Ladies and Gentlemen
I am somewhat confused at all the negativity after a loss to a team that is clearly a top four contender.
Our squad is not a top 4 squad.
Last year we nearly won the wooden spoon.
The new coach has done his very best to recruit quality players.
Unfortunately, we have not been competitive in the player market, and will rely heavily on the promotion of juniors for the next two seasons.
Last time I looked at the ladder we have 4 wins and 4 losses.
We have to be realistic when assessing our team’s chances of playing finals footy.
Three games in twelve days.
Suli knocked out in first play of the game.
Then a string of penalties giving the Roosters field position. The signs were ominous. They had lost three of their last four games. They were hungrier but also far more talented.
Our problems are inherently structural.
No joint venture club has succeeded to date, nor will they.
The club needs to make a monumental decision.
One ground.
One base.
One name.
Illawarra Steelers ?
Illawarra Dragons ?
St George Dragons ?
Whatever the decision is, it needs to be made very soon, otherwise the club will be relocated interstate or will eventually fold all together.
