Agree. Carty is a very good man manager....politics @ the Titans was his demise. I think he's a great pick up.Understand that, but his record as an assistant coach (not a head coach) is very good, first at the Roosters and now at the Cowboys. Suggestions that he'll be there to deal with players day to day because Barrett isn't very good at man management (isn't that what a head coach does?) worry me though…
All boards question their decision of coaches. If they don't, they aren't doing their jobs. The problem is that it was leaked so early. Media don't need to know internal agendas. They need to source out the leaker and get rid of him/her.I'm not talking about Barrett's inexperience ! If Toovey had quite for personal reasons I'd be all for Barrett...it's the process that's pissed me off.
He had 2004 at the roosters under Sticky. He was not responsible for the good period the roosters had. Just saying.Understand that, but his record as an assistant coach (not a head coach) is very good, first at the Roosters and now at the Cowboys. Suggestions that he'll be there to deal with players day to day because Barrett isn't very good at man management (isn't that what a head coach does?) worry me though…
I can't handle the truth.I hope Tooves has his tell all book out for Christmas....(being the sort of bloke he is he probably won't)...but **** I'd love to read the truth!
In a word.....politics.
Tooves picked the wrong team (Quantum) to side with and he's paying the price unfortunately. Don't believe a word about it being for lack of results.
Are the players now playing for Toovey to send him out on the best way they can or are they playing because they are happy that he is now going? Interesting question.
Welcome to the dark sideThis is about Zorba, and his relationship with The Stewart clan. What a dickhead.
Let the head coach, coach. Toovey thought we needed to move on from Glenn. He also didnt think we needed that hack Luke Burgess.
You screwed him good and hard Zorba. I hope he returns as your boss one day, and your days are numbered.
Before anyone rips me, the clubs treatment of Matt Ballin has changed my mindset on this whole messy scenario.
Bozo can be harsh with his choices, but his stance on contracted players is too Parramatta like as people were suggesting to me.
I would like to respectfully disagree re some of the plaudits around Bozo.
Sure, He is an immortal. I am old enough to have seen him run around for the club and help create the MW legend that is the club. He was an earth shattering Footballer. He was also an earth shattering coach in the 90's.
Having the above two attributes does not make him the world's best selector. There is ample evidence of that around. Sorry, but I think that he has sold his soul to the devil here. (in order - ZtH (whom he played with... not in the biblical sense) and the Penns) If he was so damned pragmatic, he would have given Toovey a chance.
Oh, but he is a consultant. And Consultants always succeed by giving the customer (Penn) a solution that the customer agrees with. How far would he have got if he had advocated keeping Tooves When ZtH wanted Tooves out?
Hope you folks don't mind some dissent re Fulton.
Wouldn't it be great to go out with a GF ring?They're playing for Toovey and for each other. A lot of them won't be there next year and they realise that this is the end of the era that started in 2005.
^ Exactly -If you were the Stewart's ,you would be filthy at these ****'s for dragging your name through the mud & using you as their scapegoat for their own two faced, ego driven agenda.I agree 100% HV8.
And I said so under the article on the FOX page. To save retyping it......
"The powers that be wanted Geoff gone. They knew that Manly would not perform as badly as they did this year in 2016 with the recruitment and the retention of DCE.
So they were forced to move him on this year as next year there would have been no feasible reason to sack him.
I won't say Trent can't coach. But to suggest Geoff is incapable of doing the job with the appropriate roster and without a horrendous injury toll, is a joke.
He supported the Quantum board members in regards to player retention and paid the price. His sacking had ZERO to do with results or ability."
I don't think I can add anything else to that. We can all smell b*****it from 100 yards. It's happened. Let's move on. I'm going to support Barrett regardless of my respect for Tooves.
In saying that Tooves should be somewhere in the board or our CEO at least
