Hi guys - with us having the bye this week, I have been contemplating the good and the bad of our season in 2013. I know what I am demanding may cause angst, but lets have a thorough analysis into this - if we miss the 8, then Hasler should be, in my opinion,sacked. Why?
1 With our roster, missing the 8 is an absolute disgrace.
2 Who has he brought to our club? That slab of crap Tony Williams and zero else - he implied Foran,DCE,Lyon,both Stewarts and Matai would follow him to us.
3 Our new young guns like Jackson and Finucane are going backwards in their development this year - Jackson has gone from SOO possibility to the bench!
4 We cant seem to compete with the top 8 teams this year - who cares if we beat Parra every week and get obliterated by the big guns?
5 We have no new attacking structures - once we got found out, and our sweeping obstruction plays which resulted in many a great but illegal try were banned, this year we having zero - fat duck egg.
6 Our for and against is atrocious - it is negative, and we are in the 8? Feel proud or
embarassed Mr Hasler?
7 Who is going to control his massive ego now that Greenburg has gone? When we dont make the 8, he will go insane and blame everyone but himself like Frankenstein's monster!
8 Finally, lets not forget that he had a magnificent roster at Manly when he won those two comps, and had Melb not cheated in 2007 maybe they would have won 3.
Is he the coach the media make out? I dont think so - time to go Mr Hasler!!!
1 Perhaps, but not looking likely atm
2 Did he? But At the end of the day, it was Des you signed. You got what you paid for.
3 No comment
4 I think results show this not to be the case (Well, you beat Manly at least)
5 Think I agree with this
6 Comp points are more important
7 Yes, I don't think Des can be accused of suffering from an insecurity complex
8 Ahhhhhh, stroke it for me some more!!! But seriously, Des inherited a a shambles from the mess that was left of the Northern Eagles. The "magnificent roster" was something he was instrumental in building.
I don't think its time for Mr Hasler to go.
But for better or worse you have yourselves a mercenary - he will sell his soul to the highest bidder.
I will agree with your subsequent posts on one point. I think you are fortunate in having Jim Dymock in the wings.
He showed great promise during his time as caretaker coach and will have learnt well under Hasler.
Yes, unfortunate that he has his roots in the rabbits, but then, Des came from the panthers... do do do do
