Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2796615, member: 1899"] Whenever I hear a coach declare a season a rebuilding year, they're not doing anything productive, they're just performing damage control. Take Newcastle for instance, do they look any better than what they did last year? All that talk of a rebuild and their roster doesn't look capable of achieving anything until 2019 at the earliest. At which point, established cogs in their side will move on and the competition will change dramatically. It's pissing in the wind as far as I'm concerned. By the time March rolls around, you select your best 17, adjustments are usually made via injury and nothing changes until the off-season hits. Coaches who try to blood a bunch of players and change the approach of the side wind up eating crow and defaulting to whatever worked. Final side-tangent, I hate the way signings are handled. It was crummy when the Knights signed Ponga and how the media pressured the Cowboys into releasing him early. That isn't how contracts work and the social expectation should be on the players honoring their commitment, not on the club's doing the right thing for a struggling club. [/QUOTE]
