Josh Hannay is another one of those rookie coaches who never tested himself in England. Like Ciraldo, Fitzy, O'Brien, Webster, Payten or Ryles. All talked up before they got the job but achieved nothing before. All assistants to good coaches but never a head coach. Ivan won his first comp after 15 years of coaching, It took Flanno about 6 years to win his first without going to England which is impressive. In this day and age clubs wants success quick and don't give you that long. None of these assistants will win a comp I feel in a while. The guy I feel that is the best of the rookie lot is Webster because he has actually improved players and not been given top players from other clubs. His first year was exceptional for a team that is chaotic in the Warriors. Hannay may have the same success as GC are similar. Webster took the challenge and implemented a gun system which seems to be working and not waited around for a big club with money and power to poach players from Sydney.

Robbo and Maguire won comps but coached in England. Willie Peters for me is the next gun coach in waiting with what he has done in England. Adrian Lam another and Brad Arthur will be better when he finishes in England. Maybe Saints previous Assistant Ryan Carr can achieve some success and comes back in the future. If he does I would rather Carr on the back of English success than another assistant to an NRL coach.

I like your observation and analysis there Slippery…

I think he's made the wrong call, he needed to get away, try his luck at some other club. He's wasted at the Titans.

Maybe- but it's also possible that Hannay has convinced him that, as one of the best players in the NRL, he can be a leader and inspire the talented players around him (and the Titans have more than their fair share of them) to finally play consistent top class footy week in, week out. I feel Tino has underachieved and gone MIA in his career. Let's see if a new regime can change him.

Tino is the best player in that team every week and one of the best in the league every week and it's gotten him nowhere. I'd like to see him in a top 4 side (or with us would be nice) with players of a similar class around him or at least leading a team with the potential to be in there and fighting when the finals roll around. I can't see the Titans being a force anytime soon.

I'd rather he stays at Titans than goes to a top four team, they are already stacked and we need all teams to be competitive.

I suffered a stroke in late August and was told that some of my brain cells were destroyed- no longer able to relay the necessary signals to the left hand side of my body.

However the good news was that many were actually reinvigorated giving me a higher IQ !

Please Note ! I am not attempting to make light of any stroke as that is certainly not the case . The effects are severe and most unfortunately in many cases life - long . However I have found that one needs to retain a sense of humour to overcome many day to day problems.

Just keep punching Gareth67, all the best
