Reset Rants

The point of difference is that we've gone a "stripping back and youth" approach as opposed to what we've done in the past

We're arguing  with this approach we'll be back playing finals in  a couple of years after 5-6 years out of the eight....and hopefully seeing a sustained period of success.
I'd suggest there is a good chance we'd be there anyway through the natural rotation of clubs...without the pain

After all we did 'rebuild' it in an  entirely different way in the period 2002 to 2009  and stayed in the finals for 4 out of the next 5 years despite an absolute off-field turmoil.

If many of the things IOT mentioned had gone right instead of wrong in the years following we might still be there, and even progressing....but we've had disasters with coaches, injuries to key personnel, loss of players and lack of development.

My issue has always been with this 'absolute certainty' that things will work out through the current 'different' approach.
We don't know that.
We can hope.
...and we should also be free to comment about aspects of the rebuild that concerns us.
