Quote: Shirl "There's an old saying "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" - some of these players he should have done better with are never going to be good enough regardless of who coaches them. There comes a time when players have to put their hands up and take the blame. As has always been the case, we perform badly the coach gets the criticism, we play well and the players get the accolades. We'll see what happens next year but I expect it to be a hell of a lot different to the past 2 years. If it's not then I will join the queue baying for Agar's blood.'"
Nathan Brown has at his disposal, a squad which is worse than ours.
So has John Kear.
So has Brian McDermott.
So has Terry Matterson.
All have made 'a silk purse out of a sow's ear' !!
