100% agree. I think the Latrell situation had a few moving parts to it, but considering he's signed at Soufs for less than half what the Tigpies were allegedly offering, that probably tells you something.I understand it's hard for them to attract players, but they do it to themselves.. no serious marquee player is going to see them as attractive because they know they will be in a team who spends a huge chunk of its cap on fringe players or has beens.. that's what I believe our board is trying to avoid.. just because we've been at the bottom for a few years does not mean it's desperation stations and I believe the team we have currently will get us back into the 8 this year, and then we can unleash the so called "war chest"
They've been a basket case in both management and coaching for more than 10 years. At one stage they were paying 3 ex-coaches in Sheens, Potter and Taylor.
That said, Madge is a good even though hard-arsed coach and he'll get a few off-side as it seems happened with Matterson, but he will likely attract some decent players as well as soon as the mess from Cleary's 'bus' is cleaned up - which includes Reynolds and Mbye.
Maybe then they can start aiming for the Top 8 and not Top 9 as long as it's not at our expense!
