Too many people on here are used too accepting average. Like I have stated with Gower. Yeah he runs up and tackles. Guys on here cream and give each other neck pecks on how great he is.
Think of a other teams forward packs and which ones he would make.....
And there are too many people on here who don't see or accept things for what they are. The expectation is that one of these days someone will walk into this place, pull the rug throught it and BOOM . . . We are now a well drilled, well oiled machine in 12-18 months Despite how poor a state the club is in. Some people need to wake up and be patient.
Now i have already heard the 'we are over it' 'been a shambles for too long' points and i agree. But I also know re-builds and getting this mess in order both roster and salary cap wise takes the best part of 2 years to fix.
Consider the past when we have over paid for players to come here , kept guys on overs based on potential, and then paid chunks of player contracts who are now at other clubs . . .
Now consider we are getting rid of the deadwood, signing rep quality (battle hardened) players on the correct money and signing guys that can do solid jobs for us (Taka, Wicks, Gower). I dont have any links to the club but have heard from some close the recruitment drive isn't over (those whispers echoed on here). The Gower's and Wicks' of the world play hard, run hard and tackle hard, something every club needs.
i have never seen us lift that trophy and i just like everyone on here want nothing more. But let's allow the bloke to get his job done, and judge him at the end of next season. At least then we can judge fairly and say his team, his squad of 25.
