Message: [QUOTE="KingWebcke, post: 2543347, member: 8372"] I really don't think the poor quality of the backline in 2008 was Stuart's fault at all. Firstly, he was only there from 2007 not 2006 and secondly, (as you say) the Sharks were a cash-strapped club and they had a poor feeder system. Stuart would have been partially responsible for recruitment and retention but he isn't a miracle worker. The Sharks had a poor backline when he arrived but they never had the cash to throw at big name players. He just have to work with what he had and he did that very well in 2008. Stuart's poor recruiting didn't really start until 2009 when he let Noddy go and brought in Tupou and Maitua. you can criticise Stuart for his work at the Sharks in 2009 because it was very poor. I think Stuart has got enough stuff on his resume that you can target but criticising his work with the Sharks in 2008. I think trying to find negatives from 2008 is grasping at straws. Every dog has his day and 2008 was an excellent year for Sticky [/QUOTE]
