The rebuilding phase

[King-Gutho94]

Ricky Stuart.....

While Fitz, Payto and Webby have both recently coached sides to top 4 finishes, with the first 2 currently in the top 8.....

So recently history, indicates coaches can be successful without coaching reserves...

That wasn't the question:

Has a first time head coach ever won a premiership if they have never coached overseas or reserve grade (or equivalent) in the NRL era?

Not saying it was you, but there were plenty on other socials that declared Blaize was a slow disappointment because he didn't catch Bradman Best twice after giving him 10 or 15m head start. Pretty harsh.

Facts: Blaize was very close to Best, who is not a speedster, when he picked up the ball.
Best pulled away from him. Russell came from the other side of the field and got closer
Blaize was exposed. He may have some skills but speed is not one of them.
If his manager plays hard ball then we should not throw bucket loads of cash at him.

Hayne in his prime would have caught him before he got to the halfway line. The lack of any speed in our squad is alarming. We have been continually burned on the edges all season yet June 30 has passed and MON has again done NOTHING.

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted someone ousted more from our club more than him. Maybe Kearney.

All these kids like Moretti, Guymer, Boods, Blaize should be playing the remainder of the year pump 8 games into them and gain some more experience.

Tago looked fine reckon he would be better depth then Morgan Harper next year. With our outside backs a shambles atm giving Tago 9 games now and see where he is at the end of the year.

Anymore we could give a run too before end of the year just do it.
