My tip is the tittens will be spooners and carty will be shown the door. No prince no 7 no future. Lots of losses and i think their doing darwin in the mix
$7 they are kidding. IMO Robbo's job is a safe as a bank. He would be the last coach sacked.
The reason for that is because I believe Robinson is going to surprise alot of people with how he turns the Roosters around over the next few years. I like what I am hearing & seeing of the club since he has taken over.
Bookies generally aren't supid but $7 for Robo to get the axe first seems pretty stupid for me. I reckon this bloke is going to be around for atleast two years. Was very surprised to see his name near the top of the list.
The Daily Astonisher, in their off-season boredom, have framed a market on the first coach to be sacked.
Steve Price - $2.20
Matty Elliott - $5
Trent Robinson - $7
Ivan Cleary - $8
right through to Dessie at $101..
Fascinating stuff....
I think Matt Elliot and Robbo are way unders. Let's wait a season and then re-do their odds, I can't see any of the new coaches being released in their first season.
However I think they have the right favourite. It's Prices second season, if St George don't improve, he will be gone for sure and certain, $2.20 is as good as gold!

The bookies aren't stupid, they are just hoping some of their punters are (which is a reasonable basis for a business model just quietly)
serious question, when was the last time a coach got sacked MIDWAY through his first year of coaching?
I havn't put alot of thought into it but I cant recall many.
I think this guy called Steve Goshin or something who coached the Magpies got the arse before the season was out?
Brian McClennan who coached the Warriors this year pretty much was gone half way through the season because he wanted to sack himself.
Coaches who's careers are on the chopping block half way through a season are coaches who havn't done very well in the previous season, thats why Steve Price & probably John Cartright will be the coaches to fall most likely next year.
Ivan Cleary is as safe as a bank. IMO Cleary is the next best coach with Maguire after the top 3 so you will see Penrith & Souths finish in the 8 next year ensuring there futures.
Furner, Bennett, Bellamy, Hasler, Henry, Flanagan, Stuart, Elliott & Robinson are all sweet.
I cant see Mick Potter not lasting out the season.
So that leaves Toovey who I dont rate as a coach & Griffin who I do rate as a coach maybe being the two under the pump if there teams dont deliver. For some reason I feel that Toovey & Manly may come to an unhappy ending next year.
I realise they are not in there 1st year I just thought I would add a bit more to it.
On a slightly different note, it was good to see Robbo flogging the boys in the rain this morning.
Refreshing change from last year when the team trained in a hotel during unfavourable weather.
too right BM, i think robbo has realised that there should be no 'softeness' in a football club.
also on another note, can a mod tell me why mojo grasshopper was banned?
