I get what you're all saying. 1) all fingerers are pointing to AW for recruitment, game plan and bench selection and use 2) giving us all hope in 2023 that he was our saviour, that all we needed was the right coach - his secret sauce, the secret ingredient, that was all we needed since 1995 was
Andrew Webster (his man management and his rugby league IQ and we would start winning!!! i BELIEVED!!!! ok lets be reasonable and put on our man brains on, now, think logically, what is the missing ingredient, we just don't have the cattle to do the job, as everyone so rightly points out developing players from lower grades is a must and recruiting the right players to our club 3) of course AW is going to shape his team to reflect his time at Penrith, Ivan had a hard time trying to get the team he wanted and it took years before he got the winning formulae. so...I think Webby needs time in the saddle first to recruit who he really wants in his squad, time for to develop players from lower grade etc we have to think long term here, no matter who coaches the warriors (bellyache, clint eastwood etc) they wont get wins right off the bat, 223 was an anomaly, this is reality, Webby needs time, don't forget, think with your man-brain, not joking, did I really think in 1995 the warriors would actually win enough games (in the toughest competition in the whole world) and make the top 8 or 4??? yes I did (dumbass).
Andrew Webster is a baby as a coach in the nrl compared to all the other coaches. I am no longer immature (debatable) , of course he will make mistakes and we'll lose some games, got to ask yourself is this due to the coach or the players. apologies for the long rant, can't wait for round2 as the saying goes up the wahs!
