People are obsessed with the past, and they look at it with rose tinted glasses. McRae offered less to this club than Kear but was fortunate he had a good relationship with the board so they let him go out and sign quality players without asking questions. The problem was he couldn't coach the players he had into a successful side. If Kear or Sharp had been given the same freedom as McRae we'd have been very successful.

I agree he was superb today because he played behind a winning pack although when his pack have been outplayed the reports still say hes a class act ,so off to Saints or Pies then ,we'd turn him into a hooker , sorry No 9

At least he signed quality players, have you seen some of the dross we've brought in since? Such as Kear's Tommy 'the next Keith Senior' Saxton.

That was my point, the board allowed him to do that. Whereas they haven't allowed it since.

I was under the impression that Kear chose his own players, he just didn't negotiate prices as McRae did. And it was at his own behest that the change was made.
