Haha.. I know, what was I thinking?!

I think we're pretty much on the same page here. It's all about the Grand Final really.

What's your take on him leaving? Remembering our dip in form when Wane announced he was leaving and having seen your performance on Saturday (which despite Magic Superbeetle's protestations wasn't very convincing) do you have any worries that it might derail your season?

Announced in the next 24 hours that he is leaving.

He's definitely gone. Was in the Aussie press today. I'm assuming the players already knew which might account for their sub-par performance on Saturday as the same thing happened to us after Wane's similar announcement last season.

It’s a shame he’s leaving as he’s done a terrific job but I don’t think it will mean anything this season, if anything I imagine it might help in the short term to get clarity so people can move on.

That's possible but I remember it's what we said around this time last year and quite the reverse happened. I guess a dip in form won't hurt you too much as long as it doesn't coincide with the important games at the end of the season but a tailspin isn't always easy to get out of. Interesting to see how the players respond over the next couple of weeks.
