I haven't been on this forum long enough, but I bet if someone went back through we would see that Wallace was considered the saviour when the Anti-Geez (Frawley) was finally dumped.
Now Hardwick is the saviour and Wallace is.......well Frawley. I'm not a Wallace fan (though I was in the early years of his time at RFC) by any stretch but I'm certainly going to hang off jumping on any "Hardwick the Hero" band wagon until he's proven himself as the head coach in premiership rounds against quality opposition.
He doesn't have to win, but give us something tangible to believe in. He may not be giving us spin like TW, but he hasn't actually given us anything yet either......
P.S. Terry's spin brought 30,000+ members on board last year, and I'm not saying it's Hardwick's fault we didn't break 30K this year (in fact it's more likely a fault of TW) but he still got people excited about the club, our prospects and our future.
