I think it was a 7 season all up before the hook crisis.
There was some good player development, but not consistent or as evenly spread as hoped.
Teams like Souths you see most players getting better and better as the season wears on even though they are carrying more injuries.
I don’t have the books handy but I think recruitment might have been stronger. I appreciate the massive talent in the catchment but at the same time, it’s good to choose your imports wisely.
Maloney was a good buy but as with benji and the next immortal, the older talented players start to have more ordinary games than they used to. Like a slow decline. A couple of exceptions here and there. But generally on a slide.
I liked frogs point that Gus may be inclined to avoid looking foolish at the clubs expense and the hook thing has exposed that. He might gamble that we have short memories, but when hook was signed Gus said he was the greatest coach in the world. He was gushing with praise. None of that was put to him during the recent crisis and he was careful about his wording during the Ivan approach. So it’s very political and all spin.
League is such an animal.
I am not sure cirro can take the club to the next level. Beyond that the planning is in Gus’s fancy and sadly, nobody else’s.
I think the post gus/roger era may be the best. Awesome club but needs officials talent.
