i was prepared to give bevo the benefit of the doubt after 2017, then 2018 with injuries. 2019 atm is looking to be an even worse season.
however we cant ignore all the bad of-field stuff that's happened under his watch. far too much issues imo.
a lot of players have either regressed or remained stagnant under him. the on-field issues still remain (lack of forward pressure, 5th season and still no cohesive forward line, no trust in tall players, unbalanced teams).
i cant think of too many "good" coaches who miss out on playing finals for 3/4 seasons and turn it around.
id love for him to turn it around, i hope the club tries to help him out first (new assistants, director of coaching, etc) before the thought of sacking him.
Interesting call regarding the regressed players.
I don’t see many that aren’t better players now than what they were in 2014. That’s including the players traded in Suckers, Crozier. And then you have Biggs and Hamling who he turned from oppo fringe players to premiership players.
Who’s in your list of players that haven’t become better since 2014 ?
