Considering players are getting blogs about how well or poorly they are playing, I wanted to put one up for our Coach.
Over the past few years we here have been pretty divided over his ability, credentials, experience, and the stories that preceded him.
and even though we were starting from a low set bar, we argued about his improvements to the team and where we were placed on the ladder.
Now to this year, we have been singing the praises of our defense, improvementS of Terepo, Taka, Norman. Our stamina, concentration. Our halves working together and even our recruitment etc.
Yes, all these need 100% input from the players, but for me there is one reason for these improvements, BA.
He has managed to see where we needed improvement and target players to fill those holes, create a team culture second to none (esp considering whats happening around them), got their fitness to levels never seen before, self belief and belief in your team mates has improved. But as Foran originally stated, he manages to take players games to another level. Players like Scott who did get up for SOO, but week to week would be fairly avg, has now become a week to week SOO intensity type play. Someone who not only mops up and gets the job done but someone who also inspires those around him.
All this is not just a random coincidence, it is part of a plan, BA's plan, and I for one salute him for his efforts so far and believe that this is only just the start.
WELL DONE BRAD.......

One answer made me very happy. Jennings said that the team knew that if they stuck to their structures they would come home strongly in the last 10.
THAT'S EXACTLY EHAT HAPPENED!
That comes from great coaching. A very different attitude to previous years. This team knows what they are capable of and it's a massive improvement.
I never labelled him a 'bush coach' like some on here. (Yes Fong I know you apologised to BA but still. You hammered him here for years. )
I see youve made a new friend Poppa
Get your own bloody Unicorn hahaha
Yes but neither is Mr Bennett and Mr Gibson, but look what they achieved.
Where was Foz during the interview after the game? Jennings was in his place.
