MELTDOWN Wayne Bennett - Moves to Souths

[1910]

Seibold has only been in Sydney 12 months

Maguire wants to be an NRL coach again ... now he could do that with the Tigers or the most well resourced, most prestigious club in the NRL

Three years, he was at Manly in 2016 and then Souths the last two years.

 

[1910]

Isn't Seibold originally from Brisbane?

Rocky. Hasn't been in the SE since he played ISC for Toowoomba in 2005. He's moved all over the world to coach Wales, Mackay, Melbourne, Manly and Souths and had his family in Wales when he was there so I don't think Brisbane as a city holds too much sway.

 

[Battler]

What's wrong with Brisbane as a city that would deter coaches/ players from coming here? I've been all over the world and I'd easily live here over shit holes that are considered desirable locations like NYC, LA, San Francisco, London, Melbourne, Paris, Cape Town, etc. Sydney is probably my favourite city in the world, but even its a pain in the ass in terms of getting around.

The house prices here are also lower than Melbourne (which I've already designated as a shit hole) and far lower than Sydney. Sydney is also only an hour's flight away.

I don't think anyone was saying that Brisbane is a deterrent, just that it isn't a draw card. Unless of course I missed that....

Nothing is wrong with it but if you're not from here and haven't lived here since 2005 and have shown you're prepared to move to Wales then living in Brisbane isn't going to sway you.

If he was from here and lived here his whole life then it might play a part to get home. I just can't see the Brisbane card being a factor.

Ben and Shane Walker should rock up to Red Hill, in best suits and ties, clipboards in hand.

I’ve spent time in all the places you’ve listed except Cape Town. I’ve also spent time in a lot of Europe.

To answer your question, it really depends what stage of life you’re in and what you’re after.

Thing is, most meat headed footballers don’t want culture, history and architecture or somewhere to settle down and start a family.

Most are young blokes with not much between their ears that simply want girls, money, partying and fun.

The Sydney night life used to leave Brisbane for dead, but lock-out laws have essentially turned it into a ghost-town past midnight.

Further to that, I do believe we are starting to see a large shift towards players starting families at a much younger age, which tends to make them mature much quicker and grounds them. Brisbane is perfect for this, it’s essentially just a really big town.

On another topic; I can’t see how you would rate Sydney your favourite city but don’t like some of the truly international cities. Sydney CBD is plain awful (reminds me of what Stones Corner was like about 10 years ago, just with tall buildings), Bondi is the beach version of Times Square and the harbour is one giant cesspool. Sure, like any city, there’s some beautiful suburbs, but in general, it’s just a more crowded, harder to get around, exorbitantly overpriced version of Brisbane with a harbour instead of a river.

Different strokes for different folks though I suppose.

EDIT: I think my gripe with Sydney is that it has no unique identity.

Brisbane knows what it is and what it isn’t. Melbourne likewise and it really does have its own identity (granted, some people love it, others hate it). But Sydney just seems to want to be everything and in doing so, really seems like nothing.

Also, Brisbane has far, far less wankers than Sydney. I mean, Alan Jones moved there from Queensland...

Queensland might though.

