over the last few years, with the exception of Lance, he has made some clever moves with acquiring the services of Murray, Smith, Bluey but the McDermott/Lowes selection is bewildering to say the least. I acknowledge he has taken over the reins a season before what was anticipated but that is no excuse.

The blunder he made was not going for Nathan Brown when his move to Australia fell through,

Like with the signings we made this year, they do smack of "The cheap option".

The recession has hit GH hard.

Has Hetherington made a managerial blunder?

No.

Why?

Because McDermott is the only coach Hetherington could find who would be prepared to blindly adopt his call for a more attractive style of rugby.

Hetherington has done exactly what was required for next season - lower crowds, he is concerned about low season ticket sales this year!!

This (I cant remember the exact term but Keith Knows) free flowing entertaining rugby we are being treated to is not really what I want to be watching. I can appreciate attacking rugby but the decision making at the moment is terrible

If he has he can be forgiven. He has made some magnificent choices over the past decade. Just rectify the mistake as soon as fit.

it time to go for noble

no

Lance isn't the exception, because the appointment of Powell also counts as a blunder in my book. Others may disagree.

Would not be in agreement with that.
