Message: [QUOTE="Skathen, post: 3179797, member: 8789"] While I wholeheartedly agree with almost everything you've written IBM - there have been positives this season aside from Siebold and White leaving. 1) With the quantity of injuries we have had, we got to see most of our 30 take the field and get a grasp of how they handle NRL level. Some, like Riki, Dearden, Bullemor and Paix have shown they can handle it and will be mainstays at the club next season. 2) There's no hiding behind a spoon, the humiliation is complete. There are no "buts" or twisting of stats/words that can lessen what that title means. Last year there was lots of big talk around fixing things after getting smashed out of the finals in round 1. Then the "buts" started, at least we made the finals, we did x, y, z better than those other teams below us etc. Those excuses are dead and buried. Hopefully nothing but accountability remains and this is a catalyst for real and significant change in the club - top to bottom. 3) We are nearly at the end of having huge salary cap dollars tied up in ineffective or overpaid players. Bird and Milf are coming into their final year and I seriously doubt we'll see either in Broncos colours in 2022. Boyd and Kahu gone, McCullogh maybe gone, TPJ one infamous step away from being cut lose. Butter finger Flegler will probably struggle to match his current contract as he's really not lived up to his potential and has been very error prone. Oppa will hopefully **** off to the dragqueens. That gives us a huge amount of financial clout to lock up Staggs, Dearden and co. Heck, we may even struggle to spend our salary cap in the next 2 years unless we may some major big name signings, we may decide to front load Staggs and Dearden because why not? We should probably also throw a carrot Haas' way because he really is on unders considering his value to our team, should at least be getting more than butter fingers flegler. 4) Despite a few absolute spuds like Oates, the team has improved considerably over the last few weeks. Defense is improving, scoring more points. I feel we've turned a dark and deep corner. The unknown is how long it actually takes to get back to where they were 2 years ago. [/QUOTE]
