Coach for the next decade.

Hilarious !
Who has the St.k F C ever employed as a coach for a decade?

Don't believe all you read

Williams apparently also didn't ask 5 years - more spin

Do tell !!
Sen just said AR is not confirmed?

Had to know if Choco choked.... or the club did Control issues worries me - if AR gets the gig cause he's "more controllable" then we have bigger issues Agree with tef. Maybe the club choked because of the huge contract and panicked about a huge payout. I would of thought 5 years is a goo...

Great read, what a plus having him at the club.
Certainly brought some talent in.
Not everything is in disarray it seems.
Interesting stat re 11 wins per year over 10 seasons
All is not lost

Kingsley.... Also untried, and I think we need a proven in our situation? We can't gamble again.... Has there been many situations where a low profile coach has succeeded from coming from within th organisation ...... Knights, Brittian were mistakes? Longmire I think was transitioned well? Agree wi...

Dunno, when did Ross? Ridiculous statement . You couldn't even raise this post without Ross Lyon. He'll have a flag before SW for sure. I've already celebrated those great years and am looking fwd to even Greater things coming our way in the very near future,provided we attract the correct coach, W...

Taking the same steps as last time and expecting the outcome to be different is the definition of stupidity. Need to take a different approach which I fear we won't. Am truly hoping this whole panel thing is to just endorse an already made decision and or in part select the support coaches. If they...

Like any other person in the workforce,he had his chance.
He failed, move on
He will get a gig somewhere else,they all do .
He had long enough to sell himself to the club but couldn't do it.
I reckon the club went easy on him in the end....

Crickey I hope there joking !

Certainly a bit step up from SW ....yes IMO

Thanks Jaxons,
Glad the club acted now,makes perfect sense.
Let's hope the next coach is the perfect fit to take our new players
And history in the right direction.
I'm quite pleased SW is gone IMO ..

Certainly not the end of the world by any means.
Deemed not to be the right person to take us forward.
Club is heading in the right direction IMO ,
Exciting future ahead ....

Grow up mate, it would be completely unprofessional to outline all of Watters failings to the public… Airing his dirty laundry would definitely harm his chances of getting another gig, which I'm sure the club would like to see him do. Watters failed the test of a full review… it wasn't Pelchen's do...

Choco if he's really keen,
Leigh Tudor if available

Every number has its thread of legend and tradition in the club's history. These are made by the players (and of course not vice versa) But, also, the traditions are maintained by the club: spelling a number for a while after a legend retires (eg 35); handing 'big responsibility' numbers to great y...

Fair article, nothing too dramatic ....
Hopefully pelchen stays,Watters looks like he's dead in the water .....

Cause they see opportunity , years to develop there craft ...
We won't be down forever, and we have an awesome history with some of
The games greatest ever players.....IMO

Saw his highlight clip, looks a really good find.hard at it and good hands.
We've done well with Luke.....

Good for us ,his experience will be much needed next year!

Interesting letter regarding the players in the paper today that basically said they didn't
Get the job done 09/10 , so time to move on.
Maybe a bit of truth in that.
Good luck to dal, not the end of the world ,
Supporters are more emotional than clubs these days......

What I will do in future is not share information with our loyal supporters who can't handle the truth. The truth being that the club made a mistake 2 years ago, and it needs to be rectified before further damage is done. It is no shame making a mistake when you are having a go. The shame is acknow...

Maybe the real benefit if Jolly will be his experience and knowledge of ruck work after he retires.
Seems like he could be ok if fit.Thought he wasn't a bad player in his day .
Time will tell on this one.SW seems to know him and rates him....

I rate the Big boy,
But he's copped a fAir pasting on here for being a dud.
Why would a premiership side want a dud ruck man from our club?
Heard we're looking at Jolly for 2 years.....f f s.....

Not sure whether hickey / Rhys's will cut it.
Hopefully hickey has beefed up a bit over summer.
Obvious the premiers rated big boy.
