I find it interesting that the only team our club has won a competition in since 2010 was the Illawarra Cutters in 2016. All players from that side , including the coach, JD, has now gone from the club except for Kurt Mann and Jacob Host. McGregor is treating both of these poorly, and it looks like it will continue through this season.
Jealousy perhaps??
Last game of 2016 when JD was standing in for McGregor.
We wiped the floor with the ultimate premiers at Kogarah 32-18 playing a brand of football we have never seen from McGregor coached teams.
Remembering that Cronulla walloped us in the first round and we were long odds on to get flogged again.
JD was just doing what he was doing all year long with the Cutters. Playing a great brand of enterprising football that was great to watch.
That one single game showed McGregor up as an imposter.
Jealously, a little but more like self preservation with three seasons of "the team he wanted to have" sounding like a broken record.
It can certainly go a long way towards explaining the clean out.
My question is that JD came for
one season and proved himself in the most emphatic way.
Didn't anyone else at the club recognize that success?
Instead there has been an inane, unprecedented, indefensible and blind back room support for McGregor.
Unfortunately, we missed out on a good one in JD to our on going detriment.
