Say we do go with Mick.
Offer him 2023 with an option in the clubs favour for 2024.
I think that if he is interested he will take it and if we want extend him later that should be easy to do.
We don't even need to decide before the end of July.
Now if all looks good at the end of July and it goes pear shaped at the backend of 2022 and the start of 2023, then unfortunately we might need to change coach again.
Any other coach we sign might want 3 seasons minimum and a hefty payout, nothing to say they will definitely get better results.
The key is understanding some coaches don't work at some clubs, Des at the Dogs, Bennett at Newcastle, Madge at the Tigers. The coaches past record at another club is no guarantee of similar results at a new club.

+x+x+x+xIt has been a great turnaround under Michael Potter. The team selections have helped. Averillo at fullback is no brainer. Shiraz and Schuup could be our centre combo for years to come. TPJ can get the ball away better than just about anyone playing today. The defence has steeled tremendously over the past month. I truly hope they haven't made a decision on coach as yet and if they have I don't want it to be Fittler. We are surely all warming to it being Michael Potter. Jimmy Graham made a comment that Mick shouldn’t be considered now… which was a week ago…. because he wasn’t in the top 20 when the job become vacant. Now that was probably true and a good argument. But there’s a lot changing since. I’d say he’s in the top half dozen now and considering a few that may have been in front of him have ruled themselves out - Ciraldo, Fittler - or have reportedly had a pencil pit through them - Flanaghan, he could be behind only Kristian Woolf. In fact I think he probably is, and things could change in the next twi weeks. As much as I don't like Flanagan I think he is the right coach for the job He is the best man for the job. I hope he gets it.
What worries me about Potter. Is that the team is playing similar to when Pay was in charge at the back end of the season. The only difference is the much better roster. All reports from a variety of sources is that the Board has put a pencil through Flanagan, he’s not in the mix like it or not. Ciraldo will stay at Penrith most likely, Tigers next bet due to the 5 year deal which we won’t match. Freddy’s ruled himself out. Woolf’s the next and it seems currently #1 target, BUT there don’t seem no rush. I think they got Woolf interested to the point of accepting, but they’re… meaning Gus… willing to give Mick time and a chance first. We keep winning or at lest performing he might jump ahead. I think it’s down to Woolf or Mick and Mick’s got his destiny in his hands over the next two weeks to a month.

In fact I think he probably is, and things could change in the next twi weeks. Is Mick any better than Dean Pay. Steve Georgalis or Jim Dymock at the back end of seasons?
In terms of experience. And I think that’s most important. Green and Flanno are both in front. And Flanno had Cronulla winning a comp playing Bulldogs footy. The coach is obvious. So far there are promising signs that team improvement is systematic, and not just a change of attitude or poor opposition. The difference is how we play, team selection, bench rotation and results. As I stated earlier, 2 more weeks worth of improvement will be more convincing. So far Mick hasn't even decided to apply. IMO Mick, Gus and the club are in no rush, everyone is going to see how the next few games pan out. Personally I thought Mick was a good coach when the Tigers sacked him. And that season is the highest they have finished on the table in recent seasons with a pile of injuries. So IMO when a club has a coach that seems to be working out, think carefully before making a decision. Clubs that change coaches more often than a Eels player changes their underwear always end up at the bottom of the table and usually stay there. When they get a hint of something different, take it, run with it and have patience. Everyone thought Kevie Walters was rubbish last season. I still don’t rate Walters. The Broncos have been gifted plenty of wins. Reynolds is the real coach there.
Look I’m happy to give Potter avo if he proves himself. And if Flanno isn’t available. But Flanno is available

We would be doing better with him still at the Dogs.
The difference with the other two is they went to clubs that are basket cases and can’t attract talent. We can. Flanno would have this current team beating most teams.

The point on players making a coach is 100% spot on. All Potter is doing is, selecting the right players in the right positions, getting the team playing as s team, simplifying player roles, and letting the players play footy. It is not rocket science. But is more much more than any recent coach, including Des, was capable of. I don't want to give you the list of square pegs in round holes under Des that would exceed my word limit. That is before we consider F'n up, juniors, player development and the cap.

Jason Alchin getting into coaching at Toowoomba - great player.
For us it is odvious Gus is making the decisions and while things are going well, I'm rolling with whatever Gus decides.
Someone let Gus know Dr Marki is available and I'm only taking a 40% management fee.

Coaches help players and players help coaches. With the right roster good coaches can be made to look great. But I want both. As Bulldogs fans we should all want the best.
So who is the best coach available?

