Former NRL head coach defends under

Chimera readability score 81 out of 100, Specialist reading level.

Renowned rugby league consultant and former NRL head coach Matt Elliot has strongly defended under-fire SP PNG Hunters coach Paul Aiton, urging passionate fans to understand that a massive talent drain, not coaching, is behind the team's recent slump.
Responding to growing public calls from fans demanding the replacement of Aiton and several players after recent heavy defeats, Elliot labeled the backlash as reactionary. He revealed that the team's struggles are the predictable result of losing 10 of their premier starting players during the pre-season, including a staggering seven top-tier athletes whom the London Broncos signed.
