Agreed BUT
174 points scored against us in 4 games is not acceptable regardless of all the above. Just 2 months without 3 players and we fall from contenders to possible wooden-spooners says our preparation and structures need to be looked at...
"If by the end of next season we are struggling"... I hate to break it to you, but we ARE struggling, our season has in fact ENDED
The only way Des will shut up all the whining (not that he loses sleep over our opinions lol), is by playing some young talent over the remaining rounds. Let turbo and walks have a rest. Let jake have an early mark - he def needs a good pre-season! Even DCE, marty, and addin imo should all be given weeks off, they've tried their guts out. This can be a big opportunity for guys like Guac, Metcalf, Saddler, Schuster, Hoppa Jr, Cust, Paseka, Keppie, etc We will see them get flogged but at least they'll be firing for next season
