NRL 360° was talking about how Dean Young has improved the pack and mentioned the Couchman's specifically. It's just not true. The forwards, Couchman's in particular, have been very good all year.

Barrett has been a shit HC but a good attack coach.
Agree. In perfect world you hire ex players because they have turned out to be best in class so you get the best of both worlds but unfortunately not many of our ex players are in that category. Barrett however has probably done enough as an assistant coach to warrant consideration at least.
As far as the other guys like Gaz are concerned get them involved in more junior or part time coaching positions where they get to try their hand at it and you get to have a look at them. The juniors pathway should throw up plenty of opportunity for them to get involved if it's a career they want.

It's true but we already have a head coach who got the job due to his connections, not his record of achievement. That is just a fact no matter how much anyone thinks he is going to do well. So now we have such a head coach and a GM of football from the same team, they simply can't hire Barrett as an assistant. No way. If they do, may as well get Coops in as kicking coach, Sowie as wrestling coach, Gaz as forwards coach and so on.
So far DY hasn't proven to be much of a coach but he gets high marks for his Machiavellian political maneuvering. He knew old Flanno was out of his mind, utterly delusional in regard to KF's game and ability. Yet according to old Flanno who subconsciously knew he was delusional, it was DY insisting Kyle was playing well and was one of our best and so on.

The official tenure of Dean Young is off to a very bad start. I'm not surprised. I know we are handicapped in attack with a slow as wet week fullback and the worst halfback in the competition and possibly the worst 5/8 but there is no excuse for allowing them to score 38 points.
I think yesterday showed some effects from a tough game vs the warriors. Flat and out of juice late in the game. Got to ride out the rest of the season and bring on 2027.
