Tbh he didn't really screw them over. The club needed a massive overhaul and the players he said could move on aren't really up for first grade. It also shows how shit Parra are as a club for a coach to want to walk out of there after 1 season.
In my opinion I think he screwed them over blazza... He went on and on at the start of the year about needing to go through a rebuilding phase. Asking fans to stick by the team and expect more 40+ point hidings this year but things will get better... Blah, blah.
Not to mention a number of Parra players now have escape clauses in their contracts that they are free to take up (Hayne and Hoppa most noticibly).
If you are a builder and you agree to do a knock down rebuild, you can't just knock the house down then walk away. He didn't even finish cleaning the building site!
Poor form to tell a bunch of blokes they aren't in his plans for the club then he walks before they even get the chance to.

Yea that's a fair call. I was only looking at it from a cutting players POV. It really is just a terrible spot right now at Parra. A lot of problems on and off the field. I don't know how they're going to sell the place to a new coach.
Luckily for Parra there are so many axed coaches and up and coming assistants that will jump at any opportunity to coach first grade...
Neil Henry is being touted as the likely replacement but there are a lot of others out there. Whoever takes them on has a big job... It is a risky coaching job. Parra in general has been like that for years.
They really need to fix there board issues as a matter of priority.
