He pretty much sums up the current and past situations, we are inconsistent!
Strip Miller, Tupou, Fifita, Arona, Batchelor & Johnstone from that inconsistent team and you have a massive task to fill their roles within the team let alone improve it.

Aside from that, I think the tactic of waiting to see what the World Cup unearths, if that is what we’re doing, is a huge gamble. Almost all of the Pacific Nations players will be contracted to NRL clubs and the pickings from PNG, Cook Islands and Fiji will be very slim indeed.

It's not what he says it's the timing, surely a few weeks for Applegarth to do something would have been polite. So no I don't agree, it's deliberate undermining of the club, he's done it for years and he doesn't do it to other teams IMHO. Is there an article on Hull or HKR? Have they not been inconsistent? No, it's always us, it's cheap.

Mash has a tough job, maybe the toughest in SL at the moment and part of that starts with recruitment of players and staff.

I actually think Garry is becoming less of a character of himself these days. I deal with him occasionally with work and he certainly seems to be calming down a bit.

His younger post playing persona is always going to go against him though for some of his views and controversial statements.
