After watching a few of the RLWC and then looking back on our last 2 years, it is not a long bow to draw the conclusion that we really wasted the past couple of years.
Players failed to respond to the she'll be right attitude of the coach, and the consequent fall off in fitness and physique. On reflection apart from a couple of gams at the end of 2007 , and the game against the Roosters pre-season in 2008, we were woeful.
It just goes to show that coaching and talent identification requires real dedication, and appointing someone who did not have the passion for the club, and didn't want to live in the district comes back to bite you in the rear end.
I find it hard to acknowledge what the Knights supporters were saying was spot on, relating to the coach, but the performance of Hayne and even Inu, shows what needed to be done. I hope next year brings pressure to bear on the NRL squad, because they have let the club down big time, and the failure to promote from Wenty underlines how soft management was. In trying to be "nice" to local juniors and current players, our recruitment in the past couple of seasons has hurt, and perhaps our best player left for Yawnion to move from the Hagan regime.
The reason for posting this is that the new appointment has so much to do, and I am hoping that they bring the necessary passion required , because watching clubs like Manly and Sharks leave us behind is more than annoying, its the fact that they can talk down to us, oh well enough, let's look forward to 2009.
