More like THE results of Blacktown.😉
But on that, how much of what he does as coach is his planning or Des’s?
Jorge played in the centres, it seemed like they had a different halfback every second week, even Simona was named there once. I lost count of the times the named #7 played hooker and vice versa.
The guys that were 18-21 in the NRL squad rarely dropped back to reggies - eg Cust, Sipley, Suli, Funa etc but at one stage we had about nine of our Top 30 injured at the same time.
I’m not making excuses for him but interested to know how independently run Blacktown is.

His short time with the Jersey Flegg side was pretty ordinary too by my recollection

True, the numbers don’t lie.
And we all know “…it’s a results driven business”.
If Des is looking for an extra edge to win the comp. ,he needs to move on some older players and bring in the young ones next year to steer and lead the team to glory .

Our other British import of 1989, Bernard Dwyer, is still with us.
Thinking the same Sho1, you would think a player of Ballin's stature and standing within the club, are the ones you keep.
