Although its a good question on paper,it is a question which cant be answered in reality.Our fortune didnt change in one foul swoop.
We suffered when richie Barnett and jason smith left under mcrae.But we made the best of it adapted what was still a good squad and did o.k.Our rugby style changed when shaun left and We again suffered when certain players supposedly started dictating terms to kear,causing a bit of a crisis but again rallied and recovered (temporarily i stress)under Sharp.We then suffered with the loss of swain and then cookie leaving us now grasping at straws to keep a team playing consistent good rugby.
move forward to our current predicament and youve still got the bare bones of a good squad but without the aforementioned pivotal inspirational,creative players and ball playing ethos from the coach to make the magic happen on a regular basis.Add to that the joke that is our board and you dont to find a specific moment when our fortune changed,it has been happening before our eyes since however far back you choose to go!
It was when we replaced mcrae with a worse coach. they've got progressively worse since. Mcrae isn't a great coach but he's much better than what we've had since. Suppose they've all been cheap though

All three have had a hugely negative impact on our club imo. Biggest one on the pitch was Cooke leaving, we've looked a shadow of ourselves in attack since. He was also an on pitch Leader which Agar claims we are missing.
Mcrea also had the right players and they played with flair.

Swain, Kearney, Smith, Cooke, Barnett, Best, Logan, Carvell etc... I think you could also add players like Mcmenemy to that list
Lost too many quality players and leaders over the last few seasons and not replaced them with players of the same quality. Never replaced Swain as our leader and absolute champion player and when we find Radford as our replacement for Kearney, there have to be some questions asked about our recent recruitment.
THANK YOU Mr. PEARSON, FOR RIDDING US OF FCKWIT FUBAR, CEO TOOL AND THE STINKING UNCLE KATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY DON'T THE DOBBINS PLAY IN GREEN SHIRT, GREEN SHORTS AND GREEN SOCKS IN ORDER TO EXPRESS THEIR INFINITE ENVY OF EVERYTHING BLACK AND WHITE??
