What to do after that?

[Cheese sandwich]

I don't really think there is much that can be done. It's just shuffling deck chairs. All of them are around the same ability. Mid range. Others are under mid range.

The only person I rate of our depth players is Tracey but I'm under no illusion he's any sort of star. The majority of the squad are all low quality first graders, individually none except moylan and graham are utterly useless but when you've got about 15 of them in the 1 squad and the star player is off his game this is what happens.

 

[shadowboxer]

Problem is the majority are low quality first graders now all on decent money and long term contracts - who don’t have much hunger. If your well fed mentally, there ain’t a lot of incentive

Craig in the presser admitted the edge defence is not good enough and that they boys “will be defending this week”.

was asked about the 12 points we scored and he said he was more upset about the D than the attack.

I do think the poor D is masking the poor attack against the good sides too. For a team that easily puts on 30+ against the poor sides, we struggle to put on 12+ against the top sides. This is also a lot to do with the defence and losing the battle of field position etc. but our attack does look a lot clunkier vs the top teams.

Cool

How does the cap work?
1. Do you have to spend the entire amount?
2. If not, is there a percentage that can be unspent?
3. Is it possible we might have front loaded a stack of the current mob?

Wade on report for a trip too so may be forced to miss a week.

I saw that, deserves 8

Yes, they are the definition of flat track bullies. Everything smooth and well working against poor teams but any sort of competition and they are well off.

1. Nope, as long as you pay min wage to the bottom 4 players.
2. I don't believe so.
3. We are stupid so it is possible. Better than backending I suppose
4. I don't think we have 30 in the top squad yet. We have to fill that by August 1 I think

Pretty sure you need to spend at least 90%

Teams have to spend 95% of the cap:

Honestly, not sure I’ll bother watching the rest of the season. I’ve been very indifferent this season. I really didn’t get enjoyment the last few weeks because beating the crap teams really means nothing until they can beat decent teams.

If Teamlist Tuesday comes by and they’ve essentially named the same line up - that will cement not watching.

 

[Stake Removed]

We have actually gone backwards in last 6 games, we all knew we would beat those bottom 3 teams.
We would have expected to win one of those games against top 8 but nothing zilch.
Those last 3 wins were going through motion Fitz learnt nothing and it was seen today

exactly my feelings. Extremely weird feeling about them this season. Feel like they may as well pack up and go to Bali now. They’re wasting everyone’s time. Switched off with over 20 minutes to go today. Been a longgg time since I’ve done anything like that.
