You mean these ones who were in the post I replied to?
- Ravalawa was our top tryscorer this year. Pretty hard to label the bloke who got across the try line more than any other player in our side a “dud”. Good signing by Millward.
- Pearson was a dud, but he’s also been released so that’s saying something too.
- Luke is a NZ international with a premiership ring (pretty sure there may be a World Cup on his CV too) who has come to us very cheap as backup. Pretty harsh to call him a dud when he hasn’t even played a game for us - not to mention only last year he tore us to shreds and stopped our unbeaten run at the start of the season. Another good signing.
- Williame - again not sure how he can be a “dud” for us when he hasn’t even played a game. He’s an unknown at this point.
I’ll give you a couple of dud signings - Maranta and Latimore.
Which means if we look at Millward’s efforts:
Good ‘uns:
- Hunt
- Vaughan
- Norman
- Graham
- Sims
- Ravalawa
- Lomax
- Luke
Unknowns:
- Williame
Marys:
- Pearson
- Latimore
- Maranta
Millward hasn’t failed.
Usually we butt heads, however on this occasion I am with you 100%.
A bad tradesman always blames his tools.
Millward’s recruitment is far superior to Mary’s coaching and team selection.
Excellent coaches make ordinary players look like quality first graders.
Mary does not have such an ability.
Millward for President!!
