Quote: anarkik "So you're only measure of success is winning the title then? What an odd world view, where success is only measured by the pinnacle of achievement and everything else makes you 'pants'. I presume you're a let down to yourself then most of the time.'"
Certainley not.
However, I don't see something that is rather expected as a success either. With the players Taylor had at his disposal in 2007 it was an expectation that SS reach the playoffs and would have been deemed a failure had Souths not reach the top 8, which they did, by the skin of their teeth. However, the two following years they failed miserabley to reach the top 8 and Taylor was subsequently sacked with Souths using the reason of Taylor having a drink and getting beaten up as a lever to send him on his way.
Now if you think that's a good rep and previously succesful then that's your call, I just hope the level of Peter Hoods ambition is higher that your own..
