Possible coaches for 2013 named on Channel 10 news.

[davos]

One thing that is for sure is that at least one of you are going to be wearing egg on your face when a coach is announced.

Personally I get the feeling that Taylor will be given the job. Most of the boys in the team know him well, and respect his methods in the 20s. I doubt that Robinson will be given the gig as we have in excess of $1 million worth of playing talent about to arrive and we wouldn't want an untrialled coach to be taking the reins.

I for one, also doubt that bellamy will be arriving next year. I would be all for it if it were true, but I doubt that he will break his contract and his links with several players in the team to come here. He may arrive in 2014 but that will depend on the nature of the person taking over next season.

i have given the names of the interim and also the 2014 coach to a couple of people on your site privately.

and for the record, I did that a long time ago now.

Freddy send me a PM on who it is.... Am keen to know

This. I beleive this too.

The only thing being if Bellamy announces it at the end of this season that he will be coming here in 2014, will the Storm keep him on board coz personally if I was a Storm fan/board member I wouldnt want Bellamy there anymore, its a waste of 2013 for them.

So something similar to the Hasler situation. Will be interesting the next few months

Bellamy a waste of money??? R u sure mate

Plus who cares what politis pays its on the salary cap and its not your money

After having anderson fittler smith as coaches mate i think we have no choice but pay overs for bellamy

[melon....]

So do you think Bellamy will be here in 2014 then ?

My opinion is he wont be....but I can admit I could be wrong. Im no guru like Fred.

But I say that he wont be for very good reason. That reason is whoever coaches in 2013. and that one's still up for discussion. Brad Arthur isnt a certainty, neither is Taylor or Robbo. There is no done deal that cant be broker if the right situation arises. Thast why unlike Fred, i have kept my options open, because regardless of what Fred is certain about, its not over by a long shot.

All other mail I have aside, I cant see Nick parting with a million a year for Bellamy. Unless Belammy asks for less I dont believe he will be coming for 1 million a year - which is around what he's asking I believe.

Are you sure we dont have a choice?

[Guest]

We do have a choice but i think bellamy is less risky then say
Taylor
Robinson etc,,,,,
I dont think we can afford another dud coach and paying them out when we sack them so we might aswell pay 1milion$ and get the best out of that contract and players plus having sbw and maloney comming u woud want the best out of them especially sbw

the way things lay at the moment is there is a board meeting tonight to discuss which way the club wants to go in its approach to its next coaching appointment, believe it or not it was Smiths appearance at the players mad monday celebrations that was the final straw, for some unknown reason Smith thought it would be a good idea to turn up to the players drinking session and start talking about what the agenda for next season was.

there are only 5 realistic options as coach Gus/Bellamy/Dymock/Taylor/Robinson

Gus - the job is his if he wants it, Brandy Alexander last night confirmed Gus was getting the "itch" to coach again, my thoughts are Gus is full of hot air and will never coach in the NRL again as he doesn't want to put his legacy on the line.

Bellamy - was a very strange response when asked about the Roosters job yesterday, he has been making all the right noises over the last 6 weeks to suggest he is ready for a new challenge, the question here is whether the Roosters challenge interests him and whether Uncle Nick will stump up the cabbage to get him here. Bellamy is the clubs dream scenario.

Taylor - was all lined up to become head coach with Smith as a coaching director but all bets are off now Smith has walked away, I get the feeling the club is not comfortable handing him the permanent reigns, will only get the head coaching gig in 2013 if Bellamy is coming in 2014.

Robinson - if Gus doesn't want to coach again and Bellamy can't be signed sealed and delivered right after the Storm's season ends Robinson becomes favourite to become the Roosters new head coach, he knows the club, the players will play for him and he has proven at Catalans he has the ability to get the best out of average roster, his known fiery personality is exactly what this club needs he won't hesistate to put rockets up players that require it.

