In regard to Cleary, I'm still split and believe he should be allowed 2010 to prove himself, but I am veering toward the 'go' camp now.
Was thinking at work this morning, back over the last few years. Leading up to the bye, when was the last time you felt a bit disappointed, that we weren't going to have a Warriors game to watch the next week...and how many of the last few years have we thought, "thank god the byes here!"
I remember thinking that for pretty much all of Cleary's reign, even the '08 year which we finished strong in-Ther was still that slump in the middle where we weren't just losing games, but they were godawful to watch as well. The last few years have had terrible slumps which we finally start to come right out of (except '09 where we stayed in it), and in hindsight it's hard to say whether it's through being coached out of the slump or just sheer law of averages where a few decent games have to come your way at some stage!
I'm just feeling more and more Cleary's probably a good bloke, and probably a decent enough coach in his own right, but just maybe not suited for us.
