Agree to some extent Laj but if players don't tow the line then you'd expect the coaches/match committee to make tough calls and not pick those blokes. But yep, it's an across the board thing for sure which seems to have crept into the team.

In the middle of last year, when North and Shaw were really struggling, they announced that they were heading for a significant review and cuts due to the soft cap. That got all the assistant coaches very nervous and apparently their output and support for the senior coach was almost negligible. I hope you assistants are a bit more committed!!!

Closest to the pin....
Working on the basis of 'You don't hold a review unless you're sure of the outcome'

Teague to stay.
Most of the assistants gone.
A senior adviser- (Not Worsfold) appointed
A new or single captain.
Russell gone.

...and working on the 'tin-foil' hat view that this is just a time buying exercise....or it's a diversionary attack on Calais when the real objective is Normandy...in which case.

Lloyd-gone
Liddle to follow within a short space of time...(SOS's revenge.)

You missed one.

There might be a simple outcome of restructuing the roles of those staying, adding some talent and then delivering 3 flags in the next 5 years....

Yeah nah.  Yours are more realistic.  ;P

I've not understood Russell reviewing Betts, to me that suggests Russell has a role crossing several boundaries, I'm not sure it can work because in his fitness role he needs to be a confidant to the players but in review he is also an MC list management adviser.

Teague to step down to save face. The board and CEO gave him full backing, but will honour his request to spend more time with family etc. Wins all round.....except for Teague who was really pushed.

Clarko in.....
Full review of assistants at Clarko's request.
Maybe Power stays...most gone.
Russell stays because he was at Hawks beforehand i think.

Lloyd stays.....for now. Replaced next year with someone Clarko approves of.

SPS to be traded. LoB to be delisted.
Cyril Rioli to be lured out of retirement.

How's that for Crystal Balling?

For the record, that is basically the exact opposite of what i want to happen.

If Clarko gets the job I would expect him to bring his own team and not retain anyone not protected by the Liddle umbrella.
Agree i think he will step down voluntary and its already rumored the money is on the table for him...

FWIW, i think the best thing for Teague to do is take the boys to the pub. Have a piss up and get everything out in the open.

"If you boys want me to be here, i need you to win this game against GWS. Not just win it, but convincingly win it. Put no doubt in anybodys mind that you are behind me and we are in this together."

If they can't, or choose not to lift for the coach....then it could get ugly......which i hate!

I just read that Power is going to be stepping up to take over Barkers role for the rest of the year.

I reckon if you are clarko, you couldn't possibly cut Power. The others are fair game.

I think if Clarko or Lyon say yes then Teague wont get that chance......its gone past the wins/lossesIMO and Teagues only hope is if the big name coaches dont want the job.

I think he will want his own handpicked 2nd lieutenant, Power might be retained in a lesser role but usually when you pick a
big name coach they come with their own inner circle as part of the deal.
The recruiting is the interesting area for me and whether Liddle or Lloyd are prepared to let go and let a coach like Clarko
pick his own man in the main role.
