Just throwing this out there people.
What is everyones thoughts on bringing in Toovey as an assistant coach. I noticed on Monday night that Green has Cartwright and Furner on his coaching staff which both were first grade coaches, debatable if they were good coaches but regardless they did coach sides.
Im only thinking about this as I believe when Toovey and BA worked together that Manly either made the finals or made it to the grand final. (I can't remember off the top of my head)
I believe poor old tooves has been given a raw deal getting sacked and would be a good addition to our coaching staff. However I dont think he would take a assistants role but just wondering what everyone was thinking. Would there be too many cooks in the kitchen or does a team of coaches work better?
Cheers.

He should go to the Raiders. Canberra have a decent team, but need a coach who can get them to win those close games.
All of the other reasons aside, Toovey is getting his contract paid out for next year - for that to happen you can guarantee there'd be some kind of non-compete clause that restricts him from taking on a coaching gig at another NRL club until at least 2017.
He'll be Aussie coach.
This is why Manly is a successful club. One year of playing like shit is unacceptable to them. Injuries are no excuse for Manly. They make changes and get shit done. They don't pass the buck. Meanwhile, we blame the previous board, blame injuries, the media, the judiciary and re-sign hacks like Seff Paulo, Morgan and Kelly.
And people wonder why the Eels have won more wooden spoons than any current NRL club.
Wel,said avell.
As the Great Jack Gibson said"Winning starts at the front office" and we all know the history of Parra's front office. Manly have had their fair share of front office turmoil but one thing each administration expected and that is results on the field and this is the culture of the club.No year on year of bottom 8 results, they expect top 8. I think there is a bit of politics involved with the Toovey sacking but either way the Eagles put in processes very early on when they see things are not travelling well.
Our culture for a long time has been one to accept mediocraty. I am sure I will get replies disputing this statement but your point that we hold the most wooden spoons backs up my argument. Until everyone at the club changes their mindsets to one of mental toughness and a minimum expectation that anything less than a top 8 finish is not acceptable. This means that there are people and players at the club right now that need to be moved on because they are not up to the level required to achieve these expectations.
I don't think 2V made made the call with Glenn.
