Willie Talau

Just a thought, why couldn't Willie Talau be our next first grade coach. He has the reserves during even with the pressure of losing players through to injury and 1st grade. He obviously can get his attack going and now looks like the defence is in order. He is a young coach with obviously up with the present game.
I think it's time we need to freshen up our first grade coaching ranks.

Not while Young is there.

 

[Dragon set in stone.]

Like to see him move up to assistant next year . I don't rate Dean Young so he should exit. It won't happen this club is riddled with incompetents and jobs for the boys.

 

[dragon thomo]

Your right Dragon Set In, our top office is a shambles. And while that remains the same we will be rat shi.

Talau is our main artery for first grade being competitive. If he was promoted, our cup side and juniors would fall to pieces.

 

[SIR LANCELOT]

He is a sitting duck for other clubs to grab him.Hopefully we keep him on long term.He does get results. Onya Willie Talau.

Gotta be a bit careful. McGregor & Demetriou were successful lower grade coaches. Neither were quite good enough to excel at first grade. A lot more politics at play when you're a first grade coach including having to battle with the dark forces of evil, despair and abandonment (our Board).

WT is a great coach, has the respect of the juniors coming through the system. There's no reason he couldn't be promoted to assistant coach of first grade and continue as Cup coach.

The SAC needs to also move on to a HC role at an English club, to at least complete the resume. Ryles, had almost the perfect apprenticeship and it's paying dividends. Young should follow suit and not wait around to be parachuted into the role with us. I also think Carr could move on (by himself) to gain further experience.

Mary took Dapto to the top 5. So there’s that.

OK, I'll take your word for it. I vaguely remember we had a good season (didn't win but made the finals) before Demetriou took over, and I thought Mary was the coach. I'm probably wrong.

Didn’t he win a few Premierships with Wollongong Wests ?

Please we seriously can't count A grade or country football as an indicator to anything..
