Serious question, what is your biggest complaint about his coaching? Or is it just results?

Player retention, look at whom we have let go under his control (Hammer, Feldt, Connelly Lemuelu etc)

Player recruitment (Luciano, Kyle O'donnell, Karl Lawton, Bateman etc all garbage)

Player weekly selection (playing Townsend in 2024 over Clifford after the mid point of the season was ridiculous when Townsend was so out of from....I could honestly make a whole thread on this aspect itself)

You only have to look at last night to see how poorly coached they are in D to see whatever he's doing with them isn't working.

Cowboys need to move away from Drinkwater. When he is good he is very good but he hasn't been good enough for the past two seasons. Do you have any young decent fullbacks coming through. Two more years of that Taumololo contract doesn't help either. The club is clearly rebuilding at the moment, some decent looking young backs coming through but not much in the middle.

You'd think the Tamulolo situation would put most clubs off every doing it again wouldn't you

I'd offload Drinkwater to any club willing to take half his wage on the cap, he is absolute garbage. In his place i'd put Purdue back there ala Lockyer so he can grow into his body and chime in when needed. The kid is all heart which is something i cannot say about Drinkwater.
