Quote ="sally cinnamon"So who do you think had better squads than us in 2016?
The whole of SL was struggling to recruit at this time, which is why we finished top.
Unless your view is that Warrington were unique in assembling a crap squad, but due to TS genius in polishing turds, he achieved one of the great all time feats of coaching by getting this useless lot to top the league ahead of rivals who had recruited much more effectively.'"
LOL. I think we can safely say that TS could not polish turds, he signed enough and tried and tried.
2016 was largely due to Sandow and the lack of competition. A blip in a downward trend as the quality of our side ebbed away. The squad was large but low on quality in key positions. Broadly the same squad in 2017 less Sandow and the Smith/Agar partnership was found out.
I am just relieved that, in Price, we have managed to rebuild sufficiently to get into the Top 4 to stem the damage.
