Message: [QUOTE="Financeguy, post: 3153126, member: 8280"] The thing in Holbrooks favour is that things couldn't get any worse when he came in and expectations on the Titans are so low with little media coverage to add pressure. Their fan base is poor in numbers and are probably the most insignificant club out of the 16 to neutral fans/followers of the game. Casual observers of the game could come in and see that Cartwright/S Boyd/Peachey/Peats/Wallace/James/Taylor/Latu were well overpaid compared to what they offer on the field so punting/trading/releasing any of them was all upside and low hanging fruit for Holbrook to get some runs on the board. The pickup of Corey Thompson was handy but hardly the signing to challenge top 4 let alone top 8 and even the signing of Ese'Ese was reported as being better than it really was as he has struggled at Newcastle where others have flourished and i doubt they tried hard to keep him or he hit the radar of many other clubs. Sure the signing of Fifita and Tino are steps in the right direction but i think the true measure of Holbrook will come when he has to make tougher choices than releasing the duds listed above and has to start making roster choices based on experience vs. youth to get the mix right. If he can turn this soulless club into a genuine premiership force over the next 5 years cementing themselves into the top 8 consistently i will tip my hat to him. [/QUOTE]
