As supporters we want the quick turnaround of course we do, but realistically we won't know if the coaching change was a success for a couple of years.
Last 8 years’ ladder positions: 9th, 9th, 6th, 14th, 16th, 10th, 9th, 14th.
Not sure that coaching is the problem. They have tried a host of coaches with this list, and with the exception of a slight overachievement in 2020, the team has finished no better than 9th.
We are on track to finish exactly where this list has been for the last 8 years.
Lyon wasn’t brought in to fix this in 18 games he’s been brought in to stop the rot with poor training standards and lack of discipline. For those whingeing about “his game plan” you didn’t whinge at start of the season when we scored well and were no 1 for transition. Lyon is on record saying that’s the way he wants us to play to get back to that …what you’re seeing now isn’t by design of the coach it is by poor decision making and skill execution by players with our so-called leaders the worst offenders
