My question still remains, who are the players that Campbelltown have recruited besides Withers, Lees and Wilson? No other players listed on the Sydney Footy website seem to be big names. I can't see why everyone thinks the Blues will do so well this year.
As well as all the reasons Woodsy mentioned, a new coach will usually find rebuilding a club to be at least a 2-year project.
After Rohan Graham took over at East Coast Eagles with his recruits, they struggled to gel in 2005 but then dominated for all but the last game in 2006. Similarly when Kevin Eynaud took over at Wests in 2004, it wasn't till 2005 that they really got going.
It often takes a new coach a year to sort through the club and fine-tune their lineup. KangaCoach has had that year last season.
For similar reasons, I expect it'll be next year rather than this year when Balmain will be in a position to push for a finals berth.
Why is Rooboy suspended? Surely he has created some great interest on this forum and livened it up?
Maybe Super KangaCoach and Pekay Barassi are the freckled ducks of the forum and if they are bagged its an automatic suspension?
Rumor - Pekay is starting up another thread asking who is the greatest forum writer in the SFL - surprisingly he has tipped himself as the greatest.........
It was a great achievement by Cousens and the Penno team - but one key difference was that Pennant Hills were already a top contender before he became senior coach. The year before they had only lost 2 H&A games so weren't far away. Compared to Wests in 2003, East Coast in 2004 and Campbelltown in 2005; Penno were already in a strong position.
That's certainly not taking anything away from Michael Cousens, who did a sensational job with Pennant Hills last season.
Serious GoEagles my psi limit is exceeded with you pumping my tyres up,surely an explosion is forthcoming! As far as the rumour goes,i've started such a thread,but i can hardly nominate myself,as i'm sure paragraph use is a pre-requisite.as far as that goes, i struggle like i'm watching rugby!
Thats pretty funny Monty,if ud give us ur name i'll send a gift basket.the more my name gets mentioned, the more people know who i am. One of few on here with the minerals to put his name to his words.you just keep reading my posts,its great.as for spotted duck,i'll send you a bill.
Yes as most know I am a male and use my daugthers name to post.
As I said all you do is launch personnal attacks on people, for what reason I cant comprehend.
I have played senior footy up here for 16 years with Bankstown and South West. The only time I considered playing elsewhere was when Bankstown folded and I trained with St George until learning of our merger with Liverpool to form SWS. I have made a lot of friends during my days at both clubs and that my reasoning for never looking elsewhere.
Currently I am on the board at SWS and am coaching this year. I dont really care who plays where or for what reasons as I love the game and want to see it prosper in NSW.
Unlike a lot on this site I dont discrimate over what divisions people are involved in as I believe the more the merrier. I have also found over the years playing in a certain div doesnt necessarily mean you are a better player. A number of players I have played with over the years would have walked into any Premier Div 1st grade side in Sydney but for reasons of their own they played at my club (I am not talking players we targeted either) and we were lucky to have them.
Why not instead of petty sniping offer something constructive to the site like most here.
