Let's face it AP and Gentle and McRae knew what needed to be done. One of the main reasons we needed McRae was to act as PR but regardless of what's happening in the dressing room or on the field we're all left in the usual state of anxiety due to over expectaton , poor performance , controversy , loose canon players ( and their wives ) , more injuries than seem fair , high penalty counts , poor discipline , apparent unrest , lack of concentration etc etc. Now whether these things are real or perceived surely it was McRae's job , and that of his team and Pearson to some degree , to manage them? I expected upheaval and wanted change but there is a danger at the moment that doing the very thing that was/is necessary is actually turning fans off. I think we need a statement from Adam to reassure everyone that the stuff we're seeing is part of a plan or at least expected fallout and that we're still on track or will not let the distractions affect the plan and will get back on track. Simply for a rookie management team to say trust us whilst these thimngs are happening is asking too much in my view and needs at least some sort of response justr to keep some interest in our remaining games this year .