Dymock - well respected for his work with the Dogs/NSW he is a players coach who has a great tacticle knowledge, one of his biggest downsides is his lack of intensity, many believe we need a coach who will deliver a much needed reality check to some of our players, not sure Dymock is the man to do this.


to be honest I don't think even Uncle Nick knows who is his top target at the moment, I get the feeling if Gus wants the job its his, but the man we eventually will end up with is Robinson.

Now we just play the waiting game

[Geohood]

If anyone wants a small insight to the mind of Trent Robinson.. how he speaks etc:

After watching it again and hearing how he was talking about the plans the club had etc, I think he will have unfinished business and would love to coach us again. Was he the mastermind behind everything and did most of the coaching? Maybe him leaving was a reason we fell apart in 2011 and 2012?

My thoughts are there is NO way Bellamy will come to the Roosters unless he has full & total control with NO input from the chairman on player recruitment or player retention. And also NO input into who is the captain or who gets picked in FG.

Can you see this working? I cant.

The only other guy who has FG coaching credentials is Daniel Anderson but maybe with all the Islander players the Roosters have it may not be the right move to hire him from what I have heard of his past so called problems at Parra & The Warriors.

I wouldn't write Elliott off either, he is a Rooster man & he maybe able to convince Nick to give him a shot. But I bloody hope he doesn't.

Going with Taylor or Robinson is a real gamble for the club I believe but it very well could pay off.

My gut feeling is that Trent Robinson could be the new age coach they are looking for.

Personally I would LOVE to see Bellamy at the Roosters on his terms because I truly believe he would bring spirit & pride to the club which would turn the club into a consistantly good side year after year winning premierships along the way.

There's only one coach they want and that's Bellamy and I reckon Politis might have just delivered his signature why else would they tell the players and Noyce not to talk to the media.

So they wouldn't go saying any dumb, hateful, or other things that might cause the club embarrassment.
And give the media ammunition to write any more nasty, snide, hate-filled diatribes against the club.

A wise move, ...the players play, and the club's official media dept boss issues press releases.

[Waylander]

There is only one bad apple(player) left and that is Mini, Aubusson, Masoe and Symonds. He is the lst bad apple.

There are only 3 types of people in this world, Goat-boy. Those who can count, and those who can't.

[bondi-boy]

The blame for the debacle has to be shared...it wasn't all Brian Smith's fault.

The players need to watch tapes of their own performances, closely.
All the dumb passes, dropped balls, missed tackles, and other momentum-killing mistakes.

Then there's the refereeing.
Unless something is done about the lopsided penalty counts against us it won't matter who the coach is [Freddy said recently that all the time he was coaching us we only won a few penalty counts].

Players shed few tears for sacked coach Brian Smith

The split between Smith and the Roosters players had become so toxic the powerful Roosters board simply had no choice but to tap the veteran coach on the shoulder and terminate his contract one year early yesterday.

Roosters chairman Nick Politis is at pains to point out no deal has been struck with Bellamy and highlighted how the club will conduct a full internal review of this season over the coming fortnight.

Politis remains adamant that everyone at the club - players, staff and officials - must accept some accountability for the tri-colours' lack of success over the past two seasons, not just Smith.

"I've got the utmost respect for Brian and what he's done for us as a club and it's unfair to lay all the blame at his feet," Politis said. "We're all accountable, myself included, and we'll be doing a review of the entire organisation over the next few weeks.

"That includes the players, staff, everyone. I want to point out we all need to accept some responsibility for our results."

The Storm lost a string of games in a row this season.
Now that wrestling coaches, chicken wing tackles, crunching tackles, grapple tackles etc have been banned, and the salary cap adhered to...the Storm are not the force they used to be.

Is Bellamy the coaching guru he's reported as being?

If he moves from the News Ltd owned Storm to the ''ripped off with 1-6,1-7, 2-8, 2-9 penalty counts ETC' against them most games Roosters...will he do any better than any other coach we've tried?
