We need a coach like Maguire. For all the issues he had with his players at the end of his tenure, he built a premiership winning culture; best example clearly being Luke. A bit more ruthless, isn't going to have some emotional attachment to the players who went through the last few years. Time for excuses is over and Brown needs to be cutthroat in getting results and expecting a certain level of effort and performance.
These past few weeks, where a finals spot was still a possibility, certain players like King, Sio, Denniss etc all needed to prove to Brown that they're first grade standard and they've failed to do so. I don't care if they're being replaced by players of equal or lesser value, I would rather see the opportunity go to someone else. If Brown doesn't have it in him to be so critical and harsh? Then he simply isn't the man going forward. He's done a fantastic job to get us this far, that cannot be understated or discredited because we were f**king shambolic beyond belief. But if this is the best we can get from him? Then its a good thing that we've signed him to a performance based contract.
