hahahahaha transformed the club? From what to what?

From a list of good young guys that needed only a few more years to make a charge at a premiership to an under achieving group of players that should have already tasted premiership glory. Second longest serving coach at the club and achieved nothing.

Can somebody please delete Renegade's post?

The coaches have done a good job thus far. The addition of Balme, sanderson and Wheadon seems to have helped the coahces from previous years.

So you're happy with what he's achieved since 2000?

I didn't say that. Said he has done a good job thus far in 2007.

Chappys right he has done a good job with the boys this year so far, think its got more to do with Balmey being there but at least he seems more committed , like his jobs on the line , like Big Brother is watching him.
But carnt complain really although I have my knife out ready

The best thing you can do is ignore Renegade.... He used to provide decent posts but these days he attempts to play the "bad boy" role and make jokes....

The word goose comes to mind for some reason..

Must of done something since 2000 to get us to the stage where we are at now?

What stage is that? I don't see a premiership cup. We've underachieved for years. I don't see why everybody is dancing in the streets celebrating being 7-3 after 10 rounds.....didnt realise that guaranteed a flag....

[Tonycam*]

Bombers not safe yet , still he is doing fine at the moment . If we keep going he would have to be safe and gotten himself out of jail (Like Paris).

[Metallica_Man]

Bomber is going along nicely at the moment, lets hope he keeps it up, there are plenty of people looking for coaching positions and now there are other teams ahead of us in the process of looking for a new coach
