"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence"

Canterbury simply do not have the right players in key positions to execute a more flamboyant style of play in attack. I actually believe Des is coaching more than competently. The current squad, in particular, their spine is simply not capable. Additionally, Des is not going to come out in the media and verbally question the abilities of his players. Des has implemented a game plan which provides his team, based on their abilities, the best chance of winning football games. Whilst it has not translated to positive on-field performances, he is not going to turn around bow to the demands of armchair critics. Quality coaches never do.

I think it is rather presumptuous to classify Foran as simply “damaged”. He is only 27 years of age. Hardly past it for half. His achievements dwarf most other NRL halves running around. Most of these achievements were obtained whilst being coached by Des. I think judgement on Foran should be reserved until we see how he performs under the tutelage of Des Hasler next year.

Hi Matt – yes you are correct. However, in the past 24 seasons they have won two premierships (1995 & 2004).
