If Mick had us thereabouts then it would be a fair argument to mount. If you want a comparison, look at where a coach has been failing dismally and been replaced.
Brisbane have stalled spectacular both during and post Voss and have been haemoraging talent ever since. Elliot Yeo, Sam Docherty to name a few, and even a relatively new acquisition like Aish is about to walk out the door.
Isn't Leppitsch one of those coaches that supposed to be young hip and up to it?

Saw an interview with Leppa today and he sounded just like a certain Mick Maltouse; bewildered, perplexed, exasperated etc. You could easily come to the conclusion that "he has lost the players".

The fish rots at the head cookie.
The club keeps using buzzwords like loyalty, us, United, believe, but stumble ever so slightly and they are ready to replace you as quickly as possible.
Despite what we think of Malthouse and where we were at or where we have been, the knives have been out from the start and it's got to do with how we cut Ratten short, and what process was followed to bring him in.
We talk a good game, but currently I see no reason why anyone should take any of the United crap seriously until we start showing we are serious about evolving.
No quick fixes at the latest AGM according to mozzie but, sure enough we will take that route as soon as it presents itself.

Agree. Much of our problem is at the "head" and that can certainly have a major impact at all other levels. The "head" is after all where the culture is set and maintained.

Drop Jones, Watson in as he's shown he better forward than back Casboult back as 2nd ruck and move Jaksch moved forward if Jammo rerturns. Menzel back in the team and Walker forward. Then the key is to get numbers more forward so we can run the ball quickly in the forward line so these blokes have space to run into. That'll give these blokes some confidence. Play last week's rotten game plan, with a million blokes behind the ball, and those poor younger blokes forward will be totally lost, as Hendo was last week, as they'll be no run hence no speed of ball movement going forward.

Change is a good thing when your side is going backwards. It's not a good thing when your side is improving see Ratten, Voss and Mckenna.
Ignorance is bliss.

Sorry, but arguing about Jones v Watson v Casboult (as forwards) is like arguing over whether we want 3.93 out of 10, or 3.99 out of ten or 3.88 out of ten. It's like having very little x 3. Jaksch looks more like a tall forward prospect than the 3 of them!

No 2nd. Thought you'd know that.
