H'm,
If you ask me, thats not a bad lineup, and yes I think JT will do the right thing by you guys next year. Could be far worse, you could have Brownie coming over next year.
Seriously guys, your squad looks pretty good, albeit a little thin on the bench.
It is funny though, when you look at squads for the following year and I am talking about Saints as well as Souths, and for that matter any other team, they all look like world beaters and when the new season kicks in you wonder what went wrong.
Am I waffling a bit here??
GO
Nope.
I was more hopeful earlier this year than I am now. Im sort of quiet now. Neither glum nor confident.
I think last year we had more players hitting some form and better options. We did really well to get to the finals..
Now we have had a rush of fresh players, Sandow just bolted, Simpson and Capewell settled in well, they will be great players in a few years.
We have some gaps to plug....
perhaps
On the positive, we have a decent off season coming with Lang on board and thats going to help us a great deal.
People such as Bozo Fulton thought we would have a much better year this year mainly due to closer ties between players and coach. That was an interesting view as it doesnt just rely on the injection of new players.
No doubt JT is still stuck in his year-in-review study. That goes on for several weeks and rolls into prep for next season. He is very thorough and Im sure he isnt going to like most of it. Some of it was pretty good. It wasnt a hopeless season, but it was well below what we anticipated.
But Im still on the train.
