I think we can appreciate that in many ways this is a learning experience.
But we didn't get beaten by GWS today....we got beaten by half of GWS....and in the last quarter about a third of GWS.
Yes, we had significant outs as well but full strength v full strength it would have been a similar result.
The thing is...when they announced this rebuild back in 2015 did anyone expect us to be sitting last with 2 wins at this stage of 2018.
Sure we expected there would be some backward movement...but to this extent?
Injuries...a problem
Not being able to attract experienced quality players...a problem.
Some not developing as quickly as we'd like...also a problem
But problems that should have been foreseen and factored in.
The unexpected will always bite you in the bum.
The time for radical changes is not now...but this season is done and dusted and we need to look at the future in pretty harsh, realistic terms.
2019 needs to be a no excuse year...you go hard or go elsewhere.
Lesson time is over.
It's time for big school.
There is much work to be done and we need to shake this idea that everything will work out fine if we just let the plan roll along.
