I'd be fascinated to know how many people go at the moment because they support some other SL team but live in the south, opposed to how many are Broncos supporters.

Well if Tony Rea is still here its his chance to show his recruiting skills - he has done it before - if we added 4 or 5 forwards (probably) then we might be more competitive than this year? Though that would nt be that difficult?

Rea might have the recruiting skills but from where I've been sitting this season he hasn't got the coaching skills. There's got to be someone out there who can teach teams how to complete sets and tackle.

Indeed! Someone to get the players out of this idea that they have to score off every bloody play!

Funny how he has suddenly lost these skills after guiding us to the playoffs in his previous stint, an achievement reserved for a very select band of people.

Personnel is the issue, solid Australian imports replaced by substandard products of our Academy who aren't up to it for whatever reason. And look what a mess that has got us in to.

What do you know? It's been proven that Brian McDermott is a crap coach with his poor resuts after leaving London remember.

Indeed. Funny how this thread has gone quiet all of a sudden

as I said...it would take 3 or 4 seasons to see how crap Mac is as a coach.....they're 5th this year and have no chance of getting to, let alone winning the GF from there

No matter who is coaching the side next year, unless the club publish a 10 year plan for the club with ACHIEVABLE AND MEASURABLE KPI's then all we'll get is more of the same.....whether that's in the SL or the Champs...no difference really.
