It's just 50 days since Pearson took over, and so far he's:
Organised a "root and branch" review of the club
Promised pass prices will come down
Binned off Agar
Brought in a DOR and probably the most sought-after NRL assistant Coach
Canvassed opinion and changed game day
Talked about bringing in a more professional relationship with our neighbours for mutual benefit
Incentivised a big attendance for the Warington game
Said the squad's not good enough and he'll pay fees to make the right signings.
Says he wants to fill the KC stadium
A few thoughts:
1) I don't think he could have actioned any more in just 50 days than he has.
2) A lot of this is just talk at this stage and we're a fair way off seeing the thing we all want, ie success on the pitch. However, what he has given us some decent evidence of is a precious commodity in sport and one the fans have been bereft of since 2007 - hope.
3) 50 days ago we were going into 2012 with Kath and Agar. The Pearson era might all go to hell, but at least next season [umight[/u see us step up at last, as opposed to entering it in certain knowledge of mediocrity and disappointment.
Wonder what the next 50 days will bring?
