Re: have your say on Ross Lyons
Given that GT had been dismissed, I think RL is a great choice.
That is based purely on other peoples descriptions of him and what I have read.
None of us were at the interviews, none of saw the psyche tests, nor were even aware of what these tests were designed to find out.
We all know he played an important role at Sydney and that he has been part of the team that got them a premiership.
Despite the GT sacking, I do have faith in the club to find the right man for the job. Ross Lyon will do a great job.
My belief is that GT would probably have acieved a better result in 2007 than RL, but I have to accept that the club has acted in the best interest of our long term future. They are structuring the club in line with other successful clubs and they are getting the best personnel available to fill the positions vacated by GT and his assistants.
It may take only a year or two for Ross to catch up to where GT was (in terms of his knowledge of the players, the strength of their relationships, the ability to motivate and get the best out of them, and the knowledge of their weaknesses as well).
