Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3193049, member: 9052"] There's no doubt that strength and conditioning was a major factor to the poor season, but if the only casualty of the season is a clean out of the high performance team then I think it's a cop out. To me it's like a PR move to start a narrative and create optics "hey look we're doing something to address the dumpster fire of a season". From a financial perspective they just spent a ton paying out Seibold (expense to the football department)... clean out of the high performance team will be further expense to the football dept, but hey if they haven't been there very long then payouts may not be that high. Their revenues have been hit hard this year and whilst the fans want action and accountability, the cost to actually do an entire clean out could be significant and potentially something they can't afford at the moment (could explain why Kevvie has allegedly been pulled up on making certain appointments). I wonder what the review had to say about composition of the playing roster including distribution of contracts. Does the review take a look at current contracts and how they compare to similar contracts elsewhere in the NRL (are we overpaying players/positions)? Does it look at distribution of the cap between forwards, backs, spine, etc. and whether they've got that balance right? Distribution of the cap across age groups and the total lack of leadership we currently have? These aren't aspects of whether the player is providing value for money, it's simply an assessment of facts to assess the roster management and if it has attributed to the poor season. If I'm looking at it from the outside I note that statements about the review include the leagues club... that could suggest the review is more like a performance review of the business as a whole with a focus on the off field side of things rather than specifically looking at the football department. I would just be disappointed if the only fall guy out of the whole thing is the high performance team. [/QUOTE]
