That would probably be the best outcome
Rubbish remarks about them both!
Do you never listen to players past &/or present who have played/worked with them both?
I know who I would sooner listen to & believe & it’s not the bloody amateurs on here I’ll tell you that!
That has nothing to do with it Josie, the fact is Lockers and Lulu do not have the relevant coaching experience no matter what any former player says
What do you mean it has nothing to do with it?? They both have fantastic rugby brains & just because they haven’t been coaching anywhere else other than here, doesn’t make their skill set & experience irrelevant, they’ve both done all their coaching badges btw & Lockers has done strength & conditioning as well!

Being a good practitioner does not mean you are a good manager. That’s true in any job.
Just how many former players in many different sports have you seen fail as a coach?
As to having coaching badges, good grief I am sure Kieran Cunningham had the full set. What is he up to today?

Really like Peet as coach. He’ll get better and better.
Loved his comment about Dupree - “I don’t want him to fit in, I want him to stand out”

I really like him as a person. He seems genuine and honest.
I still feel that he took the "top job" too soon in his career. I don't blame him for it, but it never should have been offered to him at that stage.
You never know. He seems intelligent enough, maybe he's a quick learner?
But, imo, he would have benefited greatly from another 3 -5 years under an experienced coach.

I have faith in the present coaching team. We’ve hardly done badly. Matty Peet’s philosophy and approach to the game is admirable. The whole club is involved. It will take time to come to fruition.
Admittedly they need a pack that can force the game. This looks as though it’s on it’s way.

Well said.!! Nothing wrong with critical discussions on a forum, but for some it’s win 40-0 every week or we’re crap.
I’ve been critical myself. The pack, hooker, etc. but looking at the signings we’ve made up to now for next year, some of these are being addressed.
At least give some credit when it’s due.
