Warriors would have to be the biggest flop this year IMO. From grand finalists to no hopers is a big turnaround.

WB biggest flop this year? --> Disagree. IMO Sandow for sure.
WB fail @ Knights this year? -->Agree but the term 'fail' might be harsh, but defs not overall successful. Some positives but overall as someone said even WB would probably admit he couldve handled a few things better. I think they will be better next year anyway.
To answer the thread
2012 biggest flop = Sandow.

Really....?
I thought that was one of the reasons given why the Broncs dropped off this year after SOO.
anyhoo.......

So the knights finished 12th. Bit of ammo for the "failure" argument.
Warriors definitely take the cake though I'd have to say after that last performance. You don't lose by 20 from 16 in front at half time. That's just incredible.

I can't think of any side since I've been watching league that has put up the white flag quite like this Warriors team.
Just goes to show what a bad coach can do to a club.

I wouldn't have thought so. First full year in first grade and replacing Darren Lockyer.
Yep. Massive flop, but I for one didn't expect much from him. He exceeded my expectations in the first half of the year, and was worse than I expected in the second half.
So all that balances out to be about what I expected from the nuffy.

They usually are, or at least there about. I don't really get it.

Yeah, we can always expect a few bumbles but they're been outright incompetent this year.

1: Parramatta and Chris Sandow
2: The refeeres
3: Demotion of Andrew Voss and the promotion of Ray Hadley
4: New Zealand Warriors runners-up to 14th
5: Newcastle, Wayne Bennett and Darius Boyd
On the topic of Newcastle. I was expecting them to improve on 8th from the 2011 season but I wasn't expecting them to win the premiership even if the bookies and experts had them as genuine contenders. I honestly feel for Rick Stone, he had a nothing team last year other than Uate, Mullen, De Gois and Gidley and got them to the finals playing good footy. Bennett bought and took the players he wanted and at times had them playing worse footy than Parramatta.
