So there is agreement that:
a) Welnix aren't likely to invest heavily in anything
b) Our squad is ageing
c) Our coach has a preferred style of playing but is trying to do something different
Given a) and c) probably aren't going to change much, the focus for next season should be b).
Or is there another option?
(that doesn't involve the Lance Armstrong option or the NRL approach)
Good question. I think that due to the points you've stated, we need watertight tactics and great morale - either from Ricki or new coach or new assistants or whomever. We have to get the best out of the players we have/will get. It's the only way I can see us competing with better squads.
