New coach Poll

Full support of the board and they are gone

Well you can’t stab someone in the back until you are fully behind them first.

I see Matty Ballin is currently leading the poll with 18 votes (22%) Edit: now 19 and 22.4%.

Look, as much as we love Matty Ballin, 2 time Manly Premiership winner and all that ... please remember how bad he was as Blacktown's coach. Hence why he's only been an assistant coach since.

All these suggestions , seriously are they really much better than what we have ??

Just because a player was great doesn’t mean he’ll be a good coach.

From the list being mentioned Matt Ballin perhaps , although he seems pretty entrenched in the Broncos system so he possibly knows he’s “ next up “ there and wouldn’t move as a result.

Yesterdays Tele has Spoony, Des and O'Brien as the 3 coaches under pressure of the sack.

Willie Peters has been endorsed by JWH & M Pearce after being coached by him.

And Now Ennis. He has got it good now at Fox, why would he want to give up that gig to come and get tortured at our club

What are people's thoughts on Michael Monaghan? I believe he's been an assistant coach for some years at various clubs now. Currently with Des at the Titans I understand.

NB: I'm not actually advocating for him to get the job, just curious as to what people's thoughts are. I don't know if he's even ever expressed any interest in stepping up to a head coaching role. I was just wondering how he is regarded by players, pundits, commentators, the general rugby league community etc because you hardly ever hear his name mentioned.

And any case, even if he was killing it, he'd probably be considered too close to Des for Penn to ever consider him.
