It's one thing being the 2IC but when the top job is taken it is a whole different kettle of fish. If any of you have been in a similar situation in your working lives then you will know; I have and was not as prepared as I thought I was.
I am not defending the man just the position he was/is in. He may have thought his team (the fit full side) with all their experience may have had something to also contribute to the situation....sadly that was not to be.

Well said, as I said he probably thought he was doing the right thing by helping out/stepping up whatever you want to call it, I am not trying to defend his performances, selections, tactics or anything, results don't lie, we've been horrible & that's injuries aside, I just think the bloke could be a walking heart attack with all the heat he is copping.

 

[Boundos]

aside from the fact that he didn't want to be head coach and took it under duress according to all reports, and has racked up one of the worst coaching performances in the known world of sports, that's a bad board decision.

However the question still stands. What is he bringing to the table as an assistant? Why should he continue on at the club in any capacity?

Yeah mate been there done that failed miserably. I failed due to knowledge, and not knowing how to get the best out of my team of 50 odd. However my enthusiasm was well noted and I eventually managed to gain the skills required to get back into the top job and make it work better second time round.

If I had come into that position dragging my feet saying "I don't wanna do this boo ****en hoo" I would have been marched from the building in favour of someone who wanted the opportunity and was enthusiastic to grow and move forward.

I know he has his haters, but Paul Kent has written a good article today on our plight and the hasty announcement of sharp coaching... Read it on fox sports NRL page...

What you are forgetting is that he has been head coach before so he knows what it's all about, he's not some assistant coach who has never been a head coach before.

Well he is a good bloke

 

[samshark]

Flanno said so

 

[Gumby]

This bloke is useless. Get rid of him completely.

 

[SWITTY]

NO point bagging sharp. We are a very ordinary side ability wise. We must by our polynesian players from the wiki wiki islands because we have the worst in the comp, a playmaker who gets paid on how many tatts he's got, a slow half, centers who can't tackle, and a captain who has great ability, but is that far up himself, and when he talks about cronulla he talks about "i", not us, or we, its all about him, and i hope whoever is the new coach is, he tells gallen to his face stop getting involved in every play just to get your stats up, because you are ****ing all of our attack when something is on early in the tackle count, captain courageous takes the ball for another hitup and kills the play. Im not alone either, plenty of top grade coaches will tell you this. Gallen gets the ball and cronulla pose no threat in attack.

 

[northofthebordershark]

So no point in bagging Sharp, but direct the hate to Gal? right

My support will go to the the guy consistently giving his all compared to that half assed moron we call a coach, every day of the week.

Hear Hear !!

 

[slide rule]

Gal's criticism of Sharp seemed more directed at him being put their, rather than at the man himself.

never go full retard...

 

[SWITTY]

Gumby its clear your an NFI type of supporter. Warren Ryan ( who is advises 3 of the coaches who's teams sit in the top 4 at the moment), has publicly stated that cronullas attack is far worse when gallen gets his hands on the ball 2 or more times a set. He has also stated that opposition coaches luv it when gallen touches the ball so often as it mean s cronulla is playing very little football against you. Why blame sharp when granted a few player's might not be having a go, but they are not first grade standard to start with. Gumby you shouldn't talk about footy, no idea.

Wouldn't it be the coach's job to pull a player into line for doing what Gal is doing? By not doing so you can only assume the coach is happy with it.

 

[SWITTY]

Please if sharp took the messiah to task over parts of his game that are harming cronullas attack, gallen would be straight into noyce telling him to sack sharp asap, and any other player that agreed with sharp. Just look at Todd Carney's face every set when he calls the ball and gallen runs in between him and the dummy half for another hit up. I bag Toddy a lot mainly because he can't tackle and doesn't want to tackle, but he has been noticed shaking his head on more than a few occasions when gallen takes multiples hit ups in a set and stifles the attack.

You could say the same about Flanno then, Gallen was doing the same thing last year. Blame Gallen all you want, but unless the so called people in charge have the nuts to tell him to do otherwise then he'll do what he wants. Flanno and Co obviously don't have a problem with it.....terrible coach.

 

[SWITTY]

I don't rate flannigan anyway, it takes a strong coach, one that is very safe in his position to privately get into a captain about something he is not happy with in his game. I remember years ago when steve mortimer was canterbury captain (and they were successful not like us), and warren ryan told him your no longer captain and your not playing to the game plan and benched him. That's a good leader whether you like the bloke or not. Gallen is a terrific leader was his determination and will to win, but he is extremely limited in attack,and until someone has enough gumption to tell him this, and not overplay his role with the ball, we wont go forward with our attack, and we will keep serving up the tripe with the ball we always do.

 

[bluey]

Do we have any set plays besides turning the ball back inside , in fact i cannot recall us scoring off one this year
