NEWS Milford Discussion Thread

[Mr Fourex]

Does seem like somebody dropped the ball.... Milford probably has very good reason to be annoyed at someone, would guess his manager?

Could be his mrs.....?

Not that I dislike your comment @Mr Fourex

there should be a “wrong but funny” feature.

Jd had a fuckinghumungous sook when he missed out on the top job at the broncos.

If he has a good year at the Rabbitohs we could throw him a 6 year deal.

I wanna laugh AND cry at this.

Too soon!

I find it interesting that people use the records of coaches in QLD/NSW cup as a reason to suggest any particular coach is a good one. I would say all you would need is to be an approachable bloke with an above average understanding of footy, you don't have to motivate them. They'd be motivated enough wanting to play in the NRL.

The Walker brothers even managed to win a comp, as joint coaches.

He's certainly no better than an O'Brien, Ciraldo or Fitzgibbon, at least not yet. It will come down to how well he can manage the team he's got and then how well he is at getting blokes to play for him in the future. If he was a flop it wouldn't surprise me, if he had success it wouldn't surprise me either, it's definitely an unknown, which is all I was saying when I listed out the queries Souths have hanging over their heads as we head into the season.

The thing I would say ISC coaching success has over assistant coaching success- is you know who is contributing what, you don't know that with assistant coaches. You can say that assistant must be good they're coming first but it doesn't always work with assistants.

ISC you have a much smaller budget and not state of the art facilities and it's your own ideas, it's not Robinson's or Bellamy's you're implementing- although I know that plenty of assistants contribute ideas.

You're dealing with guys juggling work and NRL players coming in on Friday and working with them before Saturday.

JD has a good grounding in coaching both as a head coach and an assistant. He's worked his way up and paid his dues compared to some of these assistants imo. That wont guarantee he will be a success, but i think he's more than earned his opportunity.

Rightfully so. That decision got us a spoon.

Rightfully so. That decision got us a spoon.

Rightfully so? There were other candidates.

His record is a combination of success from all different aspects of coaching. It's not just successful assistant coaching, or winning a QCUP or NSWCup... ITS ALL OF THEM .. over a sustained period...at DIFFERENT clubs.

FMD it's almost impossible to find someone more qualified to take on a head coach role.

 

[Broncapz]

Rightfully so..because they screwed Wayne Bennett hard. And in the end screwed us the fans.

What was steve prices record like as a coach before he got the dragons gig?
