Our winning run of 4 games?
You can’t read anything in to 4 wins.
You can read plenty in 4 wins, particularly 4 in a row.
Attitude and effort being the main things.

10:shit games in a row means cleaning out half our squad.
No one over here will take them
Though
I’m not saying he wants to leave immediately or anything.
I just think the fact he put it out there and then deleted it means there’s a fair bit of emotion involved here. You’re right, he probably didn’t want to upset the club.
True and I’d be happy for most of them to be granted releases the same as Waqa.
So next season rolls around, same thing happens again. Clear them out once again?
Not sure this is a good strategy. Sometimes you need to work through the tough times, not just panic.
But supposedly Whare is on a reasonable contract. If he is, he shouldn’t be too hard to move.
Just the ones that ask for realises. I’m not saying we should be clearing guys out for going through a rough patch of form, but if there is an underperforming, unhappy squad sometimes it’s for the best.
Depends on whether you've got the right coach to work through those times.So next season rolls around, same thing happens again. Clear them out once again?

Cause you wouldn't clear enough room to improve the squad
I actually think you could improve the squad with Whare’s money. He offers so little in attack that there would be several other options out there better, even options within the club.
Depends on what you want. If you want Peachey and say a decent prop you can't. Just Peachey for Whare doesn't do much
Any player who doesn't miss half the season every season is an improvement on Whare
Peachey for Whare is a major upgrade for a team that has little in attack.
Dean Whare hasn’t had a good attacking season since 2014.
Yeah but if you can get 3 good players for losing DWZ and Blake the team is better off
WTF was Gus thinking handing out a five year deal to Dean Whare?! JFC
Five year contracts need to be banned by our club
He’s not off contract until the end of 2022! He’s slow now, imagine in 2022!
The problem is some club has to believe he will improve them.
