Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3637565, member: 9853"] Kevvie might one day be regarded as a "great coach' - I hope so - but he has a long way to go before deserving that accolade. He's probably done a few things right, and he might be responsible for getting us to a Grand Final (as distinct from getting the credit.) Last year's success sandpapers over the cracks of earlier failings. You have to overlook the musical chairs period of inability to gel a halves pairing, the failure to coach and retain Tom Dearden, and letting Reece Walsh go. There remains a questionmark over his son that has yet to be a distinct conflict of interest. Unless you try and pick at the Cory Paix mystery. I could go on, but last season effectively excuses those. Until it happens again... Other than Adam Reynolds, his imports haven't been great. Most have been duds. Reece is far and away our most valuable player, and Kevvie really can't take any credit for him returning on a paltry salary. He was a star in his first trial. He should never have been released. We were lucky to get him back. Have players bloomed under his coaching? I wouldn't like to say either way, but not emphatically. Ezra is now starting to cop shit for not having blossomed into more than he was last year. Jock Madden isn't working. Our hooker rotation is questionable. We are bare in the second row, and desperately need what Kurt Capewell was. Payne Haas is keeping on, keeping on, but he could be so much more. And, of course, our wonderfully unpredictable high risk attack is now looking more like high error than high payoff. At this stage, we can only be certain Kevvie's a "great bloke." [/QUOTE]
