I would have blamed Gus but he was stinking up cricket fielding standards at the time.

Seriously though Monie's record is unfathomable.

As is the fact Broncos appear to have killed his career stone dead.

It's interesting to talk to people who played at London under Mc.

There was a time where they lost a game at home. He was so peeved at the players, he ordered them to do a fitness session, where they were flogged at. This happened shortly after the game itself.

On other occasions he made them do military training at sparrow's when they lost games.

Every Aussie that I have spoken to have said he was a good coach. The results may not show that, but it sounds like we had a good general who didn't have the best ammo to win the war.

I think he was a good coach, as you say without the actual resources. He put in place many structures we have benefitted from (since destroyed and now having to be re-established). Made links to the wider amateur game others had ignored. Created more of a club than the just the team that had existed before. The results shouldn't just be viewed on the first team performance.
