Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3358591, member: 9853"] Unfortunately, the stakes are higher than just Kevvie, the coach. Kevvie, along with his trusty ward Alan Langer, are the embodiment of the the Golden Age of Brisbane. Take that away, or worse prove it a failure, and you're bursting a much bigger bubble. We need Kevvie to succeed, at least at some level. Right now, we're getting the impression the club is a happier place and the players like each other. That's a pretty good start. But we still need them to win. I would be giving Kevvie at least another year, with the excuse the club has been hamstrung by subsidizing players at other clubs. And if the feeling is he's not up to head coach standard, there better be a top notch assistant coach doing the actual coaching. There isn't one right now. Jordan Riki is saying the right things, following his stink with Flegler: [INDENT]“What happened was one of those things. I was incredibly embarrassed by my actions and I know Tom was, too, but we have to move on and keep working hard together at the club. Me and Tommy ... we are very close mates. He was one of the first people I met when I moved over here from New Zealand at a young age."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“It was very kind of him to take me into his house and we formed that brotherly bond. He is a year or two older than me, so I’m like his younger brother and sometimes I can do things that get on his toes and he will do some things that get on mine.”[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“At the end of the day, we are like brothers and we are good teammates,” Riki said. “I’m sure people out there have brothers or sisters and you can get frustrated with each other sometimes. It’s like that here, we are with each other almost 24-7 and at times people get on each other’s nerves. But the next day, you can have a laugh and a joke about it. That’s all it was with me and Tom. We are a tight-knit family here.”[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“We all want to rip in and make the finals this year. We need to be brutally honest with each other to play finals. There were moments where a few people were afraid to speak up last year, but now we have the right players here, like Adam Reynolds and Kurt Capewell, to do that. We need to hold ourselves accountable personally."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“The last couple of years here have been pretty sour for us, but if we can nail our defence, I can’t see why we can’t make the top eight this year.”[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
