They have never looked back. Bomber nearly got the sacked after 2006. We found after that what a good coach he was. Sometimes you're at the mercy of your players.
I think if we were really honest we'd have to admit that it is only individual acts from class players that keep us in contests... we do not do it as a team. Gibbo kicks a couple of freak goals, creates something out of nothing... ditto Martin... that kind of thing keeps us in the contest. Saad dashes off half back, give us individual spark... Walsh does the supreme sacrificial and relentless stuff - keeps us in the game... and so on.
Too much left to too few too fckn often.
Glad the newbies dished out home truths to the group.
No player should get a gig on reputation. Regardless of who you are, if you aint producing... out you go, thinking of Casboult as I write that. How has he deserved a gig so far this year? But our selection committee is embarrassingly conservative... ruthlessness includes selection, coaching and on-field efforts. The President and CEO should be reading the coaching group the riot act. We just might have the worst coaching group in the caper at present... bereft of strong and uncompromising leadership, seriously bereft.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
