I imagine that there are many clubs who could form a big pack and flog them during the off-season bringing them to peak fitness for round 1 and then again flog them every game running one out up the middle,climbing to the top of the ladder and finally losing most games because of fatigue and injuries.
Mary has done this for the past few years and never learned from the experience. He is about to do it again in 2019.
Aside from the above, Mary's over all performance; selections, bench management, game plans and bringing through our talented juniors is poor.
I say to the media/press, interview Johnston our new CEO and ask the inconvenient questions. Don't let go, keep on searching and ask the inconvenient questions. Dig deep and expose the 'old boys club', the corruption and the nepotism running rife with SGI management.
Agree 100%
The interview bar is always set very low for Waterboy, who is really only the stooge of the Old Boys’ Club - and easily replaceable by Deano mid season, which seems to be how coaching transitions happen with the faceless ones these days - seamless & under-the-radar nepotism.
Favourites & friends in high places syndrome.
No accountability, no logic, no progressive patterns, no media scrutiny.
Just underhand backroom sticktight greased palm backslapping fu*k the fans boyo stuff.
And Aitken (Lovechild#2):
‘a damn fine player’ , ‘a difference maker ‘ (NRL.com ) WTF certainly has friends in high places - what with the NRL.com match review of March 12 - where, incredibly, under the heading of “And Another Thing” (FFS) his critics were invited to take a ‘chill pill’.
Have never seen such a pointed media directive like that before.
No wonder the backline teamsheet is in duplicate again.
And at some point in time the Latkens will no doubt again be the beneficiaries of being sent through holes via the skill of Hunt, Norman & Widdop - and be made to look better than the bog average they are.
No one would pay to watch their dreary predictability.
Nothing learned in the coaching box from the semis.
Yes Possm,
nothing learned - & the selections are almost designed to confound & irritate the long suffering fans
Like mentor like protege, ‘Bog Ordinary’ is even too kind an epithet for Waterboy
- who would be desperate for the Latkens to be gifted doubles vs the Cows
