Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2688934, member: 1899"] There was nothing to be gained from that. Lovett isn't a centre, he's a backrow who was asked to do a job for his team and it clearly was beyond him. That isn't a knock on him, just like it wouldn't be a knock on Gillett or Glenn if they couldn't handle it. It's up to the coach to recognise that and Taylor failed to do so. I don't disagree with the rest of what you've said although I don't think his long term vision excuses him either. You've got to make the best of what you've got. While it's admirable that he's trying to get the Tigers to become a more consistent side, if it doesn't work to the side's strengths than it is just poor coaching. I also don't think his recruitment has been that great either. Released a bunch of players and brought nobody in despite it being apparent that they desperately need some starch in their forward pack. Can live with small term pain for long term gain but who has he signed to help out his young halves? I agree that the Tigers should stick by him for now but don't think he's done anything to deserve being rated highly. Talking the talk in press conferences shouldn't be enough to land you a job, otherwise you'll just end up with Matt Elliott. [/QUOTE]
