I'm happy to say I am impressed with Roly. His game plan is copied by many. He is loyal in public to his players and backs them in and doesn't mind sharing a loss with some self criticism. His coaching panel has brought on players and he is happy to develop youth even though we have a well stocked cache in the waiting. He's been able to cover for injuries and we don't hear any negatives from the players and they don't appear to get into bad situations too often. Not only that we win games and close ones – in fact we expect to win tight games. In recent years he has added Tabs, Sheridan, Sutcliffe, Hannah, Neale, Crozier, Alex brought back Peace and helped make Walters a star and even 211 is playing better. Once in the team he gives his players every chance to develop and doesn't mess with their heads by moving them in and out too often. Though of course some movement is necessary – and sometimes for reasons we know nothing about. And for the first time in our history every player on the field, the bench and another 4 or 5 outside could come into the team and do a professional job. We can go tall or small, the players are tough, skilled and seem to know what to do and don't suffer too many injuries. Our only weakness this year has been the leveller of a greasy ball. And in a recent interview he explained that he has a minder who gives him feedback on his own performance. His team is not a perfect team but they are pretty bloody good and they can get better.
