The clubs had success with MoN and co when BA was here we had a premiership challenging roster then and were the only team that gave the juggernaut Penrith Panthers a run consistently so I'll give credit for doing his job then.
The question is now can he do the same with JR can the mentioned and JR build a contender.Indications are not great at the moment and like the last few years of the last regime injuries rule changes and alike have played there part.
The bigger factors IMO and I think this is a bit damning how is it the bottom rung St George Dragons can fire a coach have absolute chaos going on in the back round but yet sign Kolomatangi Drinkwater and Metcalfe in the space of 6 months yet here we are still trying to find a long term solution for Dylan Brown 12 odd months after him signing for Newcastle.Why are we like a glacier that moves a foot a year I don't get it.We have everything these other clubs have off the park yet some how we aren't in contention for top tier talent when they come to market.Something isn't right.MoN JS MB our R N R what who is it.
One of the biggest if not the biggest club in Sydney and in the nrl treated like the red headed step child when it comes to recruiting and signing the mentioned.
Lorenzo is at the present time a myth, might be great, might be good, might not be. Before we talk about losing him if Burton comes, how about we throw him in the mix and actually see. I can hear the deluge of "we've lost another superstar" whining already. For gods sake test him out, its time . People say too young , not ready, if he goes to another club* (sanders) they will throw him in to learn his craft in first grade. Its time
Can't see it happening as he seems quite happy at the Bulldogs and his contribution last night against the Raiders didn't give any indication he wasn't happy at the bulldogs.
Everyone wanting to throw Lorenzo into first grade you do realise the kid is 18... he was in SG ball last year now in cup. Do you remember Dylan Browns first few years? Injuries after injuries he couldn't play consistently. Similarly look over at Mitch Woods for the Bulldogs, young and injuries stopping him from even playing a cup game this year. At 18 you are not ready for week in week out first grade. Sign a five eighth for 3-4 years. Lorenzo will be 21... still has over 10 years of first grade to play.
EA you watch Cup most weeks. Do you see Lorenzo improving steadily? Is his play stifling? I know playing 40mins each week when he was backing up would have stifiled his play somewhat but back playing 80mins week in week out can help moving forward.
"To expect a GM or CEO to overrule our head coach on team selections, rotations, final roster decisions or to blow up the cap lacks pragmatism and realism.
If you don't have faith in the coach, they're the first on the firing line, because in most…"
"I am not quite sure if we had our time again we pay Brown $1.3 mil though. We pay him a bit more than our original offer but not that much.
Though yeah Burton will set us back around $1 mil a year. Ratchet clauses in there too for an up in the…"
