PT. I said the coach had jumped ship. How I and others rate him is another issue. That’s not a normal event during a season. Being asked to leave is a different issue. Actually, if he was attack coach, we may be better off, similarly if he was defensive coach, it just doesn’t look good at any level the way it happened.
I agree, I do think Mash is on a hiding to nothing.

But he didn't jump ship mid season. As has been said a couple of times, he got a contract for next season, we talked with Fev and agreed to let him go now.
That's not the same as jumping ship.

Abuse!

I haven’t validated the abuse of anyone, I merely said that as family you sometimes have to wear criticism on the chin, you can’t just accept the praise!

I actually saw BLM last night before the game.

Although they have been talking that is it.

One thing he did say though us that he felt the coaching, and in particular, that of a couple of year’s back when Chester sent him out on loan, set him back, and feels it wrecked his career somewhat.

I got the impression that he doesn't want him to leave, but at the same time, wouldn't blame him if he did

A season where we recorded a 5th place finish, beating the likes of St Helens, Wigan and Catalans where we had a prime Tinirau Arona (29) and Justin Horo (31) featuring in the position Crowther will have been aiming to play at the time.

Unfortunately for him the club/coaching set up made the correct decision at the time not to play a 21 year old up and comer over two NRL seasoned players.

We're five years on and I'm sure their presence, experience and guidance will have benefited Crowther more than he knows.

I agree to be honest.
I understand a father's view on that season and we don't actually know how Chester spoke to him but if Crowther Jnr is hanging on to that for the reason for no progress then he's hurting himself. Looking at him play and how people talk about him I doubt its the case.

He needs to find a way to improve his attack, even just 10%. It's purely technique. When he hits someone in the tackle they stop dead. It clearly hurts. But when he has the ball in his hand he hits the tackle and is also stopped dead. He always has the lowest gain in metres. It isn't strength or effort. He's either running at people instead of gaps too much with an upright frame or he needs to adjust his footwork to allow for post contact metres.

I don’t see him stopping people dead though in the tackle. He makes a lot of tackles but like yesterday he gets bumped off a bit and leaks plenty of post contact meters.

He’s one that may come into bogus next late 20s imho.
