FFS.....what a joke of a club we have become.....

What did you suggest they did? Imprison him?
If the man's got family troubles there's not much the club can do about that.

I've been more than prepared to criticise the club in the past, but you can't hang this one on them.

Did I hear Tony Rea on the commentary for the WCC games?

Let's go for a good number 2 Aussie working in the NRL with a reputation and toughen the club up. McGuire esq at Wigan.

Perry....I have supported this club for many years..I was (until this year)a season ticket holder, along with my family for 10 years.....I have pumped quite a bit of my hard earned income into its coffers..If Joey has problems then he has my genuine sympathy and I wish him nothing but a bright future..But yes..I am a fair bit vexed off at another let down in a long history of let downs from the club .. If Joey has had reservations about his future in London for the last month or so then D H should have been sounding out others about the role and not kicking us long suffering fans in the nuts again and expecting us to grin and bare it while we fanny about yet again..A lot of us are on the brink of kicking our support into touch and this is another nudge in that direction..

Paul Cooke of Doncaster wouldn't be a bad shout, he's done a very good job imo at Donny with next to no money available. Steve Mccormack would also be a very wise choice if he's willing to take the job, knows this division very well and has a good track record.

I hope that all works out for Joe, it is reported that the club tried to work things out, but it was Joe's decision. We do need to find the right guy and quickly.

I'm not sure Joey was the answer we needed long term, but there is no doubt that important changes have happened while he was there, not least reconnecting with the fans.
Thanks for your efforts Joey, hope things work out for you and your family.

Agree, Joey wasn't the answer but was hugely enthusiastic.

What we needed was and is a defence....We don't seem to have one.

And now it would appear, a coach too! Would love to see Nobby, even if we could only afford him part-time....

Hey.....Whats TC up to these days? Could we afford him? Would he come back?

Dear oh dear. I know nothing of the NRL but is there anyone down under out of a job who'd do a job?

Kear and Noble don't float my boat for some reason

Re: Joey's gone! : Tue Mar 03, 2015 2:03 am  

A quick question. Why do people think he was out of his depth? He was an Assistant at NRL clubs for years?

Re: Joey's gone! : Tue Mar 03, 2015 8:11 am  

Answer to that one is pretty easy don't think that many people said that mainly 1 person. I personally think the bloke put his heart and soul into the job, you can see that in his face when he was interviewed, maybe that didn't help.
Good luck to the fella
