To me it is extremely important whoever you do choose must apart from the normal qualifications any 1sts team coach must have, is the ability to attract players of quality to come and play under him and for our great club.

Well DY has finally spoken and it's nothing more than expected. Ennis gone. Fair enough. That alone will be fuel for his commentator mates. If nothing else, talk of Drinkwater joining (on mega dollars) has so far disappeared. Personally I'm not sorry if it doesn't eventuate. I think we're in for more turbulent times but something had to be done. Good luck to Reed.

I meant average in the old fashioned sense of neither here or there. To be average with the rabble Flanno left behind is overacheiving.
I hope he does. I'd like to see him earn the position as an assistant next year under a new coach.

I hope it's true. I'm happy with him or Arthur. Wallace rounded out my third pick. I'd be happy with any of those 3.

Look i hope Deano does amazing things for us and keeps the job. I just want the good times back.

I’m on board for a non St George/illawarra affiliated coach like Cheika/Arthur
Obviously see how it all plays out with young over the next few weeks but it would be very interesting having Cheika as coach

Surely the board isnt allowing us to go left-field??? Would love us to try Cheika just because I want to do something different this time.. but he would need excellent assistants... Talau probably one, its nice having someone all the kids know and love... he also brings the recruitment pulling power Watsford is talking about.
I was listening to Richo this morning on SEN, listen to him talk if ur inclined (link below).. u can see how much he gets it and how well he describes things.. I think he would have made a club changing GM.. but.. if we got someone like Cheika.. he brings some of that gravitas:

Cheika, Talau and Wallace would be a dream team but not sure that we could lure Wallace as an assistant as it would be sideways move for him and early talk of both Cleary's to the feather dusters he's probably a chance of the top job at the pennys.

Totally agree Dragsters with what you have said here.

A lot more talk around today re Cheika coming to us.
Robinson saying that he "is ready to go" and has the "mindset and skillset" when asked about our job.
Sounds like Cheika wants it if we decide to go that way...

I'm warming to that as well. My first choice was Brad Arthur but warming to Cheika.

Just don't tell me he has a son in his late teens or 20s.

Mug Fan mentioned a couple of weeks ago how he was a good man-manager. Even if his technical knowledge isn't on a par with some coaches due to his background in rugby, with a couple of technically minded assistants, like Talau and Young, it should work well. In theory anyway.

Was thinking it probably helps that the cowboys and Payten win some games to prevent them making a call on potentially getting Dean Houng as their new HC
Gives us more time to assess and really cast the net far and wide. Wouldn’t be helpful for us if cowboys lose 3 in a row and Payten gets the Bullet and by round 13-14 they’ve decided Dean Young is their guy before we feel comfortable deciding on that

Dean has said and done the right things in his first few days but lets not lose sight of the fact he has been an assistant these last 2 years. What was he doing? Just accepting Flanno's diktats without challenging him at all? That's how it looks to me.
