It was clearly on the cards for a while, with Barrett and Wilson trouting about it for a while now.

Still, poor Stuey. I’ve always found it pretty rough how they just pull the pin on coaches like that. On Friday you go to work. On Monday you don’t. That’s gotta hurt.

I feel for Dew here and I hope he picks up another coaching role down the track, if that's what he wants to do. From the club perspective it just seems like someone else is needed to take them to the next level. The list is good enough and they show glimpses. But they just can't put it together when it counts.
