Des is absolutely to blame for the current roster which doesn't have a recognised spine containing players in specialist positions. It's one of the glaringly obvious reasons we can't achieve the ultimate success under his reign.It's funny. I think if anyone was coaching the current squad we'd be losing 50-0 every week.
On the other hand though Des is probably also to blame for the shit squad in the first place. lol
The only reason we made it to those grand finals with Des was due to the fact we had Barba, Ennis and Hokko, specialists in key positions. Unfortunately, Melbourne were too good for us defensively and we missed Ennis due to suspension whilst Hokko was on one leg against the bunnies.
How can we compete today against teams with 2 x halves, a fullback & hooker who have control, direction, vision and a kicking game.
We currently have 2 x halves that are x-hookers who are natural ball runners, a fullback who was a specialist winger who is considered a centre and a hooker that struggles with some fundamentals of the role.
Overall, I think our squad tries hard, but we lack key people in key positions and the club needs to rethink its recruitment strategy. We also lack some depth.
