Over the past 3 years the Dragons have fallen to such depths that any win seems like a major event.
Let's not kid ourselves; our football team is wallowing in the bottom 8 mainly because of management decisions made on coaching staff and recruitment. For the Board to stick with a usless coach like Price and at the same time begin the season with so many fringe forwards would be the main reason for the Dragons being outside the 8 so late in the season..
Management rated Price above Mary and so appointed Price as coach and Mary as Prices assistant. Management sacked Price for not being up to standard and appointed Mary as interim coach – probably the most logical thing to do. However, to appoint Mary (who in the Boards eyes was not as good as Price) as our head coach for 2015 and beyond is a ridiculous suggestion and in my opinion, not in the best interest of our Club.
Surely members really don’t believe that Mary could solve the teams problems and lift us into the top 4 where we belong.
The only reason for the Board to consider Mary for the head coach position would be more to do with economics than team success. Paying low salary and buying time until better days seems to be their preferred policy. A policy like this makes it very clear that those in charge are not up to the job.
Members, just imagine what it would be like if at round 6 in 2015 we are one of the bottom 4 teams in the competition and the currently available experienced coaches are committed elswere. Just another wasted season of football.
