We all knew Totori was gonna be a big wild card. If he flopped then trademark Ricki signing but if he didn't it was a bit of a bonus. I was okay with this. Not okay with us giving him a player option to extend when signing him as an import was a big risk.
I was listening back to the comments made on the podcast just after he was signed, and all of their concerns came true. He was much, much more likely to be a flop than he was to be the #IslandMessi.
I do wonder how our team would have gone if Ifill was fit, Stein was used properly, Smith didn't vanish, Sanchez could distribute a ball properly and Totori could actually play.
When you read that, you will realise that as a whole, our imports collectively were the worst in the league. Not sure if that's extremely poor recruitment or coaching but when the 5 guys that are meant to be better than the rest, aren't.... well. Based on this years form and form only, Its extremelt unlikely that not one of our guys would start in any other team (and I include Ifill)
I just hope next year the Ifill is 8 kgs lighter, Stein gets used properly (because he has the talent in spades) and Totori can manage to keep the ball inplay with his 2nd touch. That alone will help to ensure a much better season.
