I think Leo at RB has been the shining success story of our season. Much more than a makeshift. It's between him and Manny for the best RB in the club's history- hopefully he can continue to improve. And I don't think Siggie is done by any stretch of the imagination. We all wrote off McBreen, and he wasn't a first team regular at the Mariners until this year, but now is golden boot.
There hasn't been a settled first team, and the support and understanding between defence and midfield has been poor.
That said- if the owners are looking to go hunting for players with pedigree or skill like Daniel or Felipe in the first season, or Stein this season. Think Boyd and Fenton have been great, but would like to have only one of them starting because we had a better first team, which may be the case when Ifill returns.
I want Ricki to stay unless we can get someone who ticks all the boxes- is a better coach, is a better club man, and meets the no dicks policy. If it helped improved NZ coaching or was a pathway for a NZ coach to have a career that would be good. I think Ricki has earned the right to try and turn this around.
