Tooves rode the coat tails of a well oiled Hasler coached side, but then the cracks are appeared. The game changed, injuries, retirements, players moving on... it has shown Toovey out as a bit of a fraud of a coach.
He has struggled to contol recruitment and make hard calls, and it is obvious that the club is in a slump regarding performances, which as a coach it's your job to rectify, yet he cannot dig them out of the hole they are in.
Add in that the new owners never really liked him, and it was just a matter of waiting for the right excuse to shaft him. Tooves handed them it with the team failing to fire this season.
