Saw a bit of press conference.
Lancaster and Watford present.
Stated that it was a mutual decision to part ways with Flanno.
Ben Haran also gone which is probably the better news of the 2.
No coach in place yet will be talking to the coaching staff soon.
Last week or so has been difficult. Sounded like it was becoming very untenable and had to act quicker than they would have liked which again is good. Asked why it was before Anzac day and they more or less said same thing.
Showed some sympathy for the Flanno's but also expressed they also have the club and fans to think about and have to work to appease them. Mentioned the poor start 11 in a row.

I think Watsford and Lancaster have been good. They won't rush to get a coach, I feel they will make sure in the end they get the right guy in. I am hoping they fill in Haran's job asap (with Richo) and then get his view on who will be next coach. That can only be the reason why they will not rush to make this call. They may already have a guy lined up and hope to hear news on this asap.

Flanno really has himself to blame for all of this with his nepotism and very poor team selections. I can't see him getting another NRL gig soon. I actually hope he does get one asap so he can take his son with him as well as Val Holmes.
Usually means the current coaching staff are not being selected for long term
