What I said is support the club, I think they know what they are doing. Things don't change just because we want it to change. All the years I have supported this club, they have given supporters a very good team to be proud of. Yes at the present time we are not going that well but you can bet it won't last. As I have said before it is not in the clubs DNA to be near the bottom of the table.
Sure it is people's prerogative to question what the club is doing to rectify problems with the way the team is going, but you can see what the club is doing to improve our team.
Can we win most of our games in 2013, I don't know but I am feeling confident that the signings we have done, with more to come, we will have a terrific side next year.
So don't keep on harping about the coach, it is still bloody boring.
I criticise a Club that rests on its laurels and does little to resolve a bad situation on the score-board, so as to speak.
Luckily, that's not us.
I accept the Club is doing all it can. As a tragic supporter I am pleased that the St.George Illawarra Dragons have been the most active they have ever been in the player market for example, and given our rich history, for (umm) "organic growth" that is a very big thing and not to be undervalued. It's good also that our Club is progressive in its efforts to communicate with supporter forums, community involvement and the like, and their Website which is excellent. (although, I do hate the BS spin that sometimes comes from the Club for which we are developing a reputation for).
I do however question dumb decisions; or, to take the personal / emotive inference out of it, I question decisions that have already proven unsuccessful.
And I seriously criticise not learning from mistakes.
Honestly, I do not believe in Steve Price's abilities to be successful as a first grade coach in the NRL. In short, I don't think he has a strong footy brain; don't think he's a game tactician; don't think he maximises the potential of players or is a strong motivator of men and is afraid to take risks. Nor is he a strong leader. He's a softie.
And that's maybe where you and I differ Karuah because if you accept that he is not a good solution as head Coach of our great football team then one may reasonably question the decision making of those who who appointed him.
I can accept his apppointment however IF there was no other suitable candidate at the time, but I cannot accept the decision to (re)ppoint Steve Price based on merit. I think we've seen enough.
I understand the cattle issue, but I still expect to see a man who has been so very directly involved with the team for quite a few years now and who occupies arguably the single most important role in the Club to somehow / somewhere add value to the team - in some facet of their game.
To date he has not.
We'll jag a few more wins more out of the individual motivation of some (key) players, and team spirit, and less because of game planning, tactics, leadership and discipline.
