Like Ratta. A great get. Can't wait to see what he does with the mids and rucks. The Gresh Prince looks like he will be playing as a mid too.

Hi Ted. I was wondering, what do you base those assessments on?

For mine, our new 'coaching help' still doesn't do it for me.

Lade? His record re what happened at the Tuggers... when he left (they suddenly went up), and Teal Turkeys when he arrived (they went down, despite significant recruiting of senior players, and despite getting Ryder back). Coincidence? Or correlation...?

Alfred E Neuman? People are free (and encouraged) to take this next bit for whatever...
I was speaking with a Dawk's fan earlier this week. She said Alfred E was moved-on to make way for the returning Sam Mitchell. I pointed out, that like all clubs, the Dawks have heaps of assistant coaches to choose from if 'room needs to be made'.
She agreed. Thinks the Dawks have assessed Alfred's coaching ability as somewhat limited, and that he's certainly not a senior coach.

(Personally, I still don't get the 'he was hard done by' hype over his time as a barracker in the Carlscum coaching box. And remember, he got to coach arguably the strongest Carlscum side of this century.)




Not directly related to our Saint's immediate future, but interesting nonetheless I thought, was what she said about Hodge and coaching. Thought that the Dawks assessed him as being an amazing on-field general, marshaller of the troops, and all that - as we've seen again at the Teddies. But... not so good as an off-field/non-playing coach.

Like Ratta.

Pretty sure his nickname is 'ratts', not sure why you are trying to get your own nicknames off the ground on here?
