Quote ="isaac1"if it tips down with rain, you may only beat us by about 20 points. if it is a dry track then God knows.
the key to our downfall is the policy of not promoting from within, where you can get better value for money when bringing players through. Also, many of our top players got old together and there was nothing coming through beneath them.
Hape and Vainikolo got injuries that rendered them shadows of the plares they were, and we got them off cap at what looks like the right time. the problem is that we have replaced them with very average players like Worrincey, Platt etc... and even worse like Sherriffe!!
the club claims to be spending the full cap amount! that means that there are some players who are being seriously overpaid!
four years ago, if we put our squad up for sale, the top three teams would have taken virtually all of our squad off our hands. Now, after 3 years of McNamara and Hood's mismanagement, we probably have half a dozen players who would be an asset to the top sides, and a squad full of players who are probably as high up the league ladder now as they are ever going to be!
I still think that Burgess, Scruton, Lynch, Morrison, Menzies and (I'll say it very quietly) Newton, are good enough to get in most teams in SL. but of those 6, four are 29 or over and there lies our problem.'"
I just can't understand Langley's slide in form. When he first arrived in SL he looked awesome. What's gone wrong?
