Message: [QUOTE="The Brizz, post: 2449079, member: 1817"] I think people had stupid expectations on the Knights, Bennett was brought in to completely overhaul the way they train, develop, the style they play and the type of players they want in their side. Snowden has not been a flop and anyone who labels him as one is probably a biased Bennett basher (AP and QLDER) the guy was out injured for a fair while this season, he was also playing hurt for significant periods and has been pretty good since coming back recently, the fact they have added Willie Mason to good success only highlights just how little they had up front going into the year. Guys like Taia, Cuthbertson, Tetevano etc are not first grade standard front rowers (Taia is a good backrower) so Snowden was there with those guys in a side getting pushed backwards also their backrow doesn't contribute heavily to their yardage guys like Costigan and Housten are not big metre gainers usually neither is McKinnon. On Boyd he has come to a side in massive transition, yes he is on big money and in a key position but the whole side took a long while to really look like a team. Add to that Buderus was new in that spine as well and Gidley (who pretty much runs the team) was ruled out for the vast majority of the year there are some pretty decent reasons why they and he underperformed. They definitely improved in the second half of the year and will be a much better side with another full preseason with Bennett as well as new recruits he brings in. [/QUOTE]
