Can a player coach be successful
Up until this week i thought the concept of a player coach in professional sports was dead. Can Heal (or any other ball player in the country) successfully handle both roles.
In my opinion very doubtful.
I remember having a conversion with Dean Kinsmen a long time ago about this. He said when he had this role with Sturt in the 80s he was physically as fit as he had ever been but still found the dual roles demading. Felt he couldnt do justice to both. Am sure he didn't have the support network(Ninnis/Molloy). I think the Dragons have made a very unwise decision.
