Firstly, I am guilty of not tracking the players that made the Grand Final of Holden Cup last year, apart from Tom Trbojevic.
All I know is that since making the GF last year, we have sacked the Coach (results based business and all) and we are on the bottom of the Holden Cup ladder... 3 wins away from the next lowest ranked team. By comparison we are only 13th on the NRL ladder.
What I want to know is:
1. What happened to most of the players in that team?
2. Have our current NRL recruits been that much of an improvement on these players? Given that they would surely not cost as much, as well as have age on their side?
3. In the past two years, do we actually have another junior team with this calibre of players? And if we do, are we just not realising or utilising them?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that long-time recruitment manager Dave Warwick was also sacked last year.
