Hire a quality coach and let him decide on player recruitment (and backroom staff) simple really

Thats fair enough then, not sure how people know this though.
If true the club should have come out and said this at the time.
Maybe we should have done a Wigan and employed his Wife/GF/Dog as a highly piad cleaner at the club  |

If we could we should have matched that offer he was just the type pf player we have needed for years and has proved that he had what it takes to make a top SL player.'"
Thing is that Dobson has gone to a team on the up and has fitted in nicely with their game plan. Do people think that if Dobson came to us we would be second in the league. I don't. We need a couple of decent fowards, it's true a good S/H always looks better behind a good go foward pack. A quality S/H is not an instant fix to our problems. IMO. |

| Quote lurchio="lurchio"I think the pack competing thing is out of context, that was more about Johns.
I just think too many people are setting the requirement too high. You dont need a superstar, just someone better than Thorman. I dont think Orford is a good solution, too big a risk with his age - and you'd have to question motives to move away from Manly.
You need to get someone young and have patience. Succesful teams all have settled half backs who know the players around them, the lines they run etc.
And you could sign any of the worlds best half backs but if the players around them arent running the right lines, working off them, supporting, what good is it?'"
If there is a good young halfback available then it would make sense to go after them, Soward, Carney etc. However the problem is when they are good and young they have dreams of playing Rep footy which often deters them from moving over to SL and they are also still gorwing up which is another factor in them staying put. So we are really going to end up looking at players around 25 and upwards. There are plenty of good ones but some won't want to leave and some won't be available. If we got for 2/3 years then I would be happy with that. 2/3 years is a long time in SL and he could maybe influence a youngster at the club enough for him to take over when he leaves. |

With Dobson in our side we would have won a couple more games IMO, which would put us joint top.
Our pack is doing OK, our weakness this year has been in the backs and halfbacks, our backs have imporved the last couple of weeks with Horne and Whiting at FB and Centre. |

I agree the pack is doing ok, however its still early in the season. After a season of defending our line and running into brick walls thats when things start going a bit,"Pete Tong." |

Aye, Whiting has done pretty well at right centre and hope he continues there until we sign a quality centre. |

Silly is subjective though isn't it. At the moment it looks like money well spent for them |

Suppose some silverware and a rise in the gates would suggest it is well spent. So far they have gained neither. |
