I'd get rid of Potter at the end of the season but not before.

Your not gonna get a top level coach at this point in the season and it's not worth rushing in and getting a no mark in.

You should be looking at the likes of Kearney for next season as he'll get your players motivated.

The last thing you want is for your new coach 2 come in now and have 2 work wonders with a poorly conditioned and low on confidence team. New coaches need a full pre season 2 make the changes happen

Is Kearney out of contract at the end of the season?

Speaking to my dad before and he was a name that was mentioned as possible coach to take the reigns, would be a good choice i think, if available.

Are 11 coaches going to lose their job every year now?

I agree. We need someone that is going to demand the respect of the players. People like Meninga, Fairleigh or even Sculthorpe although he lacks coaching experience. You get the idea though, someone that the players are going to respect and work for because, IMO, they don't seem to want to play for Potter, but i put that down to his poor tactics.

our board are fools for offering him a long term contract. idiots

This is a ludicrous thread. Whether Potter turns out to be able to deliver us a final appearance this year or not, it's just silly and complete idiocy to reach some of the conclusions in this thread after just one game of the campaign.

I prefer to view the offseason as an opportunity for the coach to plan, adjust, prepare, develop, bring through more youngsters etc., players and our gameplan and expect that's what they would do. Therefore I think it's more sensible and rational to use a period of time greater than one game on which to base my assessment. You cannot ignore the fact that we are talking about the first game of the season.

Why some of you have decided to overlook the offseason and reach your conclusion after one game? I'm not interested in hearing you say "I'm basing my assessment on what happened last year and that's enough for me". I want to know why people are forgetting about the offseason and have reached their decision after one game.

For me it's a similar situation as Bradford are in (albeit Potter took us to second last year which is hardly a failing) but if I was a Bulls supporter I'd be giving McNamara more than game to prove himself given he's had some offseason to work with and new players.
