Horne,(how he got a two year contract is beyond me,1 year as cover perhaps)Lauaki,dowes,sharp,radford,long,fitzy,washbrook,all players listed here can do 'a job' but if we are looking to compete with the top 4 then we need a good clearout.
agar isnt up to it so that doesnt help matters and then you have the board who have just creamed the profits for the last few years without proper investment in building the team/getting a go forward coach.....still at least we are making money was their motto,hope adam pearson works better with james rule and we start to see improvement next season with the players we have got

Anybody who thinks Horne will be here acting as cover is kidding themselves.

indeed, he'll be first choice, and week in, week out, he'll keep trying the drop off ball on the inside, and we'll all get frustrated that it doesn't work.

Sir Fitz is fantastic in defense and gives his all, but he slows our attack down so much whilst also stifling Westermans game. For me Fitz should retire!

Don't you think that rather depends on who's the coach? Doubt a new coach will keep selecting a player who's not producing the goods, given the options we have in the halves next season.

Only time will tell, I suspect some of the "business" done by the previous board may be undone by AP if he possibly can.

The thing is we heard from a number of people how we would see new and improved players when they moved to club's with a decent coach but we dont seem to have seen this with Graham Horne, Mike Burnett, Craig Hall or Tommy Lee.

Hardly looking at players who were likely to achieve more elsewhere though, it's players like Yeaman, Briscoe, Moa etc. that would benefit from improved coaching.

You could argue that Briscoe and Moa have benefited from being coached by Agar?

If you'd been on drugs, you possibly could.

So you dont think Sam Moa is a better play now than the one that first arrived?

He couldn't have gotten any worse, is that Agar, is it O'Meley, is it Fitz? no idea
