Your correct I have no idea what is going on at the club. However like you I see the outcome. These outcomes have been lacking in perceived long term thinking.

You mentioned the downward spiral of negativity....... So clearly others feel the same way.

Not sure if quote "experienced staff....Fitzy, Long" have an input? I hope they dont when it comes to long term player planning.

I just see other teams making vastly superior decisions and getting better while we just appear " from the outside" to continually make the same mistakes.

I only post and vent my frustration because I care. It's backing and turning up and seeing the fruit of the poor decisions that makes it frustrating.

unbelievable

In general I'm very with the club at the minute.

off the field we are looking in as good a shape as we've ever been in.
the retail side is doing excellent
we are the 1st ruggy club to launch an academy
we are no longer in debt


on the field.
we've just about got rid off the players who continually let the club down
we've finished 6th which i was happpy with
very happy with our quota players
The club have managed to get an extra quota place but havent got a large amount left on the cap so they have gone to great lengths to make sure we get some cover in the halves for next season. Surely that can only be a good move?



Granted i'm not sure about the coach but I dont accept the club make continual poor decisions.

do you mean in general or just whilst writing your initial post??

you were quick there sheldon

Well said.
I think we'll improve next year just by having Long and Horne fit more often. If we get them on the pitch together 15-20 times next season (only 60%+) we'll look a lot better. I'm not as concerned by Long's injuries as i am by Horne's. Longs dislocated elbow was a freak accident as was him turning his ankle against Wire, other than that he would of played 20+ games this year. Horne is really worrying, lots of niggly muscle/ligament injuries from non contact activities.

didnt you know wilf that they are backing up at the airport in Sydney to come to SL!!!
and Kyle eastmond is begging his directors to let him leave cos we need a half back

well said Easty, i think next year just to have those two fit for a lump of the season together will seem like having two new players on the rosta anyway , what ever the numpties say SL is still one of the best SH in SL when fit and when on form possibly still the best , i agree with the worries about RH but i also think he has been unlucky too in many respects and will have a point to prove next year between them....
It makes perfect sense to get a cover half with a different view on the game so he may bring even more to our party with new ideas and methods which can only be good for us cant it!!!

It's a no brainer, use the spot for a year, having someone like Rovelli here can't do anything but improve us and give us more options/cover plus a few new ideas/thought processess.

Eh don't forget Thorman...... Most of the time sh*t
