McGregor will be the coach. He didn't miss the tackles today.

There are seven other sides who are not happy with there coaches either, which of those are we going to replace him with? Hasler? He was on the nose until the team decided they needed to take the shackles off and throw the ball around. Henry - doubt it. Michael McGuire? He is on the nose at Souths.

I believe Jason Demetriou would do a great job with them if they do give Mary the flick, however I think he may get picked up by the Titans. he has had success wherever he goes, either as assistant or head coach.

Dragons offered Bellamy huge $ and were knocked back, same as Bennett. Doubt Parra would let Brad Arthur go any time soon. Not too many other options......

I agree and I think McGregor is fine as the coach I don't get the mindless noise of some fair weather supporters who are always wanting someone sacked without any sort of better plan. The players all seem to like him and respect him, they turned up every week and had a crack.

Other teams worked us out after the early season start; compress defence, reduce their defensive spacing and limit the forward momentum. Then the attack is limited to one side of the field with Widdop as McCrone was solid but offered very little creativity.

Jason Demetriou is sitting their waiting for Bennet to pass away and would be crazy to coach the Titans IMO.

Cheers

It's tough to be smart on the footy field. It's not smart to be tough.

Junior Paulo was named Canberra's player of the year tonight.

No surprises Cotric was rookie of the year.

Then there were four

Top effort by the Cows, far to good.

Eels saved their worst for their most important game of the year

any truth in the rumor, will mathews and joel thompson could be at the sea eagles next year.

 

[Brendan_B]

Will Matthews had already signed for an ESL club I thought. Widnes maybe?

Thompson as far as I know is still at the Dragons. Will Matthews is definitely gone. I spoke to him two weeks ago and he was not sure where he would end up.
Other Dragons leaving- Jake Marketo said he would be Leaving the Dragons however staying in the NRL and his manager was working on a new deal. Kalifa fai fai loa is retiring. He was originally announced as a signing for the Toronto wolfpack, however he told me he was not going now.

I could be wrong but I heard on some forum that Canberra were looking at Fai Fai Loa as a backup.

When I talked to him two weeks ago he told me he was retiring. I guess if a club threw some $ at him he may reconsider!
