There been plenty of discussion on this forum in recent weeks about our club , the Coach ,the Players ,The board of Directors , the ground and Uncle Tom Cobley and all .
First let me say that everyone is entitled to their opinion but that all it is opinion and what is an opinion one definition is as follows ? ?a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty?
So lets start talking about what we can prove and what is certain .
Re The Coach
Let me put my opinion here ? a coach is paid to get the best results from the team and as far as I can see DR has done all that could be asked of him in this repect . Maybe we haven?t played fantastically well at times , but remember a coach called Kevin Tamati , his teams played some fantastic rugby and scored some great trys but couldn?t win games or not enough of them when it mattered and he more than anyone nearly brought the club to its knees in 2000 . What would you rather have playing great football or winning ?take your pick but I know which I would choose .
In truth the team is probably going to finish third this season ? I don?t think anyone could have asked for any better at the start of the season so the coach has delivered on what was asked of him
Well Dave Rotheram certainly has his critics , plenty of people on here have Little or no time for him and would be happy to see the back of him . Well he certainly isn?t perfect and has made mistakes ? but hey what about Steve McCormack or Paul Cullen they didn?t get it right first time very time ? there was fallouts , disputes and bad results when these guys were here ? but distance does lend enchantment and some Haven Fans certainly suffer from that .
That s not to say mistakes haven?t been made the Lester and Seeds situation was most regretable and should have been better handled , but the different reaction of the two players in question should be noted
Change for Change sake can be most destructive but that is what some supporters are calling for . What I would say to them is please name a coach who would improve things and why
