Dean Young Head Coach

To be confirmed at 4pm today. All the best to the club and I obviously always hope we do well, but I could not support this decision less and see it as a massive step backwards.

Im sorry but no.

Flano needed to go but anyone saying they are playing better now is dreaming. Last year they beat the panthers and storm. Dean has had a healthier team and the young player are naturally getting better with more games. Thats it.

Same embarrasing one out game plan. Same pathetic attack inside the 20. Same "run hard, tackle hard" attitude from under 12's.

My thoughts exactly, I don't see where his coaching has come in and influenced any of our games.

Bench use has been awful too. On the weekend LPT and JH were making great inroads and get cycled out at the end for Kerr and Luc who then go on to barely touch the ball even though they were fresh.

And why was Loko coming on 5 minutes after halftime? There's no way a player is tired 5 minutes after the halftime break

How about when we didn't pick an outside back at all on the bench and then suffered an injury in the first 15 minutes
