Way tier 5 description reads sounds like that applies for actual players, but maybe not coaches/managers. Whats the description for tier 2?. maybe we've been granted our tier 5 license, hence us being able to apply and be rejected for phoenix but are still waiting on the tier 2 needed for Toovey.

Being us, I expect it'll all end in Tiers

seems to me it's like this, if we stay up he's our coach, if we go down he's gone..

Where's he going to be 'gone' to, though?



He's not had a job in the NRL for a year or so and presumably, since he's here in the Championship and has no visa, we're free to assume he's had no offers from SL either, even though there have been vacancies. This suggests to me that his name isn't exactly on the lips of lots of clubs, (big or otherwise).



Geoff may well be the coach who leads us back to SL and to Grand Final glory and then stays for ten years to be our best coach ever. I really don't know, I can no more look into the future than anyone else, but if that is to be the case then, there are very few signs about.

Toovey's a chartered accountant and has apparently been making enough money doing that in the time between him leaving Manly and coming here.



If we do go down I don't expect he'll stay.

....A pity that, because if we had any money, we could have used his accounting skillsets!

Can we not employ him as an accountant? And then he can coach on the side? Would that be a different visa?

I think there's rules against that...

And since when did we ever employ somebody who could actually, ya know, keep proper accounts?

The way we are playing you have to hope he is a better accountant.

But he aint coaching the team........................................

.........................................So he can't be accountable! Hasn't got an awful lot going for him at the moment has he then!
