It's all good and well for Ricky to say he and his staff are going to be patient but that means SFA unless those that determine his job security are patient as well.
Ricky has just voiced what we all knew and that is that our roster is simply not good enough but that those 17 who took the field are the best we have right now. What happens if they don't sign anyone better or if those coming through don't make the grade? Will everyone be patient until 2015? Based on the track record of those at the top there is unfortunately next to no chance of that happening.
Let's hope we miraculously secure the cattle we need before the year is out.

Ricky has shown his hand very early with this group of players by saying they're not good enough. He has to buy new players for next year. If the new players dont eventuate then he is going to be stuck in a very big hole for 2014.

Interesting to see who they can get.

There is no doubt that Norman and Hopoate will make a difference. I'm sure Stuart and Nolan are going all out to strengthen other areas of our roster and if they don't manage to pull it off by next year I hope we stick with them regardless.

we are about 3 big good forwards away from being competitive.

That was illustrated last night, when my wife said as they ran on, they are twice as big as us. Then she pointed that Hargreaves carried Keating for about 10 metres, it is so obvious.

My old hobby horse, Rocket didnt like big players, wanted to sign skilful ones as they could pass both sides, give me a break, and DF kept him as he was a mate, go figure.

By the way don't believe the stats you see, Allgood is listed as 194 cm and 106 kgs, I was with him at a schools day, I am 190cm and 103 kgs and he not even my size (fitter by a mile though)
