I don't think he can fix it. He is too much of a frustrated hot head to be coaching kids.
Some glaring issues i have with this bloke as a club coach. Despite being a 7 has never had a 7 thrive under his coaching. That is despite having ample talent to work with over the years. He is addicted to defence. It worked wonders at the Roosters, a mature side on the verge of a premiership window. They came out and smashed sides with their defence, young sides with too few pre-seasons cant hope to do that and it eventually fails. His recruiting, he never had to do it at the roosters, Gus had already built the side. At the sharks he wasted money on poor quality overrated players. His answer to everything is to put more and more pressure on players. He treats himself as an entity outside of the club structure, and at the sharks just lumped blame on the players, this is despite his old mate phill gould offering to help him because 'ricky cant coach attack', which ended in outright war between the two.
In origin his style works well, aggressive defence, passion etc. That doesn't work at club level, not with kids. In the Origin series his lack of attacking coaching was there to be seen again. Despite having picked a very mobile pack NSW failed to move QLD around the park. There were no set plays for Uate or Hayne or Stewart back through the centre of the field to take advantage of QLD's lack of lateral movement. He isn't a tactical coach's arse.
I think for the money you blokes paid him, you wont be happy with the results. Another knee jerk appointment by an administration way out of its depth.
