Imagine Ponga and Grant in the spine. That's a nice dream

No from me to Allan, I don’t think he is any better than Isaako or Niu and if we are going to the effort to recruit may as well make it improvements.
I applaud the optimism around Grant but if he is making team lists then reality has taken a backseat so I’d throw in Tedesco, Nofoaluma, and Munster as well.
 
So if kevvie gets our coaching position does he still coach origin? Handy if he still had some involvement, whisper in a few blokes ears

No thanks Alex.

It might be best you concentrate on getting fit and getting on the field, staying on it and winning more than one game as the permanent captain before you start worrying about picking the coach.

That’s not supposed to be harsh or disrespectful either, but we simply can’t have the lunatics running the asylum (of course, there is a case to say the board are already doing so, but that’s another story).

In every strong and successful sporting organisation, the players play, coaches coach and boards and management manage.

So many cautionary tales exist to show how quickly things go south when one function of a club has too much power or oversteps the mark (the Titans with Hayne, Taylor et al. white-anting Henry and still being giant shit sandwiches anyway is just one example).

The absolute last thing this football club needs is more confusion and voices chipping their 2 cents in.

I'm the exact opposite - yes thanks Alex :)
First, Alex is not one of the lunatics.
Second, your examples of Hayne etc. are definitely great examples of what not to do, but that is not what is happening here with Alex - he simply asks to be part of the process - it's not white anting, its the exact opposite.
In my experience, the best and the strongest organisations get "buy in" from their people. Authoritarian and isolated top down management disenfranchises people and is not an environment for success.
And in our particular case, I can't think of too many things more important than the playing group being happy (or at least understanding of) who the new coach is.
Now please don't get me wrong, if Glenn waltzes in and says something like "all the players want Walters as coach, and if we don't get him......." of course this is diabolical and you are dead right to say we must avoid this.
But it doesn't seem like this is what Glenn wants. He just wants to be at the table. His voice can be heard, and he would speak for the playing group so their voice is heard. But most importantly no matter who is chosen he would understand the reasons for the appointment.
What happens is the players feel a part of the process, they know they have been heard, and they also understand the reason they have the coach they have.
It's just Management 101.

I don’t disagree with your notion in theory, but I would be incredibly surprised if any players had a say in Bennett being the coach at St George, Newcastle, Brisbane again and Souths. Same for Robinson at Roosters (as just 2 examples of successful coaches - I didn’t use Bellamy as an example as he was largely unproven when appointed). Indeed, I’d like to know if this has happened anywhere previously.

So far as I am concerned, it’s simply not the players place to contribute to the discussion around who the coach should be and the club allowing it only acts to open up a can of worms and blur the lines around what is acceptable and what is not.

After this season in particular, our players only need to worry about playing good football and let all the other blokes who are employed to do specific roles do them.

I guess another way of looking at it is this: I can all but guarantee the players wouldn’t respond well to the CEO or chairman of the board sticking their noses in at training and telling them how to suck eggs. Same applies in reverse.
 
I guess the players feel they can flex now, but their atrocious performance on the pitch mean many of these spuds should be thanking their lucky stars they even have a job.

If our board had a backbone, they’d be stamping on this immediately. As we know they haven’t remotely got one, they’ll probably jump on-board with this...

I can't believe he is still able to be involved in Rugby League. I don't want Flanagan, Trent Robinson's brother or Bronson Xerri anywhere near this place for the same reasons.

Huh? He sent a couple email ffs! That was his crime and why he is being punished. You're advocating for a lifetime ban!!!!
