Message: [QUOTE="Chumbason, post: 2242120, member: 2153"] Year in review. WB leaving was in the end a good thing as it allows the club to remove some of his culture while we still have the players to rebuild. That good old WB magic wasn't getting it done anymore and better he go out or at least from this club while we are still somewhere near the top. The Falou purchase and the loss of both Hunt and Taylor were very bad for the club. We have now lost the passion that Hunt brings, have lost the only forward that actually bends the line back and have an over paid winger that is slower than most forwards and only real talent is catching the ball. That being said Wallace improved and with a bit of luck he will be left out of the Blues side next year and give the side a chance to win some games through the rep season. GOOD POINTS are that we have a new coach and a lot of very talented players. BAD POINTS are that we have no game plan, no set moves, no forwards worth their salt and a million $$ back line that has no room to move. Yes it's a rebuilding year, but so is every year. In some areas we did a lot better this year than some expected and in some areas we did a lot worse... we need consistant play every week that is at the level that these players are capable. Not 100% brilliant with no mistakes each and every week, but teams that get flogged as often as we have and fall into slumps as often as we do, will never compete for very long with sides that play consistant football. The likes on Mel, man, G'C and Dogs will beat us more often than not, because they play a better quality of football more often than not. They play as a team, with a game plan and goals in mind. To see Darren Lockyer, one of the greatest if not THE greatest footballer of the era, made to look like a fool because his pack couldn't break the line and his other team mates just stood there and waited to be told and even shown what to do, is very sad indeed. He got crushed because he had no room, he got worn out because he got no help and he looked out of his depth because every one just stood there waiting. I feel for the guy so much, he knew he was screwed against the storm the minute the last game was over... they asked him about the storm and he said with a pained face, "we'll go down there and give it a crack". He knew his backs wouldn't have the room to move because he knew his pack weren't up to it. And a week later he was shown to be dead right. This culture of let someone else do it, or lets just buy one superstar every few years instead of building a team that plays well together will be the death of us, we should never have touched falou, we lost hunt and we gave away Taylor... the only other superstar is getting old and when he's gone. it'll be wooden spoons for everyone. This year was the exactly the same as most of the last 20! [/QUOTE]
