If you think recruitment is the knights biggest problem you are pleasantly naive.
ithink hagan has had enough resources pervious to 2005 to have done a better job than he has....Alex28 said:Hagan is trying to do himself what 4 or 5 people do at other clubs - like i said, give him the right resources and then see how he goes.

Having extra trainers isn't going to help guys like Perry. Perry's been groomed for a while now by some former foward greats, and the guys played 99 first grade games. The knights already have 3 first grade trainers, one head trainer, I don't see how throwing some more out there is going to help anyone?
Shocking conditions and pressure? This is professional sport. You perform or get out. This is why we lag behind, because our attitude is to willy nilly. We make excuses, we aren't ruthless towards our team, and we cling to the hope that one day in the future we'll unearth 10 Andrew John's.
Its not going to happen, our Junior program is going to be cannibalised by Sydney clubs (or already is) unless we start to get our act together. We can't sit here and pretend this is a sunday U/14 match down at the local oval. This is the big leagues, people need to be held accountable for bad performances. Warren Ryan had the same resources, but he still managed to build a formidable team in a short time. Same with O'Reilly. I don't get why we make an exception for Hagan that he doesn't have to answer to his performances.
Bleh.

Fairleigh played for one year in 2000. Most Knights fans think that was our best side ever - mostly because Fairleigh and Shiels were better than the guys who replaced them for 2001.GoTheBears said:Was David Fairleigh in the side that actually won the comp or was he in the side when Warren Ryan was coach?