Lockyer to sit on panel to decide next Broncos coach

Brisbane legend Darren Lockyer will sit on a three-man selection panel which will decide the next Broncos head coach, with candidates set to be interviewed in the next fortnight.
Broncos director Lockyer, chairman Karl Morris and CEO Paul White make up the panel that will interview the candidates, which NRL.com understands will at least include New Zealand coach Michael Maguire, Broncos assistant Jason Demetriou, South Sydney mentor Anthony Seibold and Maroons coach Kevin Walters.
The selection process will be overseen by a senior independent Broncos staff member with the appointment of the successful coach for the 2020 season, as chosen by the three-man panel, to be ultimately approved by the Brisbane board.
All candidates have been required to complete psychometric testing, undertaken by an independent company, and will be given interview times.
The Broncos are not rushing the process but do not intend for it to linger either. NRL.com understands several interviews may be done as soon as next week.
The Broncos have examined coaching recruitment procedures and panel makeups in other sports, particularly the AFL, where all candidates go through the same process and undertake psychometric testing.
Wayne Bennett will coach the Broncos for his 26th and final year in 2019 but his successor will not be appointed in the same way that Bennett was when he returned to Brisbane from Newcastle in 2015.
On that occasion, the move to recruit Bennett was undertaken by two Broncos directors and ultimately ticked off by News Corp heavyweight Lachlan Murdoch.
Michael Miller, the executive chairman of News Corp Australasia, will need to rubber-stamp the installation of the next Brisbane coach but the process will not be clandestine, as it was in 2015 when bringing Bennett home was a coup that needed to be managed behind the scenes.
Miller has been kept informed this year of the club's plans as News Corp is the majority shareholder, via subsidiary Nationwide News, in the publicly-listed Brisbane Broncos.
The Rabbitohs earlier agreed to put contract extension talks with Dally M coach of the year Seibold back until the end of the 2018 season. South Sydney general manager of football Shane Richardson told NRL.com several months ago that the club's intention was to retain Seibold, who will have a massive decision to make if he is ultimately offered the Broncos job.
Seibold played for the Broncos in the lower grades and has coached several of the players in his former role as Queensland assistant coach.
He is a Queenslander and his character is also well known by White due to a long-standing association back to their Rockhampton days.
Maguire, who won the 2014 premiership with South Sydney, has already knocked back an opportunity to coach Manly with his sights set on securing the Broncos job.
Demetriou is highly regarded by the Broncos players and staff and understands the way the club works after linking with Brisbane at the end of 2016.
He also has a track record of success as a head coach in the state leagues and in the United Kingdom.
Walters, who won five premierships with the Broncos as a player, has stated his interest in becoming head coach of the Broncos for many years after three stints as Bennett's assistant.
He has the support of the Broncos Old Boys network and NRL.com understands he will be released from his Maroons deal, which ends in 2020, if he secures an NRL head coaching job.
Lockyer's role in selecting the next Brisbane coach comes hot on the heels on him being admitted to the Sport Australia Hall of Fame. The Broncos, Maroons and Test great became the 23rd rugby league player in the Hall when the announcement was made in Melbourne on Thursday night.

But no Scott Minto on the panel?

He's likely being interviewed by the panel.

Sydney harbour a cesspool !! Come on ....
As much hate you have for sydney you can't deny the harbours beauty , not one of those places has anything like it . San fran would be the closest but really it's all golden gate.

 

[Broncs_Fan]

They may not want to let Seibold go, but he is off contract.

so if we make him an offer and he accepts it, then too bad for Souths.



Our facilities blow those at Souths out of the water ... not to mention the quality of the roster we have here ... this would make it very tempting for Seibold to return to Queensland

Maguire knows how to win ... Assistant to Bellamy, Premierships in both NRL and ESL ... just needed to learn to taper his training and intensity a touch to avoid player burn out

What has Walters done as a coach that makes you think he should coach this great club ... was it his 37% winning record at Catalans in the far weaker competition

My point was more about having to build a whole heap of new relationships again with various people from the staff to players. He's already done that at Souths and implemented his systems.

I'm just saying it would be easier to stay at Souths than uproot.

I’m not describing how it looks, I’m describing the filth of the water, which is why I called it a cesspool and not an eyesore.

My point still stands; there’d be carp ponds that have never been cleaned with cleaner water in them.

easier doesn't mean better ...

besides he has good relationships with many players from his time in the QLD camp and the CEO. he also understands our culture having played lower grades for us

 

[Wolfie]

Really ?? San Francisco , NYC , London & Paris shit holes...

I agree, been to all of them and they are even though there are great places in all of them Paris and London especially are holes.

Would be nice to have the captain on the panel as well to act as the players representative.

Surprised we don't have someone who acts as head of the footballing department either.

Chairman, CEO and board member, but who's representing the interests of the actual football component.
