You see folks it is all entertainment....roll up roll up....the circus has begun!
Pretty weak points about the other coaches.
Mick is paid the most in the league.
You expect professionalism and you expect results.
You expect a guy your paying 1 million a year will have the respect from the media, the league and the fans.
You expect a guy your paying 1 million a year to not be putting paper up on the glass to block cameras.
You expect a guy your paying 1 million a year to be focused on the game and to be composed to make the right decisions. I did not see composure at 1/2 time and after 1/2 time, the players were flat and it was like watching a different side. Sure Sydney played well, but it was a massive drop off from the first half.
You expect a guy your paying 1 million a year to have better results and a game plan implemented after nearly 2 seasons.
You expect a guy your paying 1 million a year not to talk up his opposition team like they have already lost the game. Great confidence booster pre game. Sydney are probably greatest team of all time, just in case we lose. I told you so.
I would like to say some positives about Mick and how he has delivered value for money in the 2 million in cheque's he has received so far, but it is pretty hard to find.
Oh yeah, Rowe is playing well and a couple youngsters through natural progression. Thanks Mick. *ching* *ching*
Someone tell Mick that he won't be missed if he retired tomorrow. Can get the same output out of a rookie coach like Stuart Dew, Cameron Ling and probably a lot more with an understanding of the modern game
