Who's going to be the next CEO Jes? What about the next head trainer? We have absolutely no idea, those are issues for the club to address. Much like those positions, it's nigh on impossible from outside the club to formulate an opinion on Tony Iro's coaching crudentials just yet. We're 7 games into his first season in charge of the Juniors, last year he coached the Lions where they finished outside the 8. The variables here are huge and unknown. Of course the club would draw up a succession plan, that's an HR model any smart business must have in place, but I would suggest they probably have a skill set, knowledge base or experience type in mind rather than a specific name or date for that to be an issue and would subsequently be attempting to provide both Ackland and Iro with those learning cultures internally to give them the opportunity. Got no problems with this being discussed, but it's like picking a needle out of a haystack. Any number of variables can and will happen in the meantime.
2b2s, I don't recall Cleary being a Storm option, I do recall Brisbane expressing an interest, and hence the Warriors moved to extend his contract. I recall some quite supportive of Tony Kemp's selection from coming within the ranks at the time, but that didn't work out. Whilst it's ideal to promote within, it's nigh on impossible for me to think who our potential candidates would be at the year 2011, if needed.
