The Official "RFC Coaching Position" Discussion Thread

[ROLLS ROYCE]

Pretty certain no-one has any idea who will get the job out of hinkley and hardwick.

No leaks, just people's opinions so it sits 50/50 at the moment.

 

[TigerForce]

Are we now in a period of "Total media blackout" on the issue of the next coach and who that might be?

Looks like Hutchy, Robbo, Caro, Jakey, Damien, Patty, Greggy and the others have all made a pact. If RFC aren't going to leak accurate information to them then they are not going to report anything. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Niente. Rien. Nichts. They are not even going to speculate.

We may not find out for months if they keep this up. We might have to go to the first match next year and wait for the after-match press conference to find out.

Crutchy's panting with his tongue so he needs to be fed.

 

[meltiger]

they actually said that during the telecast, something along the lines of regardless of which candidate gets the gig, these players are in for a pre-season the likes of which they have never had before.

Good thing, so long as it's within reason.

We all know what the Chimpish one did to himself last pre-season

I heard today that they had a dinner at the club last night and Hinkley remained back till very late. Make of that what you will, but from the same source that gave me the mail that Benny Gale was returning to the club, although they did get the position wrong.

May be related to what was mentioned on triple MMM yesterday about presentations being made yesterday, however my source thought that the presentations would be made to the board tomorrow night and we should hear a decision by Wednesday.

I suppose time will tell.

 

[brigadiertiger]

Why doesn't someone on the board just leak something that is total *smile* to the vultures let them feed on it and then let them try and explain why they were so wrong.

I know i'm slow but what has Jade done wrong? Hinkley, Hardwick, dammit gromit (anyone but wallace) are a risk as coach. Rawlings from where i stand has made a great start is now best positioned to make decisions on player futures.Whoever gets the coaching job out of the two finalists at best has an outsiders perspective and about a month until they have to make crucial list decisions.. hardly ideal. Another year potentially lost to go with the past 5.

On the subject of Richo and Cousins ..keep Cousins and decide if Richo can be our Bradley or Harvey ie play into his late 30's if his body is sound his dedication to the cause can't be faulted and there will be a lot of youngsters you would expect who will need to see genuine champions and the level required for a premiership ...hence keep Cousins and subject to physical firmness Richo.

i can see where you're coming from but i just can't agree... i mean we're talking about jade rawlings FFS. but in saying that... whoever we appoint, i won't be happy until i know for sure a minimum of 4 of the 30+ year olds have been given the chop

Hickley is now the clear favourite, has said exactly what the heirarchy of the RFC wanted to hear. As for Harddick, well sometimes telling the truth isn't really good. Apparently Damien has read the RFC the Riot Act and has advised them he will be taking the broom and sweeping most of the footy department out the door and will bring his own team to take over. Apprently some softcokks at the RFC are bitter about his proposed changes and the truth and don't like that too much.

not saying i agree with you but the cynic in me thinks thats definitely a possibility

After you've done that, consider this draft is going to be the shallowest in some time for a variety of factors. Not JUST the Gold coast influence. So of all years, this year is not the year to do it.

I understand your sentiment, but it is just not realistic IMO.

if not 2009, which year is the year to do it then? certainly not 2010 or 2011

The decision has already been made - but not announced.

Is that a question or statement TT2.

That is the way I understood too, if you are stating that.

Or should I more correctly say that was the inference they made.

For Terry to say it he must know something, or maybe he was tripping when he was telling the story.

The decision has been made by Cameron. The board just need to ratify it if they have not already done so.

 

[Smoking Aces]

And the winner is?

 

[Tigerbob]

And the winner is??????

I heard Cameron wanted Hardwick.

I heard Hinkley has it.

I then heard no Hardwick has it.

Now I have heard Hinkley is currently at the club.

I love the fact I have no idea.

Well played Richmond! :clap

Mike Sheehan just stated On The Couch, that Hardwick has his nose in front to get the job. He either knows something or as usual is just pulling something from out his ar$e.

 

[DragicevicFan]

If Hardwick wants to come in and put a broom through the joint and clean out coaches, players and fitness staff, he's my choice.

He has a 50/50 chance and he like all other journo's have no credibility if he gets it wrong.

He knows nothing. Like everyone else other than the men about to make the decision.

 

[brigadiertiger]

Iheard it would have been announced except that after our last performance both candidates are lying on the floor banging their fists and feet screaming nooo wtf have I done.

First one to regain some semblance of sanity will be appointed.

Just wait until Footy Classified later on tonight. There will be more guess work by Hutchy andd Caro.

Look forward to it.

I suppose we will see Hutchy with a banana peel on his shoulder after scrummaging around in our bins.

No doubt. The fact he knows absolutely nothing would be killing him.
