The idea that he was recruited to address a leadership deficiency is speculative if not fanciful. His alleged on field leadership is a moot point if he can't get on the field.
I suspect that the favourable fitness reports are after the fact and an attempt to justify Daisy's recruitment and over payment. I'm more inclined to accept that Phil Baressi resigned because his advice was ignored.
Firstly, it was on field issues we wanted addressed, so the off-filed stuff is secondary if not irrelevant. Even then off-field as a trainer Daisy reportedly sets a significant example!
The reports about Daisy's chances of a full recovery were around before the deal was done, they are not retrospective like the Baressi resignation claim. Oddly the bloke many posters decry as being partly to blame is better suited than most to assess all the medical information, McKay.
