I'm saying the best we're gonna get is top 4. Which is useless, we've been there, done that, most seasons.

Respectfully, you cannot say that with certainty at this stage. It may well turn out to be the case but you cannot be 100% certain.

I don’t know what happened over night but I have woken up brim full of optimism! Of course it may just be that we don’t have a game this weekend but I don’t think so. C’mon the WIRE!!!!

Once again, its not my job to figure that out. It doesn't mean I can't have a negative opinion on a decision made, based on the facts at hand. Which is - Burgess' personal success never did anything for those around him, because aside from 1 solitary year, all Souths were, were nearly men. We've had that ad nauseum.

you're the one brining his playing career into it.. saying he isn't a winner.

It just makes you look a bit silly tbh.

Sure, you can question the appointment, but referring back to his playing career as a yardstick? come on now.

You called him a born winner. By saying that, YOU brought his playing career into it. I was just saying that if he couldn't get the rest of his playing mates to perform to a trophy winning standard consistently, then why believe he would as a coach.

Did you have a bet on who the coach would be.

Not heard any rumours, though i would like us to Keep Gleeson on for longer than just this year.
He's massively experienced and hopefully can sharpen our attack and take us up a gear.

Think I read somewhere he had something sorted in France for next year? He seems to favour RU.

Re: New Coach : Mon Aug 14, 2023 6:56 pm  

Doesn't Gleeson have a job coaching USA RU next year? That's how I understood it. Maybe we can tempt him out of it if things go well with the attacking structure.
