Here is a chart showing where the Dragons ended on the ladder since the 2013 season.
Notice the "Viagra Effect" when Paul McGregor takes over. He gets the club into the 2015 semis, has a down moment then after another little blue pill goes on a ride to the semis again in 2018.
Eventually, with pharmaceutical help or not, one eventually is confronted with the limits of one's natural abilities and ending 2019 at 15th should mean a cab ride home for McGregor and Johnson and a trip to the clinic next day for the Dragons to get a shot.
I dabble in stocks and the chart formation pattern caused by the rapid drop of a whole order of magnitude from 7 to 15 is known as "The Spent Schlong".
Usually, the chart pattern suggests 14th on the ladder in 2020 and 13th in 2021 before the final Spoonage in 2022 BUT the Spent Schlong pattern means a couple of Spoons starting next season unless something drastic is done.
Lot's of things have been "spent" by this coaching and management regime to include:
- fan patience
- trust in institutions such as our so called sports media
- players self confidence and self esteem
