That list of coaches definitely shows you what our issue is.

There really are some crap coaches in there isn't there. I still think a good coach is the most important thing our club needs. Until that happens we are going to continue to perform badly.

Cleaned out in the centres so will go the makeshift route, and this guy filled in plenty of times in the centres and other positions to great effect..... Who could ever forget that magical try in the semi's he scored against the Storm to get us to the big dance.

Went with versatility at lock,had to toss for this pick and lost but glad I still get him in another position.

When I first met him at a fan day,I judged the book by it's cover.
Big smiles and a bit goofyish.

Then on the field we got nippy, skillful, tough as teek tenacious never back down go all day till I die player.

A hooker who can play in the backrow.
Will add starch and hard workmanship to my pack.

1991 Raiders Rookie of the year.
1999 Warriors player of the year.

Is there a "Doctor in the House."

9- Robbie Mears

Yea it is sad that he couldn't reach his true potential because of injury. We could have really used him over the last couple of years.

Think lock was his best position as well.

Nice- u got the combo there- manu always took the first one then while the defenders were scattered lewy (summoning his inner hooker) would shoot straight outta dummy half- got us on the front foot every time.

He is a good choice actually. Tate in his prime was a force to be reckoned with.
That musta been before he came here and wasted a bunch of our cap space, then left to retire but instead returned to again play better than he ever played here.

I’m so conflicted! Just watching highlights videos on you tube for the ones that have them.

Yea I had that situation yesterday. It's difficult to decide when the available options seem equally good or have completely different playing styles.
