Billy Slater

[Red Baron]

This should be fun…

 

[cc eagle]

Next storm coach

 

[Rocky]

What's the source of this "rumour"?

 

[MadMarcus]

No chance of happening so what’s the point

 

[ManEagle]

If it waddles like a duck
Quaks like a duck
It's Billy Slater

Mmm Peking duck
About as close to Manly as I want him.

 

[TokyoEagle]

Undecided at this stage but feel, from what I have seen of him up to this point through the SOO, and his history as a player, he has the makings of someone who could be a very good coach.

 

[Seagles68]

Well, he'd certainly put his best feet forward.

 

[Bomb Voyage]

sign him up Tony

 

[Rafferty]

Would be a huge step in the right direction, but seriously Santa Claus has more chance of being struck by lightning!

 

[The '47ers]

We could definitely use some more Qld winning culture

 

[JenEagle]

Where is this coming from ? Are we really talking to him ?

 

[ManlyArmy]

Some may not like it but I would be open to it.

Someone out of the Storm system like Slater would probably be the closest to someone understand the Manly culture without actually being an ex-player.

Slater has reached the highest levels of the game, and has already coached Qld to a series win

 

[Red Baron]

Where is this coming from ? Are we really talking to him ?

Mainly from the Hasler thread. A reliable source has yet to be found. Just thought I would create this thread ahead of time just to make sure if it is true.

 

[Cameron]

No no no no no

Well I hope Santa Clause doesnt read this forum, because he wont leave the workshop if he does...

 

[JakeyB789]

Would take him in a heartbeat but there’s no way he’d ever coach us. Jason Ryles might be a more realistic target, need to look at assistants from the top, well-run sides ala Cronulla with Fitzy.

We don’t necessarily need a Manly man as coach, we just need a good coach full stop

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

I think he would be a great coach of Manly.

He probably has more respect for the club that most current players as he knows how much the past players bled for the team.

He might even bring some pride in the jersey again.

Not from the 7 ......

 

[Seagles68]

Just wondering if we would need him to sign 1 contract or 2

 

[Ryan]

Well, I've kind of been hoping we started playing eyes up football. Not studs up. Hard pass.

My picks:

Siebold (Cronk assistant), Flannagan, Cronk (Siebold assistant), Walker Brothers., Tooves. I'd also like a coaching director (Bellamy ideal). Let's get some modern game strategies back into the team, and discipline
