I like to be serious about this, and unfortunately Des is off the pace these days. He pioneered some really great things at Manly, but it's a case of same old, same old. He has a propensity to stifle footballers and produce very robotic play. I really don't think that is conducive to a modern strategy, and unfortunately his legacy is suffering. Back to Lloyd, he will only improve and the sky is the limit IMOI've read where he said DESpicable ordered him to run, tackle but not to pass/offload.
When a coach pigeon-holes/hamstrings players, like Lloyd, it's no wonder they blossom when they move to another club which lets them use their brain/initiative.
Let's hope DESpicable keeps ruining players at the Dogs.
Thing is , he's still young, and has loads and loads of development to go.
Jake is unique , most forwards don't mature until they are mid to late 20's, I think Lloyd will be one of those.

Really good pick up. He was always highly rated as a junior. But when he was made available I wondered what was missing. There was a bit of talk on here that he didn't like the tough stuff but I haven't seen him put too many feet wrong. ( note to self don't manipulate that saying like that again everyone, well the luckiest majority of us, have two feet. Not many have more.) but not everyone has to be bull at agate aggro all the time. Works for some. Costs the others unnecessary penalties.
That was here

Hopefully no lost weekends for our Lloyd
I think Des is still a good coach but he needs good players with X Factor when they had Barba they made the gf now he has the worst attacking players and has set a game plan to suit there abilities. look what he did with us our team was the most entertaining team for years. The way we played was brilliant and smart. remember the kite off the kick off cut out ball to our winger? ox putting it up for snake and snake out jumping the fb. The dogs don't have half of this lol there players are crap what can he do. look at Wayne and knights. then he goes to broncos and gets them to a gf. why ? its all the players you have and a good coach makes them better.I like to be serious about this, and unfortunately Des is off the pace these days.

No, Des signed with the Dogs back in late 2011 - it is he and he alone that has chosen the players he wanted in the current Dogs squad.I think Des is still a good coach but he needs good players with X Factor when they had Barba they made the gf now he has the worst attacking players and has set a game plan to suit there abilities
What did Newcastle do to deserve Des?No, Des signed with the Dogs back in late 2011 - it is he and he alone that has chosen the players he wanted in the current Dogs squad.
True, no-one can buy whoever they want, but he has been working on his Dog strategy for years.
He's got them close before, but this year they just seem to be over it. Time to move to Newcastle, Des.
