PHILOSOPHY
The titans were formed on the warm and fuzzy pretence of family values and signed guys like Presto, Prince, Bailey, Lafranchi et al. Nice guys, silky skills but all lacked the dose of mongrel that I look for in a football team.
My new team will be formed on aggressive play and guys not frightened to put in every match. Players like Inglis would be picked ahead ahead of players like Slater, solely based on their grunt factor.
I have always believed that you need 6 forwards. 2 on the field, 2 on the bench, and two suspended.
From the current roster the basis of my team looks like this
1.
2.
3. BLAIR
4.TIGHE
5.
6.
7.
8.JAMES
9.CARTER
10.IOANE
11.TAYLOR
12.MILES
13.BIRD
14. WHITE
15.
16.FALLOON
17.RIDGE
The rest need to man up, as they are on notice.
1.MEAD (needs to OWN this position)
2. DON. (defensive reads not a high point)
5.GORDON. (get a haircut)
6. SEZER (needs to improve his kicking game)
7. KELLY (needs to attack the line more)
15. DOUGLAS (more interested in NRL consecutive matches record than putting in each week)
To free up the salary cap I am prepared to release immediately Mini, Bailey, Harrison, Zillman, Michaels. None of these guys realistically form part of the plan for the next few years.
It is no secret that I dislike but respect certain opposition players. We need to change the culture from the top down.
