Peter Ryan moving on

[Professor47]

AGREED whole heartedly with what is being said here...

the number of times I'm yelling at the screen "WRAP UP THE EFFIN BALL" has been too many.

We have to one of the worst teams at defusing offloads aren't we?

 

[Jeba]

Like others I am not sure how Tunza would go as defensive coach, but I am sure he would be useful in some capacity to demonstrate and instill the technique that we need to use. Maybe as an "assistant defence coach" eusa_think

 

[joshobro]

I think we need someone who is not one of the old boys, someone to come in to the system and change the defensive patterns and add a bit of aggression. Peter Ryan going is the best thing that has happened to the club in a while!! When we were getting smashed in the slump last yr for him to come out and say it doesn't worry him is a joke.

Even though he was a winger he is supposed to be a good defensive coach so maybe an offer to Les Kiss who is the Irish Rugby defensive coach at the moment, but no doubt he would be on a fair bit over there so it might not be worth his while coming back.

Trying to think of other options who may be around. Any other suggestions?
Kevin Campion might be a decent option, he lives on the gold coast apparently and was a great defender and was supposed to be a good coach as well.

Might be hard to get would be David Gillespie, although he would be good.

As I said before we could poach Gillmeister from the titans haha.

Stu Kelly would be a good option

As an example of what not to do?

 

[Coxy]

Well many people say great players don't make great coaches.
Ergo, shit players must make great coaches.
Ergo, Stu Kelly for coach :P

 

[Charmamba]

Scott Minto!!!

 

[OXY-351]

Jarryd McCracken

Jarryd McCracken

His brother Phil is better at coaching how to plug holes.

 

[Charmamba]

Phil McCracken teaching Wanka how to tackle?

 

[Raw Boned Youngster]

From all reports, Wanka is an explosive player. But i digress.
If Wanka is able to stand up he has his future in his hands. We need the rock hard type in the club, someone who is able to grow and really extend himself.
All he needs is the sniff of an opening.

 

[dukey]

I've heard the opposite. He's not a team player, he tends to go himself all the time.

 

[ningnangnong]

I heard his first name is Dog.

 

[Coxy]

LOLZ!

 

[Professor47]

It depends how long Wanka can go for. He probably has to test himself a bit more so he doesn't tire out too early.

 

[Foordy]

IMO, we should do whatever we can to sign Trevor Gillmeister as the defensive coach

 

[nopatience101]

Griffin has been handling a lot of the defense stuff during preseason...

 

[Foordy]

whats he like as a defensive coach though?
