Cripps is 24, if we are still floundering around when he is 26-27 can we keep him? or will he look for the big retirement contract and a premiership contender club...same with some of our other kids.
Its fine sticking with Bolton but will our top kids who wont stay kids for ever stick with us when the big dollars come looking for them if we are still a basket case?
When is the cutoff point, the line in the sand...5 years? We need an injection of a some real star material like a Conliglio, Kelly etc to be a catalyst, how can you attract that with bottom 4 results?
Sooner or later the club will have to set a bar for Bolton to reach and make a decision, we just cant keep drifting along doing the same thing every year, achieving the same results, getting another No 1 or 2 draft pick and being annual rebuilders.
Falling in just and getting the points vs rubbish like Gold Coast wont change anything either unless we win by plenty and kick 100 points....it will be just another false dawn
that appeases a few for a another short period of time until we run up against another easybeat team and do similar and end up with 3-4 wins at seasons end.
