Who is an available, very good coach then? And don't say someone like Paul Green or Geoff Toovey...
I think Brown is a 6/10 coach, and Gould is an 8/10 appointment. So I'm giving this a 7/10 I guess! They are both great communicators, with massive NRL experience. We have nothing like that at the club currently, so I'm happy we have these 2 guys on the books. Gould and POS in recruitment, especially juniors should be a master stroke. Imagine getting a call from Phil Gould telling you to join the Warriors! Shit I would sign.
I'm not expecting us to be a top team any time soon, but can sleep alot easier knowing we should be in relatively safe hands now.
Hope Payten stays as assistant next year, but can see him getting the Cowboys gig.
Well that’s a valid point, but why can’t I say Toovey? He’s probably the pick of who’s available. I rate Griffin higher than Brown too, and agree he’s around a 5 or 6/10 coach. I’d rate Griffin 6.5/7 but think it’s a maniac like Toovs they need to whip them into shape.
If Gould can fix recruitment it’ll go a long way. For too long Warriors and their fans have accepted mediocrity. Even in the last few pages of this topic which I read, are many fans feeling positive about Brown and Gould. I think you’re fantasizing about Gould’s influence. Most people think he’s a buffoon. I’m not discounting he has pull in the NRL but think you’re over estimating it, AND there’s a big difference between luring players to Penrith or Sydney city and Auckland.
You (management) have to have higher hopes and standards if you want to win. Forget making the finals or any other metric, your aim should be to win premierships! Yes, realistically that isn’t happening under Brown/Gould and they MAY put them in a better position to win, but then what? Hope a better coach is available when he leaves to finish the job? Hmm, Brown is a very unexpired signing imo, but with Gould’s input it MAY work.
