So Gus, who encouraged him to apply to begin with, encourages him to pull out right when it became apparent he was favourite for the job? Effectively costing him a FG coaching role?
The whole "it's not the job it's the time" thing makes you think. Does everyone in the NRL really think we're in such bad shape and we'd be a career killer? Is that what Gus told him? Maybe I'm just using blind optimism but I think we have the nucleus of a very good squad. Sure we need some props badly but we don't need superstars, just some people capable of grabbing it and running. The new coach will have a wealth of cap space and junior talent to do that and build whatever squad they'd like. We've also won 4/5 lately so I hope people aren't believing Bennett and thinking we're a lost cause.
Oh well, despite the fact I thought Brennan could have been a great coach for us, I was never completely sold. I've heard things from former players of his and things from a family member who worked with him in the police dept so we might have dodged a bullet there.
Out of those left I hope Stone gets it. I wasn't a fan of him getting the job earlier but I think he'd be a better option than most of the others named.
