That?s an excellent post from Matt and a point that requires highlight. Are we over reliant on Jones and Crowley, probably. Would people go ballistic if we had sold one of them after the Langstaff sale, 100% guaranteed. The owners would have been accused of being unambitious. Should we have used a chuck of the playing budget to retain Jones, yes yes and yes.

If we don?t finish in playoffs I would change the head coach. The drift away is disappointing but hardly unexpected in the circumstances. We have been top 6 almost all season with key men all out for considerable time, that is higher league positions than I expected.
