Its very obvious now why The Tiny Toad punted Arthur and hired Pay and that other goose as co coaches. Never have anyone smarter than yourself working for you. Little wonder why every player went backwards last year.
Squad morale was undermined by Sticky's razor gang and we didn't have the leadership in the playing group to overcome it. But how do we know we would have gotten better results if he'd not tried to axe so many players at once?
Stuart has won a premiership and a minor premiership as coach, so I'm not buying into all the he-doesn't-know-how-to-motivate bullshit.
Every player is performing better this year than last so far. I guess thats because Stuart persisted with them last year.
Who's playing better?
Hayne, who was injured last year
Radradra, who was a rookie
Tonga, who was injured
Hopoate, who was riding his bike in Brisbane
Sio, who is no better than last year
Norman, who was out of position or in reserve grade
Sandow, who was struggling with personal issues
Mannah, who is no better than last year
Peats , who was out of position or in reserve grade
Moimoi, who is no better than last year
Edwards, who was in reserve grade
Ma'u, who was in reserve grade
Paulo (fair enough)
Terepo, who was a rookie
Gower, who played in a grand final
Allgood, who is no better than last year
Pauli, who was in under 20s
Paulo, who was a rookie
Give me a break. I guess if you want it so, anything can be justified. Im not buying into any of that and truth be known, not many are.
That's because most people are weak and ignorant, and they need scapegoats.
