Henjak and Griffin took Bennett's legacy and drove the side south, there's no avoiding that.Thaaaaat's better. As soon as the trolls f**k off the thread is back on the rails.
To be fair, there is more to it than just making the finals that need be judged. The fashion in which they were eliminated can't be dismissed, usually a thrashing that makes it clear they were an outlier. Same rule can be applied to Griffins' tenure at the Broncos. We made the finals more often than not, but usually from 8th place only to be wiped out in the first week.
Hasler took a side that missed the finals every second season since the last premiership and has them qualifying for the final eight every year since coming on board.
I won't pretend last season's exit method was any good or that change isn't necessary but punting Des is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The staffing changes will hopefully do the job they were designed to and we'll ideally have a more competitive finish in 2017.
