Message: [QUOTE="Skathen, post: 3395762, member: 8789"] You raise an excellent point with our roster. Doherty was instrumental in helping to clean that up, Ikin too. As for caring about the club, you're probably right - but caring won't get you beating the storm. That takes a lot more. Kev's unfortunately though never really had a track record of being a gun coach. We lurched out of utter dominance in origin after Mal moved on to coach Australia - scraping two narrow wins then a loss. *takes a break to wipe some sand off the table* Players like CSmith didn't want to play for him after 1 series with him at the helm even though he continued playing 3 additional seasons after quitting origin - he even refused to go pitch in at training while Kev was there. He referenced "odd" training methods and differences of opinion. Not the kind of guy you want saying that stuff about you given he's an easy shoe-in for an immortal slot when the time is right - love him or loathe him, he was the best #9 possibly ever, but definitely in living memory. Kevin's bench utilisation I think you'd find not many disagreeing that it's been sub-par to poor - although this season has been less poor. Kev's own boss when talking about him, came up with the "He's a really good person" instead of talking up how amazing his coaching ability is. Anyway, we've totally derailed this thread. Sorry mods.
