Just been doing a bit of reading up on Shane Flanagan on various NRL boards, despite the doping thing, he sounds exactly the type of coach we need. Cronul fans saying he turned them from a team people expected to beat into a team that no one wanted to play as they were tough and always played for the full 80, apparently he was excellent at getting the best out of what he had but had an eye for talent and also put in place excellent pathways for the talented youngsters to come through.

if we went for him we need to give him free reign on who he has as assistant and make sure he has a big input in player recruitment.

He's also free to come over at any point.

One massive plus for me is he hasn't got any ties to the club and personally I think that is what we need.

Yep absolutely agree.

Flanagan now evens for the Job. Wane 3-1. Bookies sense something

Report on social media that Richard Marshall will become assistant coach, regardless of who is brought in as head coach. Now I'm sure he's a decent coach, but shouldn't the new head coach be selecting his new coaching team set up?

Didnt work out well last time with Furner and Lowes did it? Apparently they were barely on speaking terms for most of their tenure.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Tony Smith back to tutor Richard Marshall.Where they together at Wire?.
Re Furner and Lowes.Don't blame him falling out with Lowes who should never have been employed at any level
