gone on the back burner as he is overseas and yet to talk to the Board, in fact our useless FO is yet to even interview a single candidate. Meanwhile the team Griffin assembled continues to lose games they had a big sniff to win.

 

[St Tangles]

Ryles was a dumb player do we really see him being any different as a head coach?

 

[baggygreen man]

Extremely poor outdated coaching !!!!

We all know how bad Griffin has been as we see it every week. Playing favorites with his mates, dumping juniors, now mass cullings of good players, made scapegoats for his incompetence. But what of his assistants, Ryan Carr and Ben Woolf. Are they being given free rein at training or kept in the background as past assistants under Griffin have been. Our biggest weakness is our defense, more so than our structureless attack. I think it is Carr that is our defense coach. He'd not have been employed if he was a dud after that Gentle bloke so what influence is he having on our poor defenders.

You dont get picked to wear a Kangaroo jumper if you are a dumb player.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Ryles dumb? He has been assistant to Bellamy and Robbo and had a stint in the Union? For a dumb guy he seems to have made some smart decisions in regards to getting good experience in coaching. He would be my pick ahead of Hornby. I heard he is the one Saints want but he is the one yet to commit. I think he is waiting on the Bellamy decision. Carryannis the journalist said this in a pod. He is a big Dragons fan.

Ryle's family apparently has moved to the Gong so there is still a huge chance he will be the one.

 

[St Tangles]

Did not say he was dumb.
He was a dumb player.
Prone for massive brain explosions.
Big difference between assistant coach and head coach.

 

[TheRev]

If Ryles is interested again, its probably because a) the Storm wont be hiring him in the near future and b) perhaps we have made some other appointments that give him some confidence (such as replacing Haran with someone decent).

I wanted an experienced coach.. but if you are going to choose a rookie.. he is the one.. but I still think he needs some good heads around him.. not what we have currently.

 

[St Tangles]

If we are going ex player Hornby would be my pick.
I would prefer an experienced coach.

 

[Old Timer]

Ryles was an enterprising and uncompromising front row forward.

Yes he made mistakes but also laid good platforms and made big inroads into the opposition which our attack launched off.

We would have been a lot less potent without him.

A more senior coach at the time and he plays a lot more rep footy and we win a couple of comps.

Probably what we need right now
