What we should be saying is, supercoach and the recruitment team did not make our club attractive to players who have come through the junior system for years. They stated at the STH meeting that & John Manah did not leave for money, so they were obviously sold another club.Blake Green was sold the same thing, whether it works out or not you can see the influence that a coach and a CEO like the Sharks and Beagles have goes a long way.
I am totally pi..ed off that Hagan et al make decisions such as not signing one of the half backs on the books, (Maloney or Hodgkinson), they have no foresight and Hagan is taking us down the same road he did at Newie. The road to mediocrity, I hope the players can rise above him and the coaching staff, but my fear is that next year will be tough.
Having said all that, the NYC team plays with a lot more flair and structure than first grade, good on the boys and lets hope they do well and take it out.
