Its very very rare that the signing of one or two stars transforms a team. Maybe a team on the way up but not a team on the slide. We are a team on the slide.one of the first things you need to do is instill grit. You may not win every game but you want to make them know they had a game. You dont want to win games because teams take you lightly. You need to earn respect and back it up.
Our depth signings as they are referred to are going to help that straight away. If you replace good player with below average due to injury the team suffers. The quality of our back up , as we endeavour to halt the slide, and then begin the climb has to be pretty decent. Juniors at this point that take time to develop but have plenty of errors in them are a nice story but not that effective.
For middle of the road teams that never seem to get the bounce of the ball , crucial errors at crucial times almost always haunt them on the table. Non world beaters that are reliable that have moments, build a team culture and keep you in the game much longer against top opposition.
Once the team has earnt respect established themselves as a team that fights, has disciplne, does the simple things right, a few gun juniors and a superstar or 2 will take the team to a new level.
Honestly out 2 superstars moving forward are cherry and turbo. These players can be the difference and to be honest both look a couple of seasons away from being those players. The team needs to peak as they peak. Turbo needs to get his defence right and cherry needs to calm down. This will come as the team mature
We will do better next year especially as we are rumoured to sign 81 new players but we have to get our heads around building a team, that will fight for eachother, that will not lie down ever, be mentally strong, respects no one and can land a killer punch at crucial times. You need to break teams mentally as we are being broken now.
We are on the way to fulfil the first few but we are not mature enough , do not have enough belief or skill to be the full package. Get ready for a season of grafting out a win and grafting out a loss.
Even though we are out to improve our wing position i still dont believe this is about attack. This will turn out to be a defensive ploy as they will play inside cherry and walker who are both hogs.
You gotta get the grunt right first. That is our first step. Next step discipline
