Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2602356, member: 1950"] Haven't seen much of Milford in the 6, though Ricky Stuart is the worst coach in the NRL so what would his selection policy really say about a particular player's best position? Would love to say Milford will slot straight into the 6 and we'll win a premiership (so does Hook). Geez it looks electric on paper - Hunt, Barba, Milford. There's some points in those 3! I'd say we're still a good 2-3 seasons off that and at least 1 more key organiser in the spine to have a real threat on the title. And all the Milford's in the world can't prevent or change the inherently weak mentality of a team that concedes a 22-0 lead in 20 minutes against the worst team in the competition, falling apart at the seams under a drug cloud and internal coup, who'd pretty much put the cue in the rack after the first try of the game. And we've done that against a similarily weak Parra outfit this year as well. The Rabbitohs had the same problem 2-3 years ago. They've got a great coach, great leaders and a culture of success and built self-belief about winning. But they used to find a way to lose games from unloseable positions or revert to the "old-Souths" mentality. You could see it when we almost pulled their pants down at Suncorp but they overcame. Hook has been a steady influence (as much flak as he cops here) and must take a large chunk of the credit for Ben Hunt's careful development and meteoric rise this season, the nursing of Macca and Glenn into leaders and the transition from those awful Henjak years. But he was always a caretaker. As is White. They've steadied the ship post Lockyer, but there needs to be someone with some more vision to harden this team into a professional unit. [/QUOTE]
