There's almost unanimous agreement that our forwards are not good enough and also other areas too. We have players who have survived 2 coaches already. When we stop blaming a coach for players not being good enough ?
I don't think that the club have wrote this season off but are happy to use it to get Powell's style embedded into the club rather than players as 16 are out of contract and I think this is the window for Powell to make the changes and redistribute the cap better.
Looking through the list of ooc players at the end of the year, we have 16 and there's only a few I would want to hold onto. Even some of those would be on reduced terms. So theres possibly big changes coming and s lot of cap space available.
Today was going to be extra tough with players missing and we won't win every game but for this season I will not be blaming Powell for performances we've seen since the last 2 seasons under Smith !!! When we're changing coaches and not seeing changesin performance it's the players that are the problem. I personally would be disappointed to see less than 8 players leaving at the end of the year.
