My summary of Coggan's comments of where the senior game is heading:
- Youth development will see to better senior standards... in 7-10 years
- Some senior coaches don't give a flying fox about youth development
- Most senior coaches don't even have their badges!
- Senior coaches are getting older - and likely employing methodologies taught to them in the 70s? 80s?
- The goal for the federation is O league or Chatham Cup glory
- better facilities will make better players
Is "we don't know what we're doing" a reasonable out-take?
Needless panic
