He has done his time as a player and as an assistant to a very successful outfit in the Storm. This was not done just by bellamy alone. Stevo has had a hands=on in everything. He said just before Bluey was elected and his name was put forward, that he wasnt ready at that time. I am sure that if asked again, he would accept.
Now there has been talk about Ruben and Stacey being in the mix in some way. With Rubes, no. !!!. He is still playing and he lifts the boys mainly by his presence on the field. That would not happen if he had another role.
Then theres Stacey as another mentioned. Once again my answer to tjat would be NO !!. Maybe as a runner, or in moari terms, orange boy.
Both he and Rubes are of the same mould. PRESENCE. !!
I would certainly take a look at Monty tho. As stupid as that may sound, he would command a lot of respect in that inviroment.
They have taken away an elder before which teaches protocol. I cant think of anybody more passionate, who was a kiwi and a highly respected one at that, in Kevin Tamati. I saw him a couple of months agao, and the attenton he attracted was really an eye opener.
You asked, I tell Skinner
Coach..... .Kearney
ASS..........Norton
Motivator...Monty
Runner......Toovey err I mean Stacey
Elder.........Kevin Tamati
And maybe one other, just below Norton, for future consideration.
Then a rule. No member of the NZRL are allowed within twenty Kilometeres of the team.
