@ said:The only problem i have with Cleary is hes such a great coach yet we where the only ones not playing a hooker at hooker and now he tries on the weekend but we've lost all momentum now its a bit to late….we look out of sorts and down on confidence not the works of a great coach...we need to try and win every week and i dont feel he does that sometimes...I feel he treats some weeks as a training run....If he was serious about winning he would choose better and put hookers in even he doesnt like them there better then Taylor....
In this whole thread this is about the only criticism of Ivan Cleary that i think is fair.
He messed up the hooking role, his decisions havent been good enough when it comes to the 9\. That said i think its purely because he put too much faith in Jacob Liddle coming good.
As he has with Lolohea, Aloiai, Marsters etc etc.
Its his one true fault, he is too nice to his squad.
Needs a harder edge.
