You constantly accuse others of overzealous criticism of our coach but you are just as guilty in your constant defence of him. Why would you expect for one second that the tone of threads on here would change after what we again dished up on Thursday night? Someone has to take responsibility for our alarming decline. I would expect that this should be our million dollar coach. This is his team and therefore his responsibility. Blame individual players all you like but this article points to one of the key reasons why the players may be under performing. It is a highly relevant article and its not the first time this issue has been raised.
If we are in salary cap strife for next year and players aren't feeling secure about their future then you have to ask yourself how we got in this position. Manly went through the same thing and are really just recovering now. The common thread is Hasler. He definitely deserved our respect and our trust in his first 4 years but after this year it is hard, nearly impossible, to defend him any longer. With his job on the line at the beginning of this year he promised a new approach and improvement for 2017. The buck should stop with him now (and those who re-signed him). This article clearly points to another issue of his and the clubs's mismanagement.
