I don't think it's a mystery. We've a mediocre team which is essentially now finished for the season. Way outside the top four, so won't get in the semis, out of the cup, but not in danger of dropping into the middle eights.
So we're in the running for nothing. Similarly, there's no serious hints of new signings, changes to the set-up, or hope for the future.
In effect, we're now in the close-season for this club. There's nothing to get excited about until 2017.
