I don't think we can question many of the results under DR. Okay, we did lose at Donny and Sheffield unexpextedly, but in the whole results haven't been too bad.
The biggest problem is the manner in which results have been gained. There seems to be no game plan at all. How many games have Haven performed with any type of flowing rugby? You'll be lucky to count it on one finger, never mind one hand.
This is where the problem with DR lies and why fans are not coming back. You can blame ageing players, but the key players (the playmakers) are not ageing, with the exception of Aaron. Even without him, there should've been enough ability to play attractive flowing rugby league, but it hasn't occured.
DR arrived with the promise of a more expansive game which never happened and that it what has let him down more than anything else. Whether that is down to his man management is open to discussion, but at the end of the day, he never fulfilled his promise. It remains to be seen if he can do a job elsewhere and prove the majority of fans wrong.
Player power has at times been a problem at Haven, but it up to the coach to sort that out. The new coach will start afresh with many of the so called old heads gone, so that shouldn't be so much of a problem. It about respect for the player from the coach and vice versa.
TIME WILL TELL.
Let's hope the fans who have deserted us return next year.
