Nasheed here,
I am curious about stories of things you saw coming beforehand that happened at the doggs, and why you thought this.
I have actually foreseen so many things beforehand that makes me question a lot of things in management.
Some I saw:
- letting Cook go. To me this was so bizarre because Cook was already starting to do freaky thangs on the field with us as he was adjusting from halfback to hooker. He was cutting up teams hard when the game has reached a point where defence was winning out and the game needed to be loosened up with less interchanges. It was obvious to me Cook could have been something special. Which he built on at south’s. I genuinely believe he was a better hooker than halfback.
- Barrett crapness. I had a hunch based on his manly fuck up that he wouldn’t work, but what did concern me is HOW he recruited for us. He was enticing some decent players our way, but not spinal players.
He could have outlaid good money to get Reynolds, who didn’t have to move house and wanted 750. He could have stolen Townsend from the sharks for 500 probably. 6 months later Payten saw it and gave him 800 and was the buy of the year.
We also had a shot at Benji marshal who would have cost nothing to come and coach his brother. But instead we went hard for a winger and risky players. Also thinking flanno was cleary was lol
- Hopoate going shit. I could see his body slowing down at the end of the good year he had with us in 2019. I made a lengthy post on this site saying we need to offload him whilst someone would be willing to pick him up at full 600k value. No one did and we suffered.
- Woods signing. Not because he was bad. He was a sensational player then. But I could see the cap issues coming.
In fact some people here at the time really foresaw all our off field dramas before it happened and I want to here from those homeboys.
