Those starred players in the ‘out’ list affected our campaign last season and added to us not winning the LLS.
Their cap reduced our spending and lack of depth.
In addition to the injury to Fizgibbon, and poor discipline from senior players, (one in particular), we were very very close. I think we ought not to have been anywhere near the top 4 in reflection.
So how many of these new signings do you think will be starred, technically wasted cap money?
Anything less than 5 starred players in the new recruitment would see us technically stronger, no?
I get 3 (*)
So with Fitzgibbon and Hayes fixed, only 3(*) players possibly being dead wood on the cap, the now seasoned academy lads from 2024…
Is this not a huge improvement upon last season in depth, if at least not the starting 13?
I would say, we must be bankers for the LLS and making a GF.
