Hang on , didnt these guys have their own TV show ??? And weren't their names Larry, Curly and Moe !!!
Please do not malign the good name of the three stooges! They were experts at what they did, and brought joy and laughter to millions. Our coaching three on the other hand are not experts, have brought no joy, and the only laughter has gone to fans of other clubs.

Wonder who the new coach will make this week
Also do you think Ryles will come straight away or we have to wait until next year?
I read a couple of weeks ago that the Roosters dont like hanging on to staff that have broken a contract, so it could be an immediate change, I think there will be dollars attached but it might be a funny look when we play the roosters this Friday.

Just sitting here thinking another futile season slips past....its only round 12 and zero to look forward to by most of us for the rest of the season.....here we are on a Monday talking about how many points we will be getting beaten by come the weekend......it's hard to accept how far this once mighty club has fallen isnt it.

What interests me is that if Griffin is sacked tomorrow:

1. When?
2. Has he been 'told' already? if not then surely, he must know in himself.
3. Who prepares the team list for Friday night?
4. or, has it already been decided and by whom?
5. Will Hunt be listed at hooker?
6. If Griifin has prepared the team list already does Bud's name appear?
7. Will Hunt actually 'perform' or put on a sulk performance?
8. Will the interim coach have full reign to chose the team himself, adjust the team himself or is he just a means to and end and we see the same old same old?
9. When will the new HC be announced? Will that be rubber stamped in the GM tomorrow also?

There's a sudden atmosphere of excitement mixed with apprehension building. Griffin has proven to be a train-wreck, particularly this year. His treatment of Sullivan was akin to dereliction of duty and an act of pure vengefulness.

For us to totally turn around we also have to make the tough calls, in particular Ben Hunt. No doubt he has been our, let's say best player, and we've won games simply on the back of his plays, however, the interference and egotistical manner he exhibits off the field (and sometimes on it as well) is rotting away at our future foundations. Yes, he wants to be the star, the main man etc, but doing so at the expense of others is not leadership, and definitely not a quality we need in our squad.

I see a lot of comments about Hunt preferring to play with Amone, and why not, Amone is passive and will not outshine Ben. But, in truth does Amone like playing with Hunt? This seems to be a missed question asked. Amone and Bud have played just about their entire juniors with each other, each having particular skills that interweave with their style of play. This has yet to be explored in full, however, we saw glimpses of that combination last year. Why has it been suppressed? There's just one answer, and I think we all know that answer.

So yes, farewell (hopefully) Griffin, and although I dislike someone losing their job, especially at his age, he has brought this entirely on himself. He cannot look to blame anyone else, it sits firmly on his shoulders as the designated HC.

I look forward to tomorrow.

One can only hope BSE with the changes that are about to happen life will be for the better, but it can only happen with the right people in charge, anything else and we will still be in a mess 5 years from now