Actually Micko, incorrect in Haslers final year 2017 we came 11th and missed the finals. In my opinion Des's heart was never with the Bulldogs. He wad a paid contractor who did his job but never went above and beyond for the club like he does for Manly.

But it does look like Des finished the season with us and was sacked in the offseason.
Either way. He had better results then any other coach for many years at our club. And certainly was a success

The thing with Des and the board at that time, is that he really needed to win in 2012 to get the monkey off the clubs back and buy himself another 5 year coaching gig. The club was already craving a premiership for 8 years and with good juniors in JR, Barba, Klemmer etc the expectation was that we would win one with the right coach. Failing to win in 2012 was a big kick in the guts. The pressure was then on. I didn't rate Des much after 2013 and was pleasantly surprised he could get us to another GF in '14, but I always felt we never deserved to win it with that style of footy and we put to the sword by Souths. After that, the balloon was deflated. Des' coaching had run its course and as much as he tried to keep us in finals his poor recruitment/retention and salary cap spending destroyed the next 4 years. I don't think Des is versatile enough to rebuild teams. He needs the players already in the system to which he can guide errors out of them and play solid conservative footy. In any case, he is Manlys problem now. Our team will need its shackles broken and we need a coach that can do this and bring in key players that can make this happen. Im pinning my hopes on a Mitchell Moses or Ben Hunt.

Des at Manly gets better resukts becuase he had / has DCE, Foran, Watmough, the Stewarts, the Turbos. Why did Des have such good players at Manly and in the end a lot of duds? Why was the 2012 squad much better than a 2017 squad which was well over the cap.

Gus has said that the future halfback is at the club.
My ranking and probabilities.
1. Hayward. 60%
2. BBO 30%
3. Wakeham 8%
4. Flanagan 2%
I really don't think it is Flanagan, but I am not prepared to give him 0%.
We have some other good young halves, but I think they are too young to be in the frame.
I expect the future halfback to be first choice for NRL in 2023.

Most interesting for 2023 is prop IMO most other positions are settled.
I mentioned that we signed Jacob Preston, with Kicks coming we need well stocked for 2nd rowers.
We let Vaughan go.
Like my much on Morrin, I have a hunch Tanner may debut soon.
Gus doesn't like to spend big money on props.
I think Jacko will move to prop as will King, TPJ, Morrin or Topine will be lock.
Thommo might stay or perhaps is contracted for 2023.
Patolo a likely bench player, maybe we just need more depth, just guys for good money who can do a job.

In any case, he is Manlys problem now. Our team will need its shackles broken and we need a coach that can do this and bring in key players that can make this happen. Im pinning my hopes on a Mitchell Moses or Ben Hunt. Agreed. We do need a coach that can attract talent. Maybe like Flanno did at Cronulla. Are you related to FlannoSr or his Manager???… Does Micko play halfback badly? Lol. I certainly do play badly.

Allamoti has such a huge future. He looked like the Incredible Hulk at times. The kid is a beast.
I would love for him to have another year in reserves then debut round 1 in 2014. But I doubt they will hold him back that long.

Allamoti's trial game performance was as bad as Payne Haas's first NRL game.... In fact it took quite afew games for Haas to finally prove he can mix it in first grade. Hopefully Allamoti has a better game when he gets to debut.

I dont want to sound sexist, but surely the league could have organised one of the men's Test game tonight and played this women's SOO tomorrow?

The game wasn't a bad standard. The game itself was competitive, but id much rather watch the men's game in prime time... There's 3 men's and women's Tests tomorrow and it would have been better IMO if they played both women's and men's Internationals at 6pm and 8pm tonight with the womens SOO tomorrow along with the other 2 internationals I just feel they missed ratings by not spreading the Tests over 2 nights.

As last year, I really enjoyed the womens game… some great skill and nowhere near as much crap in the ruck… I reckon the stand alone time slot is the right way to go and deserved…
Both U19s games also of a high standard…
All 3 games shits all over watching the highest level of AFL, soccer, and yawnion…

I had a nightmare this morning… I can’t remember any details other than the moment before I woke gasping… I was sitting in a lounge room I’d never seen before… old style timber framed TV… the newsreader announces “and the Bulldogs have handed Matt Burton to the Nth QLD Cowboys on a platter this week”… Pretty traumatic experience as I awoke in tears…

In touch you could kick, but the chip and chase was sadly out. 4 years of copying Steve Mortimer in the backyard wasted. My daughter played OzTag, but all I learned was boys would not pass the ball to girls.
