Quote: The Dentist Wilf "Great news now its confirmed although nothing from the club so far but another good move from Myler, we all know just by sitting in the stands that Balmforth is a great prospect. The way that things change with quota spots and such developments as that unfolding now with the guy from PNG show what a state of flux we are in at present as we strive to get the best mix for next year and some on here should hold their horses a bit whilst the full picture of all signings made and all quota spots filled is completed. But, as I've said from the moment his move was confirmed how much easier it would have been if we'd just kept Sneyd and built around him. Personally as a guy who wants a team to support until I expire I'd still like some indication of developments on getting conformation of investment and additional involvement at the top, however the best news for me is that 'Cartwright is in daily touch with the Club' . Can't wait to get him here.'"
Would agree 100%, and think it shows that Myler (whatever any thoughts were as fans on his appointment) seems to be handling the rebuild/overhaul of the club pragmatically and sensibly. He also seems very conscientious and willing to speak with a discuss things with the people that matter but most importantly listen to them. It would also appear he isn't afraid to make the tough decisions that are and will be needed on the road to recovery for the club.
As a fan that has wobbled and wondered about walking due to the utter despair I have felt, I find it reassuring that in Cartwright we have a Coach who has been and still is heavily involved at the top of the Australian game and although he doesn't officially start yet he is already very much an active and involved party to the current transition.
On your point re Sneyd I don't think it would be a stretch to assume that the decision on Sneyd was probably made more out of financial reasons than anything. If AP was having to cut back then its probably fair to say we most likely couldn't have given Sneyd a lengthy deal or brought in the players to build around that were needed such were the financial constraints at the time or looming up.
I think right here and now its a time to feel genuinely hopeful for the future and be positive about the changes being made.
