Nasheed here,
Just putting my thoughts up in here on this because I know how the Kennel likes to run with and believes things they want to hear. Confirmation bias.
Everyone is blindly siding with James Graham’s recent comments that Andrew Davey has thrown a tantrum and wanted out because he ‘couldn’t compete with Preston’ but in reality, I think everyone is just jumping on James reacting emotionally and dissing Davey. Not even an analysis. A diss.
At least something to consider.
As I said to Maroondog - use critical thought.
There are 3x 2nd rower spots in the 17 on game day. 6 in the squad. One of those players (kikau) was done for best part of season, from memory, round 1. Davey players in the 17 mostly when fit, although he’s too was injury affected.
He is ahead of Topine and was competing with Waddell. I don’t think he give a fuck about Preston, because he was playing alongside him, not instead of. Also I see no evidence Davey demanded a top 13 spot. He has never been that player ever.
The reality is he didn’t like it here and wanted out. Otherwise he would have at least played out the season as our injuries gifted him his best chance for a regular spot. we need to accept this instead of blindly listening to James Graham’s one sided narrative.
Davey was obviously being honest. Questionable that he spoke up - but likely baited from buzz.
He wanted out becaause in his opinion, our training and coaching stank.
That makes most sense.
Even if it’s a Preston thing, management should have handled it better. The issues exist.
Our club is cultivating its own narrative to deflect from our issues and criticism and is doing a good job, but it is most likely propaganda.
