Good. He’s a lightweight and a royal bore.
Dew has him well covered.

If we get a Coaching Director we need someone more iconic of the game.
The way I see it (and let’s hope I’m wrong) is whoever the club gets as coaching director could potentially be Dews replacement in the near future

Never understood the role of a coaching director - To learn from a successful experienced coach?

Dew did that under longmire for a long time.

He’s the coach - either he thrives or dies on his own sword

Coaching director should be somebody who won at least a flag as a coach.

The coaching directors job at GC would be to direct Dewy to the salad bar and the toilets after a curry

How about our beloved Kenny Hinkley. Media speculating a clause in his contract might get him booted at seasons end if they miss finals. We did love Kenny.

Kenny was desperate to get the gig here, he didn't want to extend at Port so he will be fine to go if they threaten him or push him
I'm a big fan of Kenny and my mail was his wife was very keen to get back to the Coast
I have a couple of maybe possiblys with this
He gets sacked and comes back as Director Coaching- fantastic- and brings big Dicko back with him-
