First off, Clarky wasn't sacked by the Chairman. If he was do you really think he'd stay at the club as assistant. I believe Clarkly realised after the final that he'd done as much as he could with the team hence the stepping down.
While we have been getting some good results our performances have been getting worse (note: worse not better!!). Nixon is our top try scorer yet in the past 6 games he'll be lucky if he's had 6 passes. That's where Clarky came unstuck, once teams had sussed us out he had no ideas on how the change the way we played to get the ball out wide.
Deakin might not be the most exciting coach but hopefully can bring some fresh ideas to help us maintain a place in the play-offs.
Des is a larger than life character and folk outside of Barrow take his comments to literally. I'm sure the players let most of his comments go over their heads, just like most of the supporters do while at the same time admiring him for what he's trying to achieve at Barrow.
See you all in the Grand Final
