All credibility was lost when you put hard running 2nd row and Cox in the same sentence.

Are things so bad you would consider playing corpses?

Some rum characters in there also, but I suppose in comparison it's an upgrade on the evil monsters you have now.

I'm considering an approach for Andrew Lincoln to coach the team.

Oh I forgot to mention Craig Hall, a kicker a , stand off and a winger. we could do with him in our squad right now.

Cox played well at second row when he was played there.

At least stans post was realistic, this on the other hand is so ridiculous its stopped being funny.

Ouch.

True, but ouch all the same.

I was maybe being flippant with my last post but Craig Hall can't get in a team in front of Miller who is probably the worst half back to ever play in SL. He was average to poor for us before and has gone backwards at Wakey

Excellent post and one that gets to the heart of the objective of starting this topic. Cheers

No it's not, it's just stating the bleeding obvious. We all know we are turd, it's how to sort it that's the debate. Posts that involve " get rid of" followed by a massive list of (contracted) players are devoid of sense and show an ignorance of sporting contractual reality.

Despite the on-field drift over the last few years and the horribly rapid regression of recent months, there's still something to build on - assuming we can dodge the drop. I don't want to have another massive turnover of players, even if it was feasible.

Sprinkle some healthy quality and a bit of physicality in amongst some of the solid players. Have an orthodox preseason. Hypothetically tearing it all up offers a brief catharsis, but mainly I think we need to be more hard nosed and rational.

I'd like to think the club know this and have a plan. the point of these forums is for fans to debate ideas and (where necessary) vent.
Nothing what is said on here will make an iota of difference to the club, wether thats team selection, recruitment,choice of new coach or boardroom issues. but people like to discuss these things, it's human nature.

We are poo and it is stating the obvious. There are questions that need answers before anything can be fixed.
We all know Rovers don't have the cash to pay off inadequate/injured players who are on long term contracts and so we will be stuck with some players who are simply not good enough.

1. Who is out of contract at the end of the season?
2. Do the club wish to retain the services of players coming off contract?
3. Can each player coming off contract be replaced with someone of better quality?

IIRC i think Sio, Kelly & Blair are in the final season of their contracts, thats 3 quota spaces and i would imagine a sizeable chunk of cap.
I think Tilse has another year, Charlie is on a rolling contract which will automatically be extended if he reaches a certain amount of games (15?).
Campese signed an extension last year as did Lunt.

Massively disagree with you here, Stan.

Something is wrong with our team, our players, our club, our culture, our vision, our on-field strategy at the moment.

Despite some inane posts, some that state the obvious and some hypothetical reasoning, there is always an underlying mix of well intentioned subjective and objective realism and rational debate from our esteemed collective.

We need to make some difficult contractual decisions as a club in the coming months. I would hope the club may get some wind of the majority sentiments expressed on here and react accordingly. If not, the downward spiral won't end anytime soon. Hope springs eternal.
