He was poor again today at reserve level.....will be delisted at seasons end as he has no chance of impacting at senior level.
Aside from 3 or 4 players our success in getting in established players during this rebuild has been awful.
Thank god we got so many earlier round draft picks.
I didn't see it at the time, but with the benefit of hindsight I wonder whether the Fazzy boys and Langs of this world were more or less making up the numbers cheaply while we loaded up on high draft picks. Watching Port and North last night I was struck by how their discards or recruits from other clubs seem B grade at best. Polec, Pittard etc., seem ok, but don't add all that much quality. Shiel would have been a nice get - I think the club was genuinely interested, but I'm glad SOS stood firm and didn't sell the farm to land him.
I wonder whether there was ever any hope from the club that these guys would make it as regular best 22 players, and if the club is saving its pennies for some real top class talent this trade period or next. Just pure conjecture on my part.
