Quote: XBrettKennyX "The reality of the situation is that I (we?) have incomplete information. We can speculate based on the evidence and our interpretation of it, but we will never be in as favourable a position as others at the club. As we gain more information it's natural to re-assess views and sometimes this results in a different one.
Given that it's also easy to post on here at times when emotions are high (isn't that part of being a fan?) it's should be no surprise that some of our posts appear to contradict each other or change over time.
Back on topic, would I give Wane a new contract? Again I have to say that I am not sure.
We need more creative halves and we need more variety in attack. Is this down to Wane coaching this "one size fits all" approach into the team or is it the best he can do with the personnel that he has been given by IL?
I am not privy to that question and therefore am not qualified to give you an answer.
One thing is for sure. Just as we relied on Faz for all those years, we currently rely on Sam. When he's gone (and imo he WILL be gone next year), we need another approach to breaking the line rather than the Lockers pivot, miss pass wide, Sam chiming in.'"
I'd agree with most of that. The one thing I would question is how deliberate any resting of players was. On several occasions the message "No, they really are injured" has gone out when yet another different line up has taken the field in a league game. My view is we can take that at face value and I don't go in for this idea at all that the club is so deliberately misleading in its statements. Hansen may be fresher this year at this time of the season than last but he is an example of a player who has played fewer games for what was definitely an injury not because he was rested. This applies to several other players as well. Also part of my reason for thinking this is I don't think playing different teams on a weekly basis is good preparation for a final and the fact we won doesn't prove it was. I don't think Wane will have wanted to do this.
