Sack Flanno….

League scene + Danny Weidler reporting Hornby and Brad Arthur are the main targets for Head Coach
I'd take Brad Arthur over Hornby, but my guy is Trent Barrett. Yes I can hear all the oh no's but as a very experienced assistant he has won premierships with the Panthers and Broncos. His attacking drills are one of the best as attested by Deine Mariner who today on the Footy Show said that all credit must go to Trent Barrett for the way that they attack. Yes, he failed at Manly, Dogs and Eels (interim) but what I am saying is that we need a much better attacking coach - one that we have not really had in over a decade but we wont be able to get Barrett as the assistant because he will stay on at the Broncos for as long as possible and maybe he might end up head coach there if Maguire finishes up. Alongside him I'd bring in James Maloney (If he can overcome some personal problems that he went through). Not too sure about a better defensive assistant coach though).

The main thing is No Flanno, No Youngo and No Enniso.

Maloney just got let go by the cowboys for being a dope and getting in trouble with the law

And Barrett will never get a head coaching gig again, might be one of the great assistants but HC ain’t his go

I’m fine with Arthur or Hornby, my preference was Wallace but who knows if he even wants to be a head coach

If they can steer us away from Dean Young, I'll take anyone.. Hornby has no real head coaching experience imo.. but atleast hes gotten his assistant experience elsewhere.. and think hes a bit smarter in general... but be quite a dice roll imo...

Seems like JD & Arthurs are going decent in the UK, but I dont know how to assess their roster situation or really judge it.. I can see some pros and cons for both of those guys.. not enough to make a decision, but I would like to atleast talk to both of them before we make any decisions.... I thought this whole 2027 thing would happen over a month of interviews... and only once as had an interim in, but looks like we are going straight to head coaches.

I also rly didnt want the 2027 coach to start now and undo all the good will from players, fans, media that you get starting fresh in the offseason.. dont think there are many wins coming this season with no chance to fix the roster short-term, and no preseason to work with them... but Hornby willing to come now apparently.. so anyway we shall see..
