Is it better if we don’t sneak into the play offs this year. Good month off Get the of preseason starting early, get the dross out and new signings in, hit the ground running next year.

Think making the semis last year paper over the cracks, really believe RS could be the best coach in SL and 2023 could be 2004 all over again.

Thoughts?

This thread is madness

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.
