Just remember guys (and girls); Michael Hagan came in at a time when Brian Smith had just about brought Parramatta to its knees, in terms of team morale. He over-coached, over-disciplined, treated players like school-kids. Hagan came in and did ther only thing he could do: he adopted almost the opposite approach. He treated the players with respect, treated them like adults. Put the ball in their court. I think the players gradually took advantage of this and, after a reasonably successful first year, they completely lost the plot in the second year. I`m not saying Hagan is the best coach in the world; but he has won a premiership. "With Andrew Johns", I hear you say; but Bennett won with Lockyer, Langer, Walters, etc, etc, etc,. And Melbourne have won with a sh*tload of stars. Every team that wins a grand final has a sh*tload of stars. Hagan had a young Andrew Johns, Matthew Johns and Robbie O`Davis. I think that`s comparable with other G.F. winning teams.
I get a bit sick of people treating Hagan like some second class moron, and ridiculing him all the time. And when you mention that he 'quit'. Come on; you can`t seriously believe that he wasn`t backed into a corner and told to quit, can you? Anderson was just off contract. Parramatta wanted him. They told Hagan to quit. I don`t think he is a quitter. I admire him.
Are you serious bro,or you just having laugh?Im serious in that question.I think it is painfully obvious that Anderson is not doing the job he was brought into do because he will not:
"Sack Inu for being out of form" or "Finch for being sh*t".
Also he didn't drop Grothe in round one, and if he had of we wouldn't have played so well this week... and we would have lost so we could have been more miserable.
FFS I love being miserable.

Hey Swiftstylez
Just out of curiosity... for someone who is so in love with Michael Hagan, why do you have a username which makes everyone think you are a lesbian?
Swiftstylez ? How is that lesbian?
