Message: [QUOTE="Twiztid, post: 2348191, member: 2144"] First part is true.. The difference is, everyone says that all that matters is on field success and the Dragons have had just as much trouble getting the premiership as we do. That is the comparison I am making with the two teams. Second part is true in regards to our off field and on the field success has sucked. I have never denied it, we have had hopeless people running the club for many years with no idea on how to adapt to the changes and work with it. Since Russell and PHAC took over the club we have become more attractive to players, fans and sponsors. Now the players need to win and with a player like Inglis there is an even greater chance of getting the job done, the problem is if our injury is as high as last year. I also don't agree on Asotasi and Dave Taylor. Asotasi played in one of the best forward packs in the early 00's and had a great run with injuries. When he joined Souths he was our BEST forward and the only one able to get thru the line. He has since had 2 bad injuries that have set him back but he has continued to come back and be one of our best. The only problem being is he hasn't lived up to his value if he is reported to be on $450k. On Dave Taylor it is hard to say how he will turn out. I remember at the start of last year the Broncos CEO or someone at the Broncos said we should run him around in Prem League to lose the weight. Yet his efforts on our left side through the year won us some games and when he was injuried we really lost of a lot of impact on that side both in attack and defence that again lost us some key games that could have got us into the finals. I can't be bothered going into other players as this post is long enough. Plus look at our coaches since we got back into the comp Craig Coleman, Paul Langmack, Arthur Kitanas, Shaun McRae, Jason Taylor and John Lang. I don't think any of these coaches besides John Lang would have been able to win the comp with some of Broncos premiership winning teams. If Bennett came here and did win the comp he would be a god, but he would also probably have one of the best teams any South Sydney coach has had to play with in the past 20 years. The magic of Bennett is turning those fringe players into confident first graders and that is what we really need to turn around the most. [/QUOTE]
