Get REAL!
It wouldnt make us worse, but it will rape us of the chance to sign a star back.
So think about blokes like brown, holmes, lichaa, gagan etc if they get good, we wont keep them either. Looks like stapo will live another season
I respect the fact that many of you want to see Flanno (and the club for that matter) utilise our local juniors more. I get that. However, as it stands right now, I have followed this club for over 35 years, and have NOTHING to show for it. I agree that any club should show faith and develop local talent, but right now, for a club which has been in existence for as long as our Sharks have without success, I have no problems with us looking to more established and experienced players to get us a premiership sooner. Juniors are for our future, for sure. A premiership is for today, and you cant win a comp with juniors. We have waited long enough. When we win a comp, this experience will take our juniors to the next level. They will taste success, and chase success because it felt so good. Right now our juniors are aspiring to play for an average team, with average expectations. Lets win a comp first, by any means. Then give our juniors something to live up to.
Just my 2c worth.
