Coaching

Posted by Iggy Iggz on October 30, 2013 at 10:21am

Brad Arthur is really the coach we have needed all along, defensively minded and also has a passion for the club. Brad Arthur can't do it alone and I think our assistants need to be top notch as well. 1 needs to be an attacking planner and the other one needs to have worked with u20's successfully. For our under 20's coach I am really keen for Holbrook, he looks the goods. Duneman would actually be a great choice as an assistant, my other choice would be JT but he won't leave so maybe Kimmorley or Walters tbh. We need a very good trainer and that medical officer thing would be good too. If Sandow doesn't work out I really hope we have some cash for a mid season signing.

Couldnt agree more mate! I think Arthur is more a forwards man from what ive heard, so I think they need to go with a former Half such as Holbrook or Duneman,or even better Kimmorley.That IMO would be a perfect fit.Arthur seems to be a real Defence man which is good.We have the strike power in Hopp,Hayne and Norman we just need to get our D structure right and have commitment to make the tackles.

Good news, Moi Moi wants to ink a new 2 year deal at the end of next year.

  Bad news, Moi moi should retire at the end of 2014, we don't want another Hindmarsh playing 2 seasons too long taking up cap space. It's been 4yrs since Moi moi was at his best.

  Moi moi still has more impact then any of our forwards put together. Only one who bends the line but he is getting on in age.

I'd be keen to sign up Shannon Boyd, he is a beast.

  You sound keen

I don't think so, I reckon next year we'll see the meteoric rise of Kelepi Tanginoa and Jnr Paulo. Both played a bit of first grade this year but I reckon they'll make their mark on the comp as two damaging runners of the ball.

Has Holbrook been confirmed? If not I'd still rather Hutchinson
HKF October 30, 2013 at 4:17pm

I would only re-sign him for 1yr if on the cheap.

  I still don't think we'd need it for prop/second row we'll have. Mannah, Mossop, Allgood, Lussick, Jnr Paulo, Tanginoa, Terepo, Pauli, Santi, Alvaro, Loko(?), Ualesi, Edwards. It'd be wasted cap space.
