We have to stop accepting mediocrity.... : Sat Jul 09, 2022 7:10 pm
Or accept our fate is relegation. We are soft everywhere you look.That squad today was bang average.
We sign deadwood that nobody else wants in hope we will play a blinder. Well our luck is out. We have pure trash or those that have worked (i.e. Hall) we have been very fortunate.
Our only mid season signing for a while was Rob Butler. What an absolute waste of resource that was. I'm sorry but he's ineffective and actually fat. How this player has played for England is completely beyond me. We have just signed Bowden too. I cannot comment on this one. But would it have not been better to show some ambition and get in for the former State of Origin player that went to Toulouse? OK we only sign 1 player instead of Butler and Bowden. But it surely makes the rest of the league take note. And sends a warning sign. And brings in some quality.
Why the fafita worship amongst the fans? Another one who is paid a handsome salary to be a "professional" sportsman. He's a liability. Overweight for at least 3 seasons and no one has stopped and said "sorry dave unless you get fitter you won't play".
Bill Toupu was brilliant. But shouldn't we have taken a more calculated approach here ie. At the start of the year asking him to retire then? Or after 1/2 season ask then. Or say Bill its your final year you're not going to get anywhere near fit enough to play, let's cone to an agreement?
We have no spine and until we start making better ambitious decisions we'll continue to suffer
