This is exactly true. The right man for the job, but not the right time when it happened.

2015 we won the treble and three top players .leaders left and following year were were in a relegation season we were told the usual reasons etc for that bad season . 2017 we finished second by a long way and won a one off game which happened to be a the Grand final , then a few more players left ,leaders as well . The management just hoped for the best and this is where we are. By the way what was the purpose of GFs annual trips the Australia ?

Scouring the bartercard cup for bargains?

Fwiw, not everyone who left was a leader, but a good number were and I don't think their replacements have either been signed or worked out very well
