Our overall predicament is down to Davis Hughes, he could have built on what Lenaghan started, but made a bad choice in MacKay. This seasons predicament is down to a lack of grunt up the middle, pure and simple. I don't blame the players for recruitment policy, I blame the management!

Lack of grunt, lack of any leaders on the park ( apart from Hendo), usual bad luck with injuries to key players,
Same old London really.

Powell was the biggest mistake, Mackay was just a useless puppet whose job was to find sponsors and fill boxes, non of which he did.

You look at the Powell situation! Yep it comes down to management of the club, but you also have to ask the question, at the time was it him or no one? we dont seem to have been blessed with people flocking to the south to work for us!
Dont foget at start of season he got coach of the month, for a while he was the saviour!
Not heard much input from Nobby the latest saviour.
More boxes were sold than you know, one i know for a fact was paid for all season and never used! Not trying to apologise for GM by the way.
On the park, losing key players basically for the season didnt help us, would we have faired better? not sure, certainly Hendo on the park made us a better team.

We spent full salary cap that year, just think what Micheal McGuire could have done with that and where we would be today.

Powell was a coach with experience of managing under 16's

Do you see the difference, just a thought?
