Aren't most of Ricky's dirty dozen still with the club though?
Ben Roberts (crap 4 of every 5 games), matua (on a massive downward slide in playing form), matt meating (didnt seem to kick on after showing early promise) and cheese Blair (a large uncoordinated clump of a person and generally shit player) would have been kicked on regardless.
But didn't we end up keeping tonga (is in very good form now but said previous coaches wanted him to play plump - is Ricky the witch from Hansel and gretel?) and kelly (who is a backup at best), Ben smith (on his much declining last legs I think), plus a few others on Ricky's overhead projector slide?
Credit where it's due, ricky got us peats and Norman, but not sure how exactly he rebuilt us.
