Former Raiders and Bulldogs Assistant Coach and Mounties Head Coach, Steve Antonelli, will be joining the Rabbitohs as Head Coach of the NSW Cup squad for Season 2021.
Antonelli brings with him vast experience in coaching at the NSW Cup and Pathways level, as well as recently being part of the Bulldogs’ and Raiders’ NRL coaching teams as an NRL Assistant Coach.
Steve has been involved in Rugby League for over 35 years as a player and coach. He coached Mounties, the feeder club to the Canberra Raiders, in the NSW Cup between 2013 and 2017, winning two minor premierships, as well as being part of Ricky Stuart’s NRL coaching team as an Assistant Coach at the Raiders between 2014 and 2017.
In 2018, he moved to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs with Head Coach Dean Pay to take up a Senior Assistant Coaching role at Belmore, spending three years with the Bulldogs’ NRL set up.
Rabbitohs Head of Football, Mark Ellison, said the players and staff are looking forward to welcoming Steve to the Club.
“Steve is a highly-experienced coach with a passion for the game, particular at the Pathways levels with a focus on developing players to play in the NRL,” Mr Ellison said.
“He has worked with some of our players previously and he is well respected right throughout the game.
“We have some exciting young players coming through the ranks and Steve will have the opportunity to work with them and prepare them for a first grade debut. That is his focus and we’re looking forward to working with him to bring through the next wave of Rabbitohs at our Club.”
Lets hope Steve can add some real value to our pathways and identification of talent.
He has some good experience, i wint hold his time at the dogs with Pay against him, dogs were in a schambles then.
His resume makes for good reading snake,looks like a smart signing
Antonelli would have been the perfect choice as coach for the Knock on effect Eels team.
Absolutely spot on Baz, thats exactly where he should be.
Yeah Snake, Pay getting shafted by Canterbury was one of the worst treatments i saw in modern day league. He had nothing, no cap room, no morale, nothing to work with. Yet they still gave 110% every week with Pay. The year they finally got some cap money they brought Barrett in.
Whilst i rate Pay higher than Barret and i agree with your points LB, im not really a fan.
I like shrewd and intellient coaches mate, ones ahead of the curve with the ability to create a hungry and smart footy environment.
I can tell when i listen to Dean speak that he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, he's a bit slow, he's not cunning or ahead of anything, nor is he inspiring.
Id go as far to put him in the dopey catergory in coaching terms, i dont like those types of coaches, they just get outsmarted in the big ones and fuck your club up.
Dean was harshly treated at the dogs, but he'd never gotr anywhere as a 1st grade coach anyway, absolutely no ability or smarts imo, just a knock about bloke who thought he could coach.
If you watch videos of Barrett, he is very intellegent in his knowledge, his communication is decent without being spectacular. If anything his tone and the way he explains attacking structures can get a bit boring.
Compared to Kristian Woolf discussing defensive structures, his energy makes you listen.
Though i still see Barrett as a wonderful hire, working with Murphy who has been here a while but the attack has been good enough to make the 8 he can add something.
Gee we were going great under Nathan when he was here last lol, FFS, Nathan was absolutely useless and clueless and is one of the slowest blokes up top we could find.
We were in a complete schambles here undeer him not long ago, fuck people must have short memories, and the talk about him behind the scenes was really really poor, i cant remember one good word said about him.
This WILL be a total fail, just like he was here in his last coaching gig here.
No doubt this will thrill many eels fans because a golden old boy is coming back, these fans just love the warm and fuzzies it gives them.
Yeah i tend to agree, bit underwhelmed with Cayless getting NSW cup spot. He has never done any good coaching wherever he has gone, with us, the Warriors and assistant at Wests.
Let's hope for the best but underwhelming, i love Cayless and hope it works but not confident. Wonder if Rankin lost his chance with the way he went out in 2022?
