This thread is madness

Its been one heck of a turnaround, we looked nowhere near contenders in July. Just called it as it was back then.

It certainly has

Squad still needs major improvements, and it would be unfortunate if a final appearance meant that Uncle Gary decided that he could pretend otherwise... again.

With the clearing out of players we either have signing that haven't been announced, or we are still working through some deals. At least 3 of last night's team are moving on

Well I was one of those wrong. At least we're not having the annual debate about whether we should even have play offs and a Grand Final like on TRL.

We clearly need to improve the squad, and with the announced outgoings I expect we'll see a few new names before next season. Maybe not big names but I trust Smith's judgement - all of the outgoing players would have been at the top of my list to move on, and the shakeup in staff has been a long time coming too.
