Mixed feelings about him. I think he was led down the garden path by Tony and trusted his judgement wholeheartedly which has come to bite us in the backside massively.
Before then, employing Clarke to do Motu’s job was an awful piece of business, which ultimately began the downfall since 2017.
There’s no doubt running the club through Covid was a hard task and I do believe he did what he could to keep us afloat (Grand Final at KC will have surely brought revenue, for example), which again rightly or wrongly meant cost saving. But, we are reaping what we sow now and are bottom of the league because of cheap options and very bad pieces of buisiness - ultimately very poor recruitment and retention.
I’m glad he took action early this year, getting rid of Tony and Stan and bringing in a DoR, along with realising he (and we) need new investment. From what I’ve heard he will be a minority stakeholder until eventually being fully bought out.
