Quote: Uncle Rico "I agree about Wheeler and sentiment. However, I don't think that a major clear out, whilst exciting and perhaps justifiable given our performance levels over the last two seasons is necessarily a good thing.
Great teams IMO win and win continually over long periods because of succession planning and strategy. Build a great team with a range of age and experience and bring in 3 or 4 new bodies into the squad every season whether that's club trained or bought to freshen things up, or continue with or add quality.
We are where we are and perhaps it's needed, but, we hung on too long with our 'great team' gambled they would win it. we didn't and we're still suffering because of it.'"
I'm not disagreeing with you UR but I will point out Cas and KR both on successive years have made a CC final from points of having near zero playing personnel after decades of no finals whatsoever...!
I think it's excepted both clubs had successful seasons....
However, had Warrington made the CC final, would we be considering it a successful season?
Personally I think it would be little more than spraying Fabreeze on a turd. I think deep down the best thing that happened to Wire all season was that thrashing at Headingly.
