The coach has announced that some of his much loved and respected senior players need to make was for the keen younger players who deserve a go.
Excuse me? Isn't that what we did last year and that's why Mayne, Barlow, Silvagni, De Boer and Mzungu left/were shown the door?
So now we're going to the second tranche of 'banished to Peel' — at least it will improve their premiership prospects.
... and we're going to pull the kids out of Peel to give them a run, and we'll have the yo-yo effect of kids being in one week and out the next. A kid gets to play in the Ones, we get flogged, he gets sent back to Peel. Great confidence builder that.
Meanwhile Zac Dawson will stay in the Ones.
If this is a rebuild, we haven't even got the concrete pad pegged out yet.
