Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2331957, member: 1847"] Great thread Beads. It's rather obvious from my posts that I don't like Ivan. I don't like him because I think he is a poor coach.I think he is ego driven, a smart arse and I think the players don't like him - I have no proof of that, but how else do you account for the sudden nose dive? As I have posted elsewhere, we were forced to play with inexperienced players this year, and IMO, a drover's dog (to coin a phrase) would have done at least as well as Ivan, probably better, with the immense talent those young ones brought to the team. Our wins against the Storm, Manly, Dragons, Titans, Sharks and Roosters (a moral victory) showed with the right formula, we could mix it with the best. Ivan then proceeded to keep changing winning formulae. He dropped Sims. Why? Next year is his acid test for sure. At least he will have no excuses not to get the team into the GF with the likes of Inglis, Hannant, Kemp and Hodges back. Hopefully, next year, he will bench Locky's replacement, and blood him for 2012. Maybe it will be Norman. At this stage, it should be. Norman looks the goods. So from me, no more about Ivan - till early next season, unless we do make the finals and win our first finals match, in which case, I will eat my words, or some of them at least for the time being.
