The Dragons had a pretty stacked team, they needed a finisher, and they got it. Bennett didn't just leave the dragons untouched btw, quite a number of quality footballers followed him out the door too, which is why they are where they are,
That's kind of my point Kiwi, we arent doing well because we dont have any of those big name players, that's the entire point im making... those big name quality, blue chip players are far more likely to deliver success than good coaching
If you dont have the cattle, it doesnt matter how f**king good your tactics are. We need to get the cattle. Tedesco, Proctor, Korisau and Cornish are all young players who might develop into those blue chippers you need to win premierships
Cattle > Coaching. It's that simple.
Stuart's coaching wont matter a damn, we'll be successful in spite of him if our cattle has some blue chippers
Perfect example is when the Raiders went on their run in 2012... Did Furner suddenly learn how to coach? Nope. Did the players suddenly start following directions? Nope. Our gun players just hit form and started playing like guns. And we won a shit load of games.
Blue chip players trumps coaching in terms of success, in practically every sport in the world
