I always figured JRo to be a stop-gap utility at best, and not a first-choice in any position.
Yet everybody from coaches and commentators alike seem to love him.

His presence killed off any Joel Moon potential and its doing the same with Inu now.

He's been at the Warriors since 2004(?) I think, and in that time he's had two good seasons imo. The rest, average or straight up rubbish.

Thats a good point, I don't think he will get fired during the season unless we go on some crazy 10 game losing streak but if we miss the 8 you would have to think he would go at the end of the season.

Not sure if Bluey would be gone if we miss the 8. There may be some grace given for him to be able to "build his own squad".. now I don't necessarily agree with this given the quality of our roster, but other teams' fans go on about this as an excuse for medium-level non performance.

Well its still early days and our only real problem is our shoddy defence in the opening 20, at least we're putting points on the board. With Luck and Lillyman to return that should fix that.

I guess the most annoying thing with Bluey so far is the dodgy selections, but he won't be fired for that alone.

I don't think it's a hard and fast rule - ie if he loses x amount of games, he's gone. It'll depend on how he handles it all, selections, lack of killer instinct when it comes to dropping, etc.

But he has not made a good start. Maybe he wants to give players confidence early - that seems to me to be a McClennan trait. He'll give them full backing, know they have the talent and we might have to stomach losses while that happens. Whether I like that or not, mmm..

Handling is also a major issue for us.

Imo it would be completley unacceptable to miss the 8 with the players at his disposal. Espeially when he doesn't even pick the best ones. No excuses really......not that I think we will miss the 8 of course despite his terrible selections.

True, the dropsies with both Manly and the Doggies effectively cost us both games.
Strange that under Cleary dropped balls were pretty rare apart from the token Manu shockers.

This is precisely why it is so puzzling. Radio Sport have hit up HEAPS of people on it in the last day- they must be getting heaps of texts about it. Not one, players, journos...whoever, is saying what the story is if they do know. It is really strange.
Had it been one coach, you'd start thinking personality clash. There's just too many coaches that have a problem with him. I just want to ****ing know!!!!!!!!!!:lol:

What do you mean? That Ackerman character has come out a few times and said its because McClennan doesn't think he shows enough effort on the training pitch and because they reckon he doesn't take enough hit ups.
