But the f**king club picked him, they re-signed him and gave him a top 30 spot. They’ve had 3 off seasons to see what Hands is capable of.

He’s been picked ahead of Rein but he is the one who missed out on a top 30 spot. That’s not no choice that’s just poor on the clubs part. But you keep defending no matter what I love how you and others twist and turn yourselves into pretzels just so you can defend the indefensible it’s very exciting!!

You are the one twisting yourself all
over the place to justify the mistakes of the club.

Did we have a choice?? Lol!! We have Rein in the top 30 another inspired decision. Surely we had doubts he’d offer anything at all this year?? We’ve had Hands in our system for what over two years now and nobody could see he looks a more than serviceable 14 option?? But yeah poor us we had no choice lol.
It just means it’s good that Hands finally had a good enough preseason that he earned a spot in the team.

Hands had how many off seasons to show what he’s capable of? Penrith let him go for Mitch Kenny ffs. Don’t pretend he’s always been a gun. He is not in the 500 highest paid players in the game.

He was often pretty average in reserves but fortunately he has shown his quality in firsts which is great for us.
Especially if Hodgson does not work out.

Not many coaches get there 1st GF preparation right. Its a tricky week to get right.

You can go away from what gets you there in the first place and things go pear shape.

Players like routine.

You can overbear the players by putting too much pressure on them.

There is no exact science.

Brian Smith clearly never handled it and he had 4 cracks. While Bennett has mastered it by keeping it simple.

Hasler, Bellamy, Cleary all multiple premiership winning coaches lost there 1st GF.

Not going together as a team on a bus to a GF was clearly a bad call.
It was in hindsight, but if we had jagged a win, the same decision would be paraded as a masterstroke.
