Who's to Blame

Great article, don't know if this bloke has enough media cred to be taken seriously by the mainstream but the statistics on post contact metres really hits home. He could also have mentioned the stagnation of development of young players coming through by playing kafusi, Latimore, maranta, etc and persevering with non performing players.
Seems a bit of a mad unit, but is spot on.

The bloke who resigned Mary is to blame.

It's a vicious cycle, but its started by the coach. His miserable game plans and lack of strategic nous ensure the players turn off, the fans see unmotivated players so they turn off, the sponsors see the drop-off of fans so they turn off.

Only way to break the cycle is to get rid of the coach. Souths did that with McGuire. Manly did that with Barrett. We need to do that with Mary.
Also Souths pissed off George Piggins and their old boys and look at them now. We're like they used to be in the eighties and nineties .

Anyone from Illawarra led by Mary McIdiot.
We shouldn’t limit it to just those from Illawarra, but those who either buy into the Illawarra mindset or potentially even those who have ever had a positive thought about the region.

Guys, let me simplify it.
The coach signs, picks and re picks the players.
The coach, sets the style of play
The coach sets the game plan
The coach sets discipline, standards etc
The Coach reviews performance and either drops or picks.
The Coach develops and nurtures talent

The Board appoints the coach!!!

Yes, but who appointed the board?
