Leigh Matthews has cleverly retired from the Lions coaching job with one year remaining on his contract.
He knew his time was up and wanted to get out a year early, rather than a year late. John Howard should have been that smart.
Lethal is a great coach and deserved to select the time of his departure.
It’s great that captain Jonathan Brown re-signed for another four years. The Lions have a solid base of talented players to build from next year and should play finals if they can discover some consistency.
