Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2530961, member: 1950"] The problem is in this tight competition, the difference between a 5th and 13th is a little bit of luck. Hook has had literally zero luck in his coaching career. Lockyer going down in the preliminary final in Hook's first year as an NRL coach probably denied him a premiership which he could have soaked up for 3-4 years. His main strike weapon horrifically snapping his ankle in half, followed by a slew of injuries to outside backs, followed by Lachlan Maranta who LITERALLY (in the proper sense of the word, by not scoring where a competent winger would have) lost us at least 3 games this season. That said, there was an awful period this year when the team was not mentally prepared for games which is apparently Hook's greatest asset as man manager. The losses to the Eels and the Raiders were a result of undeserved arrogance and the Warriors capitulation was just a team devoid of confidence or togetherness. I'd give Hook 2014. If he gets the same result as 2013 (but has the attacking weapons in Barba and Milford and the forwards with Kennedy) then he is going to come under serious scrutiny. [/QUOTE]
