Here is my response to that list:
Kevin Walters - LOL I'd rather have a brown potato in the coaching box.
Tim Sheens - I don't want Ponga at halfback and Hymel Hunt at dummy half.
Craig Fitzgibbon - wouldn't say no. Comes from a good system.
Trent Barrett - f*** off. No seriously f*** off.
Anthony Griffin - a more boring version of Bennett. Winning record glosses over the fact he can't come up with attacking plans to save his life. He would ruin Pearce and Ponga. Pass.
Steve Price - I'll just leave this picture here:
Shaun Wane - who? This guy?...
But seriously. I wouldn't be against him coming, but to me he's a bit of a non-entity.
Kristian Woolf - I would support his ascension as he has done a lot of good things with our defence, for the most part. But I would prefer if he stayed as our defensive coach if we went with O'Brien.
Garth Brennan - When you're alone and life is getting you lonely you can always go ACH DOONTOON! Next...
Adam O'Brien - based on the opinions of you lot here probably my 2nd preference for coach. Would take.
Jason Ryles - in the same bucket as Fitzgibbon, Woolf and O'Brien. Unproven but comes from a good system. At least they can't suspend him up in the coaching box. Wouldn't be against him coming here.
Shane Flanagan - my #1 pick. He's a prick but he's a successful prick. He won Cronulla a premiership ffs. Would bring in the discipline and desire for success that is needed for us to go to the next level. As long as he's purely focused on the coaching and isn't put in charge of any peptide program or salary cap management, he's our man.
So if I were to rank my top 5 picks it would go something like this:
1. Flanagan
2. O'Brien
3. Woolf
4. Fitzgibbon
5. Ryles
