But the Assistant’s job is to implement the Head Coach’s instructions so I think its unfair to blame Chev. If you blame him for the failures then you should credit him for his part in the upturn since Agar left.

I also know Rhys Evans is a 27yr old 2nd division Centre ditched from SL
with zero interest in him & no record whatsoever of being a capeble SL back up Wing or FB.

Zero interest until a coach who has coached him before has decided to to take a punt for 12 months He'll fill in on the wing and maybe centre if he's crap then he won't get picked.

WE shouln't have lost Ben Markland. Outstanding in last year's Academy games.

So you would play a winger not 18 until March who is only 5ft 6 and 12 and a it bit stones against seasoned SL players?
