I am with you Minh.....job is his until round 26 at least. I don't want Mary sacked unless someone with outstanding credentials is employed to replace him. Someone like Tony Smith, for instance.
And to the blimpheads who have been giving it to Minh for voicing his opinion.....I daresay his opinion, that Mary sees out this year at least, has a much better chance of being how it is than yours does.
Well guys, you are entitled to your view, for sure.
Tell me this though, what do you suggest if we keep Mary and we end up say....13th.
Or lets say in vicinity of 12th - 14th.
Come September, Mary is still in the job... because you guys believe he should be till round 26.
Suddenly, season 2017 is then just months away.....Plans regarding what players to keep, on what contracts, for what dollars.... AND what potential new players to approach for 2017 would all be done by Mary, and the current coaching team.
I do not trust Mary or the current coaching team to make good decisions on any of the above!
Based on your beliefs, Mary staying till the end of the year, regardless whether we finish 16th, 15th, 14th...whatever.... will ensure 2017 is also unsuccessful ....and most likely impact heavily on 2018.
Really, are you willing to risk that outcome?
I believe a final decision has to be made by the mid July, though I prefer he goes now.
For Mary to stay till round 26, we must be in the Top 8 mid July, not 2 - 8 points behind 8th, but inside the top 8 ...by at least 2 wins.
If we are, fair enough for Mary to stay.
If we are not, by mid July, Mary has to go.... so the new coach can plan for 2017 from July onwards.
My belief is Mary has had almost 2 years now....This is his team, last year we could not score points, and this year we cannot score points, and our Defence is getting worse.
Less scoring points, less tries, longest losing streak in our history, most halves with no tries in our history, least line breaks, least try assists, what more do you want to see before he goes?
The surest and most accurate prediction of future success.... is history, unless something dramatically changes ....history tends to repeat itself!
Our team scores less points, plays boring footy, our coach talks with no passion or ownership or results, he makes comments that seem to suggest he thinks we are going ok, our coach talks with no vision for the future...and constantly selects players in positions even us amateurs say 'What the hell'!?
No player will want to come near us, crowds will drop to under 9,000....8,000....
I prefer he goes now, its too high risk for him to stay.
He has had almost 2 years.....and we have hardly progressed.
