I said at the time that we signed him that he isn't the answer. I stand by that.


How do you know but? He could turn out to be a great coach. There are some good signs. The biggest is giving juniors a crack. I don't think any of them are completely ready bar probably Ionghi but Tuivati,Kautoga and R.Smith all could of done time in NSW cup. I like what he's doing. Guymers also only had 2 games prior to this year. Samrani was another young guy thrown in.

Whilst some didn't like RCG and Guth going I think it was the right call. We landed D.Walker with some of the money and would have probably 800k min left over.

He also has dropped guys who played poorly to cup. Hooked guys mid game who where playing average - Kelma,Joe O and Hands would know.

His next big test is going to be who he chases to recruit and who he promotes inside the club and of course results.

I think he has done great so far..

Yes he could have kept Gutho and Reg and hoped to scrap into the 8 next year and then extend Gutho and continue on the same path with aging players Signed Brown on overs for the next 10 years...

But he made tough calls is developing the club's players how he wants them.

Look at how Barlow just played on the weekend we all thought he was done and was coasting along for the past 2 seasons.

Last weekend was a real positive but we are still sitting at the bottom of the ladder. I'm sure we'll improve a lot when we get Moses back.
