Quote ="rubber duckie"Could it be Tony Smith is a manager like Brian Noble or Ian Millwall?.. In the sense that each were/are good at man management and have the skill to tinker a structure and maintain its productivity at a high output?
Yet to date, have any of them proven that they can build a side?
Cullen took us as far as he could but I reckon he was ill-advised over halfbacks and his misfortune was inevitably playing hookers at 7.
Had Bridge not gone astray I believe Cullen may just had of done it. He was on the cusp but the Monaghan at 7 did him in the end.
Is Smith is playing the same dumb move when he throws Monas in at 7 too?'"
How many players who were signed by Smith played in the last two Grand Finals we got to?
