It’s getting harder and harder to keep the interest up - outstandingly poor results and expected to have blind faith in the future being bright. So much potential a few years ago, now?
Exactly right; There is faith alone. Faith being - Reasoning without evidence. Therefore, is next year going to be anything different next year? Evidence says no. When Grix took over, we were more than in contention for the playoffs but we have gone backwards, no doubt. He hasn't been able to galvanise the team consistently. There is more than enough talent and experience in that team to be in the 5 but not so much as a whimper. I said when Grix was appointed that he needed an experienced assistant at the very least. I don't doubt his acumen or his commitment but there are reasons why prospective coaches spend time learning as assistants. I really hope that he can turn it around but the pessimist in me says that we will struggle to attract a calibre of player with clubs around us that are arguably more attractive right now (Leigh, York, Widnes, Bulls, whoever is relegated from SL, even Sheffield) (not including DR merchants at Fev). It depends how long we are willing to accept the status quo. Not since the last season in SL have we been on a run of defeats like this. Granted, the team we have is ending a cycle but we are in situation now where we are having to overhaul probably more vigorously given this year's calamity.
