Absolute mercenary that bloke. All the talent one could ask for with one of the worst attitudes you could find.
Moses taking the paper bags and heading to the Roosters for just 100k a season?
Seems to me the shot-clock on scrum setting has been quietly forgotten about. Is that other posters' impression? Not that I think it's necessary anyway.
Still hating the no jeopardy rule on drop-outs. Worst rule change ever.

32 is way too many, there's a stack of squads already who are decimated with injuries.
The contact is too significant to ask them to line up that many games week in and week out.

Poor Kevin. 
Another coach to be sacked by the ponies.

Bit surprising - was certainly a down year but was in a grand final 12 months ago. I'd have given him another year.Poor Kevin.

This was odd.
There are 5 genuinely recognised ‘elite’ coaches in the NRL world (even one of them has his critics) and they’re all engaged aside from Tim Sheens and you would have to think the game has gone beyond him now. So it’s not like they could have a ready made replacement. You’ve made a grand final 12 months ago. Your 3 best players have all had significant time off injured and certainly one of them in particular hasn’t recaptured his best form when he has been on the field.
You did everything but win the comp and really there was nothing as a coach you could do to prevent what Nathan Cleary unleashed to turn that result on its head.
Surely that buys you the chance to right the wrongs of this year?

If a coach lifted my tigers from bottom to a GF they’d be put into the hall of fame not in the unemployment queue
Yeh agreed. Surely given next year. If they don't make finals then yeah Kev probably goes.
Had a laugh at Webcke being pissed off and not liking Maguire as a replacement because he coaches NSW.

Yeah I don’t really get that either.
Perhaps like other posters, I'd be interested to hear who these 'five elite coaches' are! Obviously Cleary and Bellamy, and...?
Personally, I think Matty Peet deserves inclusion: six trophies in 1080 days, five in less than a year. holder of the League Leader's Shield (Minor Premiership), Challenge Cup, GF winners last season (and still in it), and World Club champions. And I've just watched our Academy side defeat Saints 15-12 in their GF. English coaches in the NRL are rare, but I wouldn't be surprised if they came knocking a few years down the line. Whether MP would be interested, I don't know. But I think he has built a club ethos, on firm foundations, in much the same way as Cleary has done at Penrith.
