Great post.WOW ... People are so negative towards the club and rightly so if it was 12-18 months ago.
Take away all the emotion and look at the facts as our club has done wonders over the last 12 months to turn this club around. We have offloaded most of the deadwood that were just happy to get a pay cheque and replaced with some serious talented players E.g. Bateman, Klemmer, Pap, Api and blooded players like Bula, Tupou, Pole, Starford To'a, Naden etc... Not sure what you all expect because we are building from the very bottom but for me we are 100% heading in the right direction and the playing group seem to be all in (Even after the tough start to the year) .
I love Joe O and will miss him greatly, but I have total faith in the team to replace him or upgrade the guys we don't want to lose E.g. Bula, Stef, Tupou etc.. (Ask yourself would you rather lose Joe O or a Bula / Tupou because we don't have the funds to keep them? I know my choice)
All we really need is a top line 7 and some nice back up players and we are building nicely.
There is a method to Sheen's madness and IMO is working perfectly and we are not getting belted like the past.
Anyway, just wanted to add a positive post and back what the club is doing.
As someone said elsewhere, we let the wrong prop go. Should’ve been Twal. But he was probably on less $ and really those two are much of a muchness.
And yes we need a top 7, but Sheens said recently that he was very committed to Brooks. Now that is a problem. A big one.
