Might be a tad early to be getting uppity about Green. The post JT era has only just started, and considering how big of a loss he is, being 1 and 1 isn't all THAT bad. 5 weeks down the line, if the Cows are still barely clinging on to somewhere between 10th and 12th, maybe you can start asking questions.
It's not about JT. We made a grand final without JT. Green's hands were forced (to evolve) due to a huge injury crisis. We still had a bit of luck in making that grand final, but Morgan and Taumalolo were two of the best players in the comp.
Unfortunately Paul Green is more stubborn than the Monty Python stubborness sketch, and has ignored the lessons of 2017. He is still trying to relive 2015, which was largely following the model of the Roosters 2013 premiership. Yet the times have changed, and even Trent Robinson has changed. Last I checked, Trent Robinson even changed in the middle of 2018 otherwise the Chooks were not going to get anywhere near the grand final. Yet Paul Green still stubbornly tries to do what the Roosters were doing two premierships ago... because he was mentored by Trent Robinson.
