Mick's gone and that must change the equation. I'm interested in what folks think will be a good result for 2015 from here on in.
I'm thinking game time for the younger brigade, reduce the floggings and back to basics footy (tackles, pressure).
I doubt we'll win too many games.

Focus has to be on developing the younger talent and playing everyone else in their best roles afap, e.g. Hendo at CHB. I think either Trigg or The Judge stressed that yesterday.
Reality always wins in the end.

For me a good result would be winning around 40-50% of games (injury permitting) but I would be happy to pick the odd win up and stop the blowouts whilst playing the kids ie no more Ellard, Armfield, Rowe.
Ignorance is bliss.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Focusing solely on wins / losses, I would like wins against the bottom 4 teams (we are of course part of this group), a couple of wins against teams 9-14, hard fought honorable losses against teams 4-8, and hopefully being somewhere out of radio/tv/internet reach when we play teams 1-4. Pie in the sky stuff I know. Keeping standards high is a daily challenge.

Promote some rookies, play the kids and experiment with players in different roles/positions...saves the new coach from having to muck around trying the same stuff when he starts..
I'd expect more beltings 2-4 wins for the season maybe....
End of season I'd sack Webster, dissolve the NB's partnership and get a standalone VFL team going with a new coach who can develop players rather than
hinder their growth...

Let the talent shine through.
Lets see who can play, remove the restrictions and let these young men enjoy playing football again. Regain their freedom and their confidence. We will take some beatings, but we are already.

We are not tanking, but we've just made Barker coach.
That tells you something!
The Weitering Cup anyone?
