Funny stuff. I've read so many people on this form criticise Mann. He scores two tries. The coming of the messiah. He is good. He always was good. It's a very astute signing. Now we just need a quick winger.
We haven't seen the best of Dugan at fullback mainly because our coaching staff has not developed attacking plays which put him in the clear or at least one on one with the opposition.
I think Mann will fill the left centre position well, Matta 'Utia will be our winger on the left, and so all we will need is for our coaching staff to develop some good attacking plans early in off season. If this can be done, our backline should compete in 2016. If our coaching staff is truely incapable of developing attacking plans to suit the skill-set of key players, then bite the bullet and replace them or bring in outside help.
For goodness sake. please don't put us fans through another year of torture!!!
Essentially the same coaching staff has failed to come up with a decent attacking game plan for the last 2 years. Nothing will change 2016. And there's no chance of getting anyone new in - we made the 8, I'm waiting for a contract extension for the lot of them...
Me either but I am sick of the sight of it.
Hate to sound like Objective View, however whilst ever we adopt low standards and minimise expectations we will be middle rung.
For a brief time under Bennett, we had player discipline and coaching/player standards of a premiership contender/winner.
The aspiration must be to win the premiership not scrape in to the 8.
We need a top line administration before we will attract top line coaches and players.
If we are to limp along and aspire to mediocre standards, I would prefer to dissolve the JV and watch St.George play in a second tier competition.
At least I would not have to cringe watching them run out in an all red strip and imitate the Illawarra sides of old.
it wouldn't be so bad if they wore their white shorts and hooped socks but red shorts and socks suck!That Red Uniform is a disgrace to the RED V and we should never wear it again.
