Re: It's Official!

Very deftly handle by Paul Hamilton who showed more dazzling footwork than he ever did as player. With a media pack all on their high horses trying to lay traps at every turn he put them all flat on their collective faces. And what's more Bomber and Hirdy had "prior" commitments. Talk abou...

Re: Apologies for plagiarism....

There are two types of business leaders. Those that screw down the employee and hire at the minimum cost for the job safe therefore they themselves feel safe and smug. Or there are those and search and take aim for who they think is THE best available for the future and are willing to pay top dollar...

Re: Caro Wilthon in good form

Perhaps with her source gone Wilson feels free to put an altogether different spin on things with no one to keep onside any more.

Re: Ruthless

Have been extremely impressed with David Evans from the start when early in the season in his first TV interview he said"I don't see why we shouldn't be aiming at the finals every year". Exactly. That's the way it always was until Jackson proudly and publicly came out with one of his "...

Without willing him any harm wish he would just disappear into the ether for a while and pursue something that suits.

Re: Not to-Knight

Why would you feel sorry for Knights.
He managed to convince himself and others he could coach.Ended up being promoted well above his capabilities.
Like Leonardo Di Caprio in "Catch me if you can",he was eventually caught out.
Peter Jackson sure left his mark.

Re: The Hird effect...

Wouldn't it be marvelous if the affect follows that of two previous favorite sons Reynolds and Coleman who both had flags after two years.
Wishful thinking perhaps-but.

Re: Keep a lid on it.

Gringo is right. It's far too early to get carried away. The lists is still garbage and needs serious trimming. Hird is untried as a coach and comes in really just with his name. By all means kids be 'excited' but all this talk of having a powercracnk at work is just over the top... Hirdy doesnt th...

Yes excellent article and all too true but Robert was obviously restricted by the editor as he could have written at least double that.
Pity he wasn't on the original interview panel.

Make no mistake Knights caused huge damage. The first task of the ne...
