In the midst of pre season I expected us to lose our first 3 games of the season with this Fridays game v Toronto being our best chance of a win....

I did not expect to be demanding to play a championship winger in a key position to give us an attacking edge...

I did not expect to see a dreadfully weak pack...and last minute signings like leilani latu

Each season seems to get more desperate.....despite a sprinkling of finals....

I really have no idea the direction the club is going....

I'm not agreeing with anyone who starts dissing Kelly shelford!!

....as a thought I'm trying to imagine our team now if we had Kelly Shelford and Sandow at half backs...and Richard Henari on the wing while I'm at it.

where would Appo fit in....I suppose the other wing, or fullback

Yeah fb

I think this thread is drifting towards the one we experienced just prior to TS's departure. Perhaps I can make a few suggestions;

If you are going to make a point, please back it up with reasons and facts. Simply saying "X is rubbish" doesn't encourage any sort of civilised debate and will wind up anyone who holds the opposite view. Wires 1967 earlier in this thread made a well reasoned post and is a good example to all of us.

You will find some posters simply have to have the last word because they know they are correct (my wife for instance). So if you have made a well thought out point, why not just ignore the reply that you know is coming. Sometimes silence speaks louder than words.

Avoid making the same or very similar point across multiple threads. This is 'derailing' and will certainly wind up plenty of people who want to get on and discuss the original thread topic.

Avoid abuse. This is a big no no in the AUP and you are risking a ban. Abuse can also be suggested or implied by those with an inventive mind, but if the moderators interpret it as such, there will still be a ban.

I am now going to lock this thread. Anybody is very welcome to start a new Price thread and in doing so perhaps we can make a fresh start.
