You have got to wonder how tense that household is now. No escape from it, and GordonTallis has a talent for airing his opinion at the detriment of others. I wonder how Mrs Cleary is coping with the situation now compared to how it was this time last year.
They are only a win away from turning things around, but there must be lots of soul searching going on, from all of them.

I think the game was too tight to put Liddle in too early. Liddle’s development is not more important than putting your best players on the field to win the game. The players worked their butts off to get into a winning position against more fancied opposition. Not the game to blood Liddle extra time for his benefit - when to date he has done very liittle in FG to throw him into a position like that early. We have been patient with him, he now needs to be patient knowing that his opportunity is coming.

Morgan 's kick to ONeill for the try on halftime for the Cow’s - brilliant.

I think it was a great win. We were never going to maintain what happened in the first twenty minutes. We capitalized on nearly all of our opportunities early, and held them to one try once they got into the game. Cant do much better than that.

If Mybe plays with that level of urgency and commitment every week then the critics will lay off him. He was in the game from the get go and played great. That doesn’t excuse some of his previous poor performances, but it does show what he is capable, of so we are entitled to expect more of the same.

The Clearys became self absorbed in the media circus that surrounded them last year in regard to the father/son coaching obsession. It became all a bit over the top from the outside looking in, and in reality now - both are looking busted.
No sympathy what so ever.

Some good performances recently. Clearly the coach has already had a positive effect on him - dropping Packer sent a clear message

If it became all about promoting them in their new location, where ever that may be, at the expense of where they originated from, my connection with the club would dwindle very quickly. You lose interest in your old fans they will lose interest in you.
Sydney Swans are a good example - its all about Sydney now.

Recruitment and retention - same old problem. Terrible recruitment under Cleary - came to the club after a disastrous period with a healthy cheque book
We became the retirement fund club and there are days when it shows…

Speed wouldnt that be a nice change - Id take any or all.
