Sack Seibold Immediately

Sounds like Watmough has ground his personal axe & it's somehow managed to affect the club right up to first grade!

He was never wrong about DCE though, was he?

 

[Cliffycomeback]

So three ex players that have no experience running a top grade team at any level,whether that be NRL,SL or NSW/Q Cup? I think some people need to stop thinking that someone with Manly DNA is the only way forward

Now you want a coach who has run a team in NRL, Superleague or Cup? Not someone who has been an assistant somewhere. That would have ruled out a lot of good young coaches going round today.

The NRL is littered with failed coaches who were the "next big thing"..... wrong job, wrong time.

Someone who has a good history and a resume from a strong club like Panthers, Storm or Roosters would be where I would look. A few young coaches seem to have made the transition from assistant to head coach quite well eg Craig Fitzgibbon, Cameron Ciraldo and although early days Jason Ryles has been doing some OK things cleaing out the steaming pile of shxt that is Parramatta. I'll be surprised if Eels don't start to ascend the ladder in coming seasons,

I wonder who the other old boys are besides Watmough who are pushing the rebellion.

Yeah but even a broken clock is right twice a day so I wouldn't place too much stock in that.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Broncos are privately owned club aren't they? I am not trying to be a smart arse but out of interest why do the old ooys hold so much sway up there? Doesn't make sense to me but I hear it al the time on TV as well and I have never understand why?

Because of their success in the past , they very much run the joint

I'd put a lot into it. He was the whole reason he left the club.

The single reason why that winning culture and fierce competitive attitude was lost. DCE being made captain , the multi million $$ deal and his "brand fixation" and the retirements of those great players transitioned the culture of the club totally.
