Quote: The optimist "Vievers being the head coach i would hope he would be taking a overview of the whole operation, Long is the attacking coach its clear to see but in my opinion our defence is at best poor so in my opinion i do feel we need a specialst defensive coach to make us a stronger unit to beat.

Our defence is poor, but that doesn't mean you go out and employ a defensive coach. Why not replace the common denominator. Afterall if a coach is evidently failing in his defensive tactics he must go. Defence is most important in a coaches handbook. Papering over the cracks employing a defensive coach simply isn't the answer because your coach is inept in defence.
I originally wanted to serve judgement until end of the season but i can't see any improvements made by PV as of yet. The team is in free fall leaking in soft tries which we've been used to over the years and the attack looks stagnated, whether this is down to the players confidence or change of tactics PV is responsible for both. Longy has proved his worth we didn't see the flowing rugby when PV replaced McRae which proves Long's influence in attack. I feel PV was installed through player power and to steady the ship from the Parish debacle but yet again another appointment from this regime looks set to join the other 14 misjudged appointments.
