Agree,his mistake in hindsight was thinking he would be given some leeway.That’s a pretty weak squad at the time mate. It looks good seeing Carrigan, Dearden, Farnworth, Fifita, Coates, Haas, Flegler etc until you realise they were all 18, 19, 20 year olds. Whoever had that squad for the next couple years was always going to look good. Kevvie Walters benefited from Siebold development I think
He stuck with those kids and let go the vets so as to not lose them,thinking he would develop that squad.
They had a **** year and that gave the old boys the chance to get into him.
Seems he learnt this time and is blending the vets in with the kids.
