-> And all those touted for moves, Elmo, Robbo, Grosicki, Clucas, Jak, Abel. What of them?
I'd be amazed if any bar maybe the odd one is still here come September.
-> Got to love the enthusiasm of The Slut, but where's his team of coaches, his own hand picked men. Not people foisted on him?
Agree, so refreshing to hear him talk. But I've been asking exactly the same question; as good as he may be, there simply isn't the needed support for him and strength in depth when it comes to his coaching team.
New country, new language (which he appears to have pretty much mastered), new everything, with nothing familiar to fall back on, unless he's on the blower to Roman every night.
-> All still keeps coming back to the owners for me, gradually dismantling everything that had been built up over several years.
Agree with the first part, but not the second. Not so much their dismantling of it, more like their incompetence and pigheadedness. They've had unbelievable opportunities to build & cement something really special, but they've managed to **** it up twice now, and I fear they won't have chance of a third time lucky.
