Isnt it funny how Ryles requested all of these changes 3 years ago and we said no... We could be 3 years further down the path now if we had Watsford at the helm

I don't think watsford would've changed the previous decision. Imo these decisions have occurred because of what's happened in the past. I think the board would've pulled the rug under him like they did with webb.

John Morris would be a good pick up in my opinion. Handy player, coached Cronulla for 2 years, made the semis in both. No ties whatsoever to the club. 45, so young in age, fresh ideas and doing well as an assistant at the Tigers.

Can you believe there’s actual morons in the board of directors thinking Dean Young should get the permanent gig?

Genuinely they should do a poll with them all and whoever votes Young gets sent to a mental asylum

Brent Read said we were having meetings today and things likely to happen prior to tuesdays official board meeting.. so we shall see, I dont think Flanno will stand down, but genuinely I am worried about his mental health. If he was gone tomorrow.. then yep I agree Young seems the most obvious for a short-term situation... its not impossible that Flanno coaches 1 more game though I guess since they appear to be moving straight to 2027 head coach recruitment.. not just interim.

The general fan goss (accuracy unknown) is that the favourites are Hornby or Arthur if the WIN side can get the Dragons side to give up on Young.... i.e. that Hornby may be the compromise given he is still an ex-dragons player.. and supposedly hes willing to come now if its a permanent role (if indeed we wanted that)... and noting that Hornby has no more head coaching experience than Young (i.e. none), but atleast hes not the son of a board member or another grumpy old fellow.

Arthur I dont know the status.. they have spoken to other coaches too though... I can see Arthur and JD have decent Super League records.. but no idea how to really measure that vs their respective roster strength etc when comparing them to Peters for example.. hopefully they are speaking to many others.. but I doubt many others would be considered. I do really hope the Watsford assessment of 'how we got here' will help them be really clear that they need a coach that is adaptable to the game as it continues to change in years to come, and who genuinely places importance on the process of getting the best out of young players (not just lip service).. cause that appears to be the reality across all NRL clubs now.. esp once 2 more teams come in also.. the average roster age should drop again.

Im interested to know why people not only on this forum but other forums and fb think or believe that because Young is the assistant coach he should automatically be next man up?

This poll almost perfectly matches my opinion. First choice Arthurs or Cheika. Wallace just after them. WT needs to be a first grade assistant before being head coach. After that, Hornby. After that, none of the above.
