On which basis Warne's squad is to date better... If you want to credit Rosenior's squad for 7th based on a full season where he only ran the team for a handful of games, then the new Warne squad (including players that predated him,) must be considered better as we are now 4th.

You can't have it both ways!

Was success down to recruitment or day to day management? Why was Rosenior binned so quickly? All good questions but introspective and ultimately pointless.

We must judge success holistically - at the moment, having played over 90% of the division once, we are among the top 6. It's due to a number of factors, recruitment being just one (important) factor. As is luck, injuries, tactics, player performance etc.
