Is it just me or does anyone else think our club didn't leak the "information" and that the rumour helps take some spotlight off the travesty that is Canberra at the moment? At least our board has seemed a tad quieter for the past couple of weeks.
Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. If we keep turning over coaches and rolling forward the same squad, regardless of what coach you bring in, it won't improve the situation. On previous pages, people spoke of accountability and someone cried that he'd never seen Stuart declare himself accountable. Well the first thing players, coaches, administrators have to do is be openly accountable to themselves. I honestly believe now that the old admin realised this and brought in Stuart to fix their recruitment & Kearney mistakes. They paid for this despite the realisation and rightly so... as long as the new admin have learnt from the errors of the past. If Stuart stays next year, we need to see if he has taken on more of that accountability. He's culled the squad, brought in outsiders to help (I'd have liked to see what Hock would have brought to the squad in terms of accountability at least in playing) and now he has to instil that same sense of accountability down to the players. From that I expect to see a remarkable improvement in their attitude to workrate and defense particularly. If Stuart goes, you can almost throw out enforced player accountability for the next 2 years and the players are yet to prove they can take the initiative to grasp it for themselves.
Then again if Stuart stays and doesn't hold himself accountable or has his mind in Canberra then we're equally f**ked. Actually moreso because it'd be another season before we realised it
