Recruitment & Retention 2027

[Eric]

Judging by some of the comments on other forums I think we have been pretty fair to Flanno on here. I still regard this as the best forum and knowledge base. Now sgiforum members I’m about to set you of the chain. Let’s go for BARRETT !!! He can’t coach but he’s a real good looking bloke YEAH !!!

For a moment I thought you were serious about Barrett. Though having said that, failed head coaches often make very good assistants.

Look, insofar as recruitment goes to fit in with this Thread, the Club has to look seriously at recruiting a better coach. No ifs, ands or buts about it. This obviously is just my opinion and that is the best that Flanno will bring to the club is a semi game, if that. He will not bring about a long term situation whereby our club will be top 4-8 every year and that is what the club should be aiming for. Mary got us a semi game which was good at the time but what was the use of that when he crashed, Hook crashed and now looks like Flanno will crash?

Recruiting a head coach that has the ability to ensure systems are in place to keep the club in the upper section of the ladder yearly is what I want not a maybe semi and that's it for years to follow.

Who are the realistic candidates to replace SFlano and why? I dont know if Willie is the right man, my only other thought leads to Dean Young, I would love for it to be Willie Talau but unfortunately probably a couple years too green still, who else is out there?

Peter Wallace ?

Michael Maguire is off contract with Brisbane after 2027. Short of winning another premiership, he’s likely to have most of Brisbane offside by then, which puts us in a reasonably strong position to target a proven coach.

Webster is off contract with New Zealand at the end of 2028. He is looking like the best long term target right now. I would give Flanno to 2028 and be looking to replace him with Webster in 2029. But would he sign with us? He is looking like a very good coach. If we could get him, he would be worth the wait. I would imagine there would be numerous other clubs lining up for his signature, including Easts.

Nathan and Ivan Cleary are both off contract at the end of 2027. I know I am dreaming, but that would be the best double signing we could make. Easts and several other clubs may also be looking at that package deal as well.

I mention Easts because 1 Politis almost always gets his man and 2 there has been talk that Easts may be looking to replace Robinson. Would Robinson be a good coach for us? At least he usually has Easts playing an attacking brand of football, but he has pretty much always had a very good roster to work with.

The rest of this year and all of the next 2 years for a coach with 37% win rate over the last 2 years and 3 games? Sir, WTF is wrong with your brain!!!

Yes. Let's sign Nathan and Ivan Cleary.
