Summert needs sorting fast then. We are a week in to pre season and we dont have a coach. What a joke.

interesting coincidence that Toovey finally makes his mind up on same day as seat renewal deadline. Anyone would think they were hoping people would sign up before deadline on assumption Toovey was staying.

I understand your frustration on the matter, but Leigh Beattie is currently the interim head coach; taking pre-season training.

Why not give him job? He did good at start of last season.

These first few weeks of pre-season won't need a head coach. It is all being led by S&C department so the Chairman has a few weeks until the ground work begins on the field. Would rather they take a few days to think what is right than jump in to a rush move.

That said, Jon Sharp has been at Tong in the last week so I know where I'm laying my money at the moment.

He was interim coach in name only. Someone else was taking the coaching duties.

I thought that too but experts on this thread insisted that the coach is the only one that can operate the weighing scales used in the initial fitness assessment, so everything has to wait.

Re: Jon Sharp lead candidate for new coach : Wed Nov 15, 2017 9:53 pm  

but lets face it, to be better than last year in addition to fitness all we need the team to do is get the basics right, and that should be phase 2 - catching a pass, catching a kick before it bounces, how to tackle, how to etc etc. One of the other problems of last year that contributed so we are told to the mid season malaise has pretty much been sorted, players that want to play - are there many of the tribunal claim players left?

So if having a head coach is phase three, wow, we should have a sweepstake on the most points we score in a game, and no Happyrchops your first choice is out, you cannot score nil points.
