Quote: Mild Rover "That’s just people, they have different temperaments. You and 2524 are sanguine, Wizeb and Jake are phlegmatic, and Seb and bonnie are downbeat (though I’d like to think they’re taking some consolation in their
moment of stopped-clock vindication).
It has been quite a screeching 180 and people have different tolerances for cognitive dissonance.
In September, you wrote…when you look at it is our pack will be bigger, younger, more aggressive, more mobile, our backs will have pace and halves will be off the cuff exciting brand to watch, more suited to TS style of play we have all waxed lyrical about at his previous clubs, hes done well IMO to get us anywhere near a play off push with the start we had and the players he has inherited, gotta let him build his own team, hes already turned the attitude and general culture on its head so give him the chance to change the style of play for the better, The guy is a serial winner! He will get this club where they need to be 100% Stay faithful!![/i
Not everyone can process that all going in the bin and then move on so swiftly to seeing something so different as entering an exciting new period. Be patient with them, it will happen. It is how humanity endures.'"
That was how i felt at the time, misguided belief clearly but at the time i genuinely believed that some of the new signings would have made the necessary difference to propel us forward, in some cases they have been good signings (our pack IS bigger and stronger than last year, Pele has shown glimpses of his raw potential and EseEse and Ashworth look solid albeit the latter hasn't played much, I got it wrong admittedly so i do certainly recant certain parts of that previous post as clearly it hasn't turned out well in anyway shape or form, what i will say however is i strongly believe we are heading into and already in the early stages of a hugely important and exciting period for this club. We didn't have the wealth we now appear to have last September so are now able to get business done early (Hardaker, Holmes, Briscoe, Asiata already signed on for 2025) with only one of those counting towards the quota spots and likely to see Okunbur, Sao, Carlos leave on top of Hoy and Nu Brown giving us 4 quota spots still to play with and a good chunk of that expected to go on a marquee 7 im excited, we are on the up again whether anyone likes it or not, there's not one fan who can claim otherwise as its not up for debate that a backline of what we will have next year plus a dream team top quality loose man and a marquee 7 with trueman also back fit to further compliment the aforementioned big back isn't HUGELY improved from where we have been past 2 or 3 seasons. Good detective work see you at Old Trafford somewhere down the line squire!
