I wish luke lewis would make a press release.... Wanna know if he is going to be a shark or a tiger. Both are making big offers but I'm not sure the sharks have the space with guys like tupou having 400k options next year, carney will get a pay rise I'm sure and Jeremy smith isn't guaranteed a release. We are losing Ellis, heigington will most likely move on and lote will get a smaller contract if at all. Plus, we did a great job training skando in America for a coaching position which is what Lewis is looking for after he retires. I'm sure gallen and Farah have both been in his ear which is going to be a factor

 

Thank ****. Only about 14 rounds too late.

 

That board is a basket case mate. Great decisions appointing osborne and kearney atsch

They should be the ones getting punted.

 

edit: just some **** head calling in to mess with people, Lewis future still not known

 

who will replace kearny... alot of damage has been done at the eels, take a coach a few years to re-build and no decent superstar in there right mind will go there, the current board hasnt had a clue how to recruit players or coaching staff for over a nearly decade now quite sad really,

 

they will continue to throw huge contracts at just a few players and the minute injuries kick in will have no depth... Sticky won't go there IMO... he is happy coaching just NSW

 

I'm no fan of the board either. Still a NZ coach who's been mentored by Belly ache and a small degree, Bennett should've been a solid appointment. I could coach that side to better than 9 wins out of 41 games. Letting Noel Cleal go was Parra's biggest mistake.

 

IMO, Stuart will definitely coach at club level next season. Unfortunately for blues fans, he has rules out doing both.
The day to day dealings of a club coach would be too tempting to a pure coach like Stuart, plus it offers better rewards.

Canberra or parra is the rumor.

 

Here's an off the cuff thought, how qbout Brian smith coaching the blues?
I'm assuming he'll be sacked by the scum at the end of the year, and he has an uncanny ability to get instant results. Origin only gets played 3 times anyear so those motivational speeches etc won't really wane on the team until around 2040.

If Stuart goes, I can't really think of any better realistic candidate.

 

I think he'll stay in Sydney, the situation with his daughter is important & they are settled down south in gods country

 

I'm not convinced he'll coach at club level yet, but I can't think of a replacement either, unless Fittler & johns did it together or something

 

Yeah, he said that he has just brought his house in the cronulla area too.

 

possible replacments? jason taylor, jym dymock, steve gorgorlas, nathan brown, ricky stewart, chris anderson, missed any 1?

 

Ricky Stuart?
Steve Georgalis (won't happen)
