Yep, our form has been poor, especially effort levels for certain periods. And Moses/Gutho won’t fix that.
But sacking BA mid season achieves SFA!
While there is always the possibility that changes coaches next year will achieve not much, as we may be in the cycle that our squad is just not good enough after 4 years of making the finals.
Even during our last period of stability under Smith, we made the finals 6 times before 2 years of shit, before coming good again 2005-07. While replacing Smith with Hagan, started the period of decline….
Anyhow, I wouId have had a crack at Bennett. Not often an opportunity to have an elite coach comes along. It’s a massive missed opportunity.
I do think it’s time for a change and I expect it will happen once the season is over! The eels have already alluded that BA position will be reviewed after the season. And TBH I wouldn’t be surprised if BA walks if we don’t make the finals.
Plenty of time between August/September to review BA’s performance, recruit a coach and be ready for November.
BTW it’s been rumoured Holbrook is probably the leading contender at this stage.
