New Coaching Team

[frank stokes]

who keeps leaking all this stuff to danny?

Des...

 

[Eagle 1]

I reckon Parker is one of our utility spots... you can't afford for them all to be stars and he does a job in that position

Our best one on one defender in the backs.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Matty Balin could be one to go for in the near future, he'll learn his trade at the Broncs...mmm we'll see !!

I’m not sure he would uproot his family again to head back south.

 

[Stevo]

Talk of Eddie Jones being involved somewhere in the football department as well.

Some text from the aforementioned link (article):

Daley, who has also been linked to a role with the Sea Eagles, interjected with: “I can’t believe he keeps missing out.”

Rothfield agreed, saying: “I can’t work it out either, I really can’t.”

But believes it likely has something to do with the dramas at the Sharks.

“I think he’s being judged on the really disappointing things — let’s be upfront here, the peptides at Cronulla,” Rothfield said.

Daley interjected again: “But that was ages ago.”

“But it was very, very serious,” Rothfield responded.

“Then he was sprung while he was off suspended, there was a salary cap scandal and he had no role in that salary cap scandal but he was sprung sending emails while he was supposed to be suspended.

“I totally agree with you, it is time to judge Shane Flanagan on his coaching ability and not what mistakes he made — which I’m sure he’s learnt from.

*******

These are direct quotes from an on-air exchange between Laurie Daley and Phil Rothfield on radio earlier this morning.

For the people at the Club who read this forum AND the multitude of journalists as well, IF anyone believes that Shane Flanagan deserves a "second" chance, he has already blown that "second chance" by going against the conditions of his suspension during the salary cap scandal (he did not send one or five emails, the NRL Integrity Unit found that he sent more than fifty emails).

It is all about Shane, it was always about Shane and it is all about winning, his way, at any cost.

This is the opening paragraph on Page 9 of the ACC report titled "Organised Crime and Drugs in Sport" published February 2013.

"Some coaches, sports scientists and support staff of elite athletes have orchestrated and/ or condoned the use of prohibited substances and/or methods of administration."

He, Shane Flanagan was found to be "a coach" who condoned the use of prohibited substances, a man who three days after informing the club officials at Cronulla that they have nothing to worry about as Dank was not involved with any players and had no contact with "them" during his tenure in 2011, retracted that claim and then informed the Club that he stopped the practices after a few weeks once he realised Dank was injecting players.

The last paragraph of the excerpt above is one that irks me the most; I am judging him on HIS COACHING ABILITY, and that "ability" is well documented in the peptide debacle along with his INABILITY to refrain from contacting the Club and person associated with Cronulla, yet he did so and we are all meant to "move on", well I for one, will not "move on".

For goodness sake, he, along with Trent Elkin and others "....orchestrated and/or condoned the use of. prohibited substances..." at the Cronulla Sharks in 2011, some older players at the time participated along with some young, impressionable men who did as they were told; are we seriously entertaining the thought of employing him?

Why....can someone please explain this to me as it would appear that his "coaching ability" certainly benefited from some rather nefarious activities and conduct, culminating in winning a premiership, which if we are all true to ourselves, whenever it is mentioned we do so with a wry smile.

Leave him at St George.

The club will probably also sign Bronson Xerri next

He might start us having lineouts instead of scrums

Or maybe a rolling maul in the forwards 10 metres out

Innovation

Imagine if he can get us motivated like he did England when he took over...
Nothing bad about Eddie Jones being involved... altho Alan Jones would be funnier - given the 7's strong views lol

[John Nicholson]

They will need to strike a deal with Kimberley-Clark, so that Trenton has a supply of tissues to quell his habit of conducting the old ‘snot suckback’.

Kimberley-Clark would seal the deal!

No shortage of loo paper either (to write game plans).

Probably right on this TZ, but you never know what the future holds. Take Des for instance !!

I'm trying to be confident but I'm concerned that we're trying to get a Traveling Willburys like group together but we'll end up with The Power Station (apologies to any Power Station fans)

CLASSIC HIT ! LOL

 

[mickqld]

Whatever coaching team we end up with I just want to see them take charge, lay down the law on the players and take no excuses. You fu*k up you're dropped. No comfort zones , no camp fire kumbya hands in a circle bullsh*t. Make them mean, lean and hungry to win. Wipe the floor with the opposition and show no mercy. Get some steel and concrete back into this flacid bean bag forward pack for starters.

Wow...it's a good ole fashioned clean out.

Hopefully the purge then begins on the playing roster as well

That is some first class fact checking formatted research there @AndWeDon'tCare . Fully agree. Steer clear.

 

[wombatgc]

Agree. I enjoy his analysis on fox. He is pretty shrewd.

Agree with that. But that’s where he should stay…at FOX.

 

[wombatgc]

No way Ennis is ditching his cosy Fox footy for an assistant at Manly, he'd be on good coin at Fox anyway.

I’m still trying to work out the relation between his Nurofen ads on TV and the removal of the corner posts?

Not at all. None of those names (with the possible exception of Eddie Jones, who is very unlikely to come anywhere near Manly) inspires me with anything other than feelings of dread and foreboding. And even if they really all were the best of the best instead of the dregs and leftovers from the Last Chance Saloon, how do we know how they might work together?

The only thing that will give me any hope or confidence is if we manage to start winning. Until that happens, I think we're all entitled to remain sceptical.
