I know it seems like the club are dragging there heels but I cant believe that they haven't secured the services of at least a few players and a really good idea where they stand regards a coach despite the arrogance of the aussies who think its there god given to take all the wheat first and give us the chaff.

I find it all very frustrating not getting anything from the club BUT, I can understand that the situation is a little different to the middle of the season, we have so many players leaving on Saturday certainly more than I can ever remember in one swoop plus the coach, it would be highly distasteful to announce any new signing for all positions before the leavers have even boxed there belongings.
I'm sure once the dust from Saturday has settled we will get a steady flow of news, lets face it they will need to start that as soon as with the season tickets now on sale (Fingers crossed)

Jack.

i think this is all done and dusted.... club are probably waiting until Smith has coached his last game before announcing it.

News out of Aus states that the Dogs are mulling between Maguire and Pay, which is what we've heard we are doing!

Whoever the Doggies appoint we will get the othe one!

I'd be happy with either - or Brennan.

Looking around social media the dogs fans are desperate for Pay and don't want Maguire.

Either way, after all the crap spouted on here yesterday about being left with scraps from the table.. We either end up with a SL and NRL GF winner or a head Coach desperately in demand in the games top comp.

Quite right. Either of those options and the club can be commended.

Well the betting as gone again,nothing there at all,this time it's surely sorted out.

RL mole reckons he knows who it is so perhaps it has been decided. We won't hear anything until Monday imo.

It's been decided and it's Dean Pay (said that on previous page).

OK. I'm surprised he's not gone to Canterbury to be honest but happy either way.

Fed up of waiting for them apparently.

Lol. They only sacked their coach this week. Hope he's that impatient with our performances.

I would like to think that things are moving ahead nicely with a new coach announcement imminent just waiting for TS to leave with dignity. Next week announcement would be a good bet based on absolutely no inside knowledge whatsoever

Yes I reckon they feel it would be disrespectful to Smith to overshadow his leaving party with an announcement.

I do hope it's Pay or Brennan, but I guess we just have to settle for whoever a) is prepared to move the family to the other side of the world, and b) didn't get the gig they wanted at the NRL club.

Either way it's a fresh start and a new era, something to look forward to over the off season. I don think we will see the benefits until 2019 though when we have the chance to strengthen the squad with that coach's choice of players.
