Dud Coaches.

[Andrew Walker]

That's no way to talk to Sir Drinxalot!

I mean I could've been harsher. I gave the benefit of the doubt to that moron who is coaching souffs.

Walters is a goose, bronco pty ltd's improvement is down to other factors.
McGuire is a martinet. Very divisive.
O'Brien has no self control.
Stuart burns people out.
Skelator, Bellamy and Cleary are all morally bankrupt.
Arthur is clueless.
Hasler destroyed the berries....................but I guess we owe him a favour for that.

Anyrate, I wouldn't want any of them near our Roosters.

LOL fcuking classic Eddie That will go down as some of your finest work on here

But they're very well compensated.
Heck, Barrett cops half a million payout for failing.

You could say that the only successful coach is the one whose team wins the comp.- Meaning the other 15 fail

Big Jack Gibson described success as if you win one game -might have got that view from when he took over coaching Easts in 1967 as the previous year (1966) they didn't win a game -18 losses - 0 comp points - they made the finals in 1967 and again in 1968 and so the legend was born.

Sure Barrett gets a payout but one would have to say his head coaching career is finished in the NRL and well maybe anywhere or in any capacity even assistant coach roles.

Although I did notice that Mick Potter will be the Dogs interim head coach for the rest of 2022 and surely he would not have expected that to occur.

That should be 11 wins for Faifax, not 1.

[eddie]

If eddie means the disastrous back ended contracts that Hasler has a knack of, then I agree, the money some of those “stars” were on near the end of their contracts were criminal, and left the club with no cap room for years.

Exactly.........thank you Milanja
Hasler cared more about his own reputation than the future of the club.
They're paying for Haslers semi-final appearances with wooden spoons.

Russell was coaching a bunch of 'kids' if I remember correctly.
"16 yr olds versus the men" think I called it.
He didn't have much of the assistance coaches have today.

That doesn't excuse the way he carried on.
Too many public tantrums and off the planet half time addresses.

Des and Castle because of those back ended contracts left the dogs in the mess that is still playing out today. The clubs been in the doldrums for 5 years and don't look like they are getting out of it anytime soon.

[eddie]

They seem to be falling like tenpins.
If Brown wasn't prepared to move his family OS................why sign to coach the "once were" ?

Anyway it begs the question who's next?
Griffen?
Holbrook?

it's like an agatha christie murder story

IMO other than Robbo, Bellamy and Bennett, no coach has been consistently good. Cleary's emerging and is clearly the in-form coach so I guess you can add him to that list as he has a premiership to his name now (and seems to put 50+ on every other team).

Even then... Bennett's had some shockers and Cleary had a LOT more chances than Robbo before he came good.

IMO coaching is a thankless job because you either win or you lose. I don't think there's a solid, working-class coach out there. Arguably guys like Hasler and Sticky fill that void but I can't think of a lot of others (and both are very club specific IMO).

Guess we'll see what Slater's like. Freddy, Mal, Slater...etc are a different kind of coach though. Most coaches are shyte! I'd argue because it's difficult to get your foot in the door and a specific kind of person gets earmarked. Robbo and Bennett are special in that they weren't amazing players but did enough to get within the 4 walls of the NRL and have leveraged that.

Yes............the plot sickens

Nathan Brown is like "I'll coach for the rest of the season"
He gets told "na, on yer bike............and try not to drop all your shit when you put it in the car".

[Eggspert]

Surely Hollbrooks time on the GC must be up? I get the he gives off a nice guy vibe feel but his results have been horrendous. The GC is an area where there must be a competitive team & they have spent big in recent years for no results. He should have been gone after losing to a Rooster reserves team in last year's finals.

The AFL have been pouring money into a sinkhole that is the suns.
For whatever reason, sports on the goldcoast just don’t do well.

Whats with Lodge and Brown saying they don't want to move to New Zealand??!! Why the fark did they sign with the Warriors??!! We all know Lodge is a low human being but that is so weak from Brown. Pathetic really.

[Headless Chook]

Not sure how you justify that. He took them to the finals each year he coached them.

Missed the finals in his last year with them and destroyed their salary cap for the next 5 years. I think that's pretty good justification
