It was Des all along coaching thread

[BOZO]

Far more eloquently put than me!!

And exactly what I was trying to say.

It appears that The eloquent @Ranger did better at school than us @Mark from Brisbane

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I believe it was initially reported that Ballin will join us in some capacity. It was never said he'll be our head strength and conditioning coach. Just us silvertails getting excited. Singe would be the perfect man for Ballin to do his apprenticeship under and gain all his qualifications.
Hasler Cartwright Randall Donny and Ballin has the makings of a good coaching staff. Offload Perrett and add another big boppa and maybe another specialist winger and happy days

Nailed it I reckon!

 

[BOZO]

Because Donny has extensive training and experience. Matt is early in his career and as far as I’m aware would only be qualified to be a junior (as in less experienced not coaching kids) S&C coach

Donny has proved to be good at his job and is also a good guy . I would be very happy with Donny .
Maybe Matt has gained his appropriate strength and conditioning qualifications for NRL ?

 

[ricardo]

Where's the taco girl "why can't we have both"

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I love Donny and would be pleased for him to come back but I reckon there is something very special about Matty Ballin. It’s a hunch.

I reckon Matt would be perfect for a strength and conditioning role. The advantage he has over Donny is that he played a whole career at the toughest standard and that experience would be invaluable.

I’m hoping we can have both.

From a fan perspective, Matt Ballin is solid gold!!

From what I read a while ago Ballin is still a year or 2 from being fully qualified for NRL head SC position, I could be wrong, just repeating 2nd hand, so would not surprise me seeing him back at the club in a junior SC role under someone else, hopefully Donny.

Nah (from what I can gather) I went and checked it out when this rumour floated. He went more down a mentoring side according to his LinkedIn. It’s generally a masters degree so it’s a big commitment. Also head S&C jobs are highly sought after and it’s unlikely you’d put a guy with no professional experience in charge of other S&C staff

 

[Budgie]

Donny without the canoe.

 

[Clint]

By the way disagreeing is fine, everyone has an opinion and everyone’s opinions are fine.

Some are just different!

And some are just wrong... if they differ from mine..

 

[Nice Beaver]

How do they fit Donny & Matt Ballin in the same role ??

Cage fight.

One survives. One to train them all!

 

[The Royal Soup]

Are you annoyed he got in first and denied you the pleasure of being sacked or are you simply outcomes oriented?

I’m frothing that I told everyone he was garbage from day 1

 

[maxta]

6 seasons at the dogs made the finals 5 times I'll take the dour and predictable structures.

The attack was outdated - not the defence or intent - don’t blow ya stack over the fact it got stail.....his methods are what is needed to turn Manly around.

I remember in around 04/05 they trained for a week with some special forces unit, from memory the players all thought they were dying.
