I think Wayne nominated him as his successor and he coached the Broncos in 2009 and 2010. From memory it was a pretty unsuccessful stint but he was sacked at the end of 2010. Believe it or not he was replaced by Anthony Griffin!
100%, I dont like the idea of Hornby, I would have preferred Arthur, what would Young's role be if Hornby came back ? Personally I think he would leave.
I am concerned about Hornsby as well. I can’t imagine Young staying on as his assistant. I do like Cheika but honestly I don’t know that he is the answer. Arthur may be the best compromise.
One would think that the Dragons wining the wooden spoon would suggest that the board get united and playing on the same page. With the way at least these last few days have gone with recruiting, that was certainly surprising and shows that there are a lot of good things being done by the club, but I am concerned about this future appointment of a coach. We are starting to get glimpses of what a team will look like in 2027, we need a coach that can maximize all our strengths and play the modern game,
Would have to mean a lot of guys contracts in the current squad have been paid forward allowing us to spend more.
Or coming back to the NRL, maybe the Chiefs with their tax free hooch, nowhere else will offer him that sort of money.
Yep, lets us get a year into the 21yr old hooker if that takes place.. see if hes first grade ready to back up Liddle.. if not gives us time to chase another.. its just 1 less problem to deal with.
I think what Foran has done with Manly has convinced Creagh, Watsford and whoever else is making the decisions Hornby is the right man for the job. He just might be though his record as an assistant isn't that good as far as I know. I just don't like the fact Creagh is the GM of football and Hornby head coach. Seems like the old boys still in control doing what is best for them, not for the team.
