If he's as good as you think he is then there will be interest from other clubs than just his own. That will push his price up.
All depends on other clubs situation doesn't it. Lets say Roosters, may not need him and have salary cap probs for example. Or any number of similar issues for other clubs or Manly in their own strife.
We on the other hand seem to want to let our experienced halves go for what nobody, if you can believe what is being said?
All I am saying is this coach has lost my confidence and he will have to really improve his recruitment and be able to evolve his playing style if he wants to regain confidence in many supporters and I suspect players as well.
I don't mean just missing out on the 8 next year and putting in yo yo performances throughout next year. I mean quality right through the year, with the occasional loss. You know like a quality team performs and ends up in the top 4 minimum. Getting rid of our halves will not deliver that guaranteed.
As much as I like BA as a person and he is Para through and through, his coaching hasn't evolved to the game that is being played by the better teams. Like I said, we could do a lot worse then Brad Fitler and the clout and image that he will bring in recruiting players that look up to him. He was asked on the footy show the other week if he would be interested in club coaching and he said he would be. I would offer him a 2 year contract and see what he would bring. Can't be any worse then what we have right now.
At least with him we may be able to attract better sponsors and who knows some greatly needed TPA's. But hey, all you haters and settlers out there go ahead, tell me how bad and stupid my suggestions are again. Go Ahead, go ahead...you know you want to.
