    Exactly so lets not pretend he's turned 13th into 7th without support. This summer has so far been somewhat dull, but the window isn't closed yet and for all we know Howe has said no to players we could have perhaps signed.

    What if you include inflation and calculate in Chinese Yuan?

    So is the assumption otherwise which is the entire point.

    The words for all we know are key.

    I see the cult trying to pretend Howes not had loads of money to move 5 places forward

    Sorry but if you set up the same jokes, you get the same jokes.

    Anyway, the point is while I agree it sounds a lot of money, if you compare our spending with other teams, we've not exactly gone crazy. The regulations have slowed down what we could have done.

    It's why we still have Longstaff, Murphy and others in the squad. The bigger issue will be if Howe picks them over more capable players when everyone is available.

    True. And suspect he will because he has his favourites. Longstaff is average.

    Tonali is miles better.

    We finished 13th the season before he took over and 7th last season.

    That is a fact

    You do know that 7th to 13th is 6 places forward not 5?

    And bottom when he took over to 4th in his first full season is 16 places forward?

    I thought it was 12th initially but that was Bruce's 1st season.

    Only looking at full seasons... same as penfold likes to.

    So we've moved from 13th to 7th yeah.

    Wasn't talking about position but that's garbage as well. We won the League in 1926/7 and that's as relevant as your point.

    It's Delusionals original identity... used to have an avy of penfold.

    He spent a week a while ago arguing that he only judges full seasons which I think is fair.
