Solomon only has one KPI…..make sure we end up with pick 1 in the draft.

Just hope he gets them playing with the same aggression he played with. If so, we won’t be easy beats. That’s all we want is competitiveness.

Quite the 18 months for Solly… from Director of a fitness and wellness enterprise, to EFC board member, to EFC assistant coach, to EFC head coach.

I remember a Port game at Marvel in 2001 where he took this massive mark and was crunched in the process he was bloody tough as nails

Solomon,Hardwick,Wellman,Fletcher,Dean Wallis what a backline tough and skillful

Will it? Between our injuries and the rumoured avoidance of Gresham’s rumoured trigger clause, is there even much flexibility?

Edit: I suppose what he does with Ridley…

Not sure who anyone else expected to get the gig….it was always going to be Solly after he was moved from the board to the assistant’s role.

Morris mentioned how Solomon only presented to the players twice maybe he was handcuffed now that he’s coach we might see a better defensive structher?

He won’t. Just because he was a good player in the 2000 premiership team doesn’t mean any of our players will play the same way.

Same deal with Hird. Just because he was a superstar, do we expect that the players he coaches will also be superstars?

Not sure Morris is right. McGrath said he’s been working closely with him all year.

Solly’s best contribution to the club from this point will be his 1 hour handover session with HIRD.
