Quote: M@islebugs "POOP being the operative word. 2015 is a perfect example of not having a coach who refuses to play any half backs. Had we won the million pound game which we came quite close to despite staggering ineptitude, then it's impossible to say what would have happened. I'm not arguing for signing Ford but I am encouraged it's being discussed as it suggests an awareness that the 'status quo' is in many ways the least sustainable option.'"
I'm all for improving the team [iif we can afford it[/i. I think we're of the same opinion there. It's not Ford's playing ability I have a problem with. Are you proposing we sign players we can't afford?
As for 2015 I try not to think about it but us playing most of the season with one halfback and then picking Baille at hooker in the MPG not to mention spaffing thousands on a huge squad of mediocrity and downright crap like Lauaki makes me think that if we'd gone up we were only postponing a further meltdown. I remember Ferres literally telling me it was "poop or bust" and with that attitude running things we'd have ended up stuffed in the end - so not really impossible to say.
