Agree totally, would love to see Bomber still do the Press conferences though, he's totally brilliant at it..The bottom line regarding Hird and Thompson... why not have both?!!
I think it was working beautifully with Hird as senior coach and Thompson as the 'mentor' or 'head of coaching development'.. I sincerely hope they go back to that next year.. and personally I think they will without a hassle.
If anything it will be better because Thompson will have built so much more rapport with the players.. so he will be able to get even more involved (as apparently previously he was a bit more 'hands off')...
Whichever way you look at it, other than the complete bullshit that is ASADA, these two men have rebuilt our footy club from the ground up and I am LOVING the results. I really can see hope for the future but of course the real test will come in Rounds 14-23.. that is when we will know if we have truly developed or just stagnated. Need to keep this level of play deeper and deeper into seasons.. Premiership in the next three years (if not all 3!)
