Quote: Ayres Rock "Well said caslad75. I think the problem is that with the 'names' we have signed the last couple of years, the one's coming in are somewhat seen as not being as good. Coupled with the restrictions placed on the club with the salary cap, which goes hand in hand with supporters choosing not to attend, I actually think the squad being put together is looking pretty useful TBF. Sure we are light in certain areas but as the season is still a good 8 weeks away from the first friendlies, I am not too concerned at this moment so think this team will surprise a few of even our supporters this year.
I also think it's early days with the season tickets and a better yard stick to measure it will be by the end of the year going in to January where most will have got it sorted.'"
You don't need the big names. What you do need is a coach than can build a squad that will run through brick walls for each other and keep them as a tight unit. Daryl Powell has worked wonders with our squad without any big names and I'm sure Sheens will be able to do the same. Yes, big names can help bring in new supporters, but that shouldn't effect true fans of the club renewing. How far have the big names got you in the past? Nowhere! How far can Sheens take a group of players that want to play for the club and each other? A lot further is my guess. To be fair, Carney and Vidot are as exciting a prospect to see running on the wings than any partnership I can think of in SL as long as you can get the ball out to them.
