Im glad you disagree.
Gives me a chance to respectfully disagree with you and explain why.
Before Moore, our coaches were Chris Anderson, Gould and Steve Folkes for the 20 years preceding. We had a solid run of always being a premiership winner, grand finalist of just always up there about whilst playing a distinctive brand of footy.
This all changed when Moore took over.
Granted Folkes was approaching his used by date and the SBW situation didn't help things, when Moore took over. We really dropped the ball.
Firstly. He only got the job because he was Bullfrogs uncle or something. So from the get go we know this is nepotism, and not the best man for the job.
It's like in Bankstown when the Lebs charge other lebs 5 bucks for a kebab but then 9 bucks when an Aussie or Riz walks in. Only difference was this was at a corporate multi million dollar level.
All of a sudden we played weird footy like Souths at the time. Losers played for us. Guys so bad that I wish I could have named them in my worst team. But I didn't. We got the spoon (or lucked out because storm were docked, can't remember) and the train wreck that exists till this day started.
On the field, he had no real plan. He was a one trick pony with one set move that usually involved giving it to Bronson Goodwin. Teams figured it out quickly and he had no answers. And was punted.
anyine who follows could literally see his game plan. It was so easy to read.
The only saving grace, was he had the balls to face the community and force El Masri to retire, and made shrewd recruitment decisions Towards the end, which saves him from train wreck status and is pretty commendable as a coach. Recruitment is big.
However, this is blunted a tiny bit because he got lucky that Bennett for some reason told Hannant, Staggs, Eastwood and some other guy to go to the dogs. They all turned out decent. So I don't even know if his strongest point was a lot to do with him?
Its the reason why he's never mentioned in Bulldogs halls.
Pay isn't great but he's doing ok with the squad he has. Can he recruit? This will be his test.
His 12 month clock starts officially ticking now
