Technical Coach
Bencher
It was the right decision to move Glenn on in terms of performance analysis, the Penns know it but want to appear like the loyal good guys to the Stewarts and allow Toovey to take the heat for making the right decision in the long term interest of the squad.
In saying that from day one of Tooveys appointment i felt he lacked an aura about him and his small size does not help in having a leadership presence in the locker room.
I don't feel Toovey is a long term career coach who can attract players to the club and lay down a structured foundation for success into the future. Tooves improved our attack and straightness along with more expansive options, defence has slipped but in most part due to a lack of desire in players and loss of depth.
People here are too attached to the "leadership and admiration of his actions on the footy field" and think it crosses over into the coaching side and it doesn't.
In the same way that great players don't always make great coaches or even not the best people to seek performance analysis of other players on, coaching is an entirely different skillset for the most part, you can bring over elements of your character from your playing days into the coaching world but you can't survive on that alone.
