(MERGED)Setu is at the Roosters

i think Stuarts a good a coach, just struggling with lack of talent. Morris and Barrett were fair signings. Filliga was a flop, but that couldnt have been foreseen. if the Sharks still had Bird and Kearney, things would be different and they'd be like us, battling away for the bottom of the eight.

We're talking about a guy who let Kimmorley and De Gois go and signed Barrett and Corey Hughes in return. Stuart is the worst coach at recruitment and retention in the NRL.

Sure, but that's a pretty blinkered view of proceedings. Dont forget Barrett was signed to play half, under the assumption that Greg Bird would be five-eighth. this would have given them a ballplaying five-eighth and a running halfback. Oof course it didn't quite work out, with Bird being axed by the club, necessitating Barrett to move to five-eighth and leaving a gaping hole at 7. The other factor is that Barrett came much cheaper than what Kimmorley was asking.

So it's not always as simple as it seems.
