Yes, that's where I'm at. I like the calmness and the toughness he seems to have instilled in the team. But I do think they need to look at the assistant coaches, especially around the forwards. Our best 8 are a high-quality group, but they don't seem to be great in scrum or maul. The lineout is good, and their attacking breakdown work has improved - somewhat.I wouldn't be disappointed if he was re-signed. Have I thought about other coaches? Yep.
I know he is in charge of picking the side so it does fall back onto him but the attacking shape has also been dominated by Jake Gordon who before the last 3 weeks has looked like a busted ass for two years.
I think the pack is slowly coming together to being a dominant group. No side has had good attacking shape when the pack has been going backwards.
I wonder if the Tahs have struggled with recruitment of forwards because, with Laurie Fisher, the Brumbies were always able to make a better offer to young forwards who wanted to improve?
