Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 3640281, member: 8440"] We are in this position due to some really questionable recruitment and retention decisions since Ben Ikin left. At full strength, we are a top 8 side, but even slightly depleted, we become a bottom 8 side. The disparity between our first choice and reserve players is too big. Ikin made some good value signings while he was here, but it only worked because our full strength team was good quality. We've since lost some key players, and have decided not to recruit any like-for-like replacements. Instead of replacing the players we lost, It's like we tried to repeat what Ikin did and sign some depth players in their place. However, we've completely missed the mark by some margin. The likes of Baker, Sailor, etc are barely reserve grade standard, yet we are forced to play them in first grade due to there being nobody better. It's hard to see how this season gets better until we have our full strength team playing uninterrupted for the remainder of the year. [/QUOTE]
