We have a horrible spine. Our 1, 6, 7, 9 would struggle to walk into many other teams.
We have no depth for the bench. We have been within a try in 8 games or so.
Not saying we should toot our horns and dance towards the rainbows. But even Batman couldn’t save the titanic.
I’m not saying pay is a brilliant coach, I actually never wanted him here. But you can’t blame the coach who had no input what’s so ever in team management and recruitment. No input in the roster (which is giving parra teams of the past a run for their money as the worst team to be hypothetically over the cap). We were a lame team last year and spent the money in the wrong areas.
We have made so many mistakes in terms of recruitment and pay is the scape goat. In all honesty Bellamy, Bennett, Arthur, heck even mourinho couldn’t improve a team like this.
Put it this way, our spine this week wouldn’t even be that dominant in intrust.....
Fact of the matter is we are rebuilding. But the reality is we spent so much money on players that would not be stars on other teams. That’s why we are in this position. Why woods, tolman, Eastwood, the morrises, Foran are eating up over 40% of our cap is absurd.
Like others have said you can’t polish a turd...... well we are a sewage treatment facility in the grand scheme of things.
Keep 3-4 core young players. Bring in the best juniors (18-22yo) looking for a shot. Bring in some hard nosed experienced players. And hope for a premiership window in 3-4 years when the team hits its prime.
