I really don't like how he continues to take pot shots at former coaches and players. Saying that we gave up last year and that we basically played soft footy under Sheens. Ok so it might be true Jason, but you are sitting DEAD LAST so quit with the chest beating and blame game. Those coaches had us in and around the 8 plenty of times with injuries a big factor. They never ran last.
He says we don't give pup this year and i hope he is right. I hoe his words don't come back to bite him with games against the Chooks, Broncos, Warriors etc to come? Does he care that we had 2 back rowers playing on the wing last year or its just easy to say we gave up? it a bit childish really. Whilst we have been a failure as a club in general we did make the top 4, 3 times under Sheens and won a comp. So even though i was not his biggest fan after his first 4-5 years he deserves a hell of a lot more respect from a bloke running last in his first season.
Its funny how it has taken until now to describe the salary cap situation as "horrendous" I just think its convenient. I know its bad and i don't doubt they have been left a mess of sorts. However The first 2 months we are in the top 8 and now we are running last first GO and now Taylor are basically throwing their hands up saying they need 3 years before we can make any progress. and saying don't blame us for the mess we are in.
I got no doubts that they were left with some sort of mess like I said. However strong leadership to me would be less blame shifting and more worried about how they can improve things in the short term. Asking for 3-5 years or what ever of running last, fans are not that silly to fall into line with that.
As for all the mumbo, jumbo about his tactics and philosophy. Well lets wait and see but the early verdict is not good. The side is last and has had its best run of injuries in a decade. Sure it is not a great roster by any means, probably a bottom 4 roster although we have some good players.
I think what would win some respect from the fans from these people (Go and Taylor) is to say WE have to take ownership and do a better job ourselves. We are not doing good enough. We have to improve as coaches and board members. Stop shifting blame and throwing your hands up and taking pot shots at ex coaches and ex boards and ex players. Thats easy and to me the fans see straight through it all.
