Tony is a nice bloke until you disagree with him but I feel he is a tad out of touch with the the modern ways of Rugby League.
Only time will tell.
Our club specifically has a problem with starting well then dropping off in the Summer though, something has been wrong with our approach for years now. From a Marketing perspective it better to win games at the end not the start, people forget the early season poor displays. The end of season horror shows linger all winter.
