The right decision to release Turon. Poor most of the season. Just about twelve weeks too late. I do wonder what happened to the raft of changes that was hinted at eh.... A few low key, scraped conference wins, I suspect, put an end to them. Papered the cracks again

Did Todd not say he wanted a right handed forward (Cameron) and possibly one more if possible.

Its just strange management decisions sadly. We all know how to pack the barn, and that is with a "Matt Nickerson", and a more physical style of play, bung a full time Brit or 2 in, and the crowds will be 400-500 more than now, as we'd be genuine challengers. Just baffles me It's like they're terrified of progress

It's Dejavu every year To be fair - problem started when it took so long to resolve the Kyle Folmer issue, which resulted in playing short from the off. Then compound everything else on top of that.

Or could Shane Stockton have recovered fit and will be back in the team? He is still on the Roster

It would make sense for Stockton to come back! Others have been brought in for lesser amounts of time. It's frustrating the lack of information that's been communicated regarding Stocks injury and/or his possible return. Hes one of the guys that fans speak highly about yet no information since mid December!

They have progressed in many ways, but alas, in the overall context of things, still stuck in the past. They seem unable to grasp the concept of customer satisfaction, and the premise that you speculate to accumulate

I wouldn't like to think you were embellishing the truth......

I wouldn't like to think you were embellishing the truth...... Perhaps raft is an overstatement, but well before Christmas, there were multiple hints of changes. I was certainly expecting 2 or 3 at least from the language Todd was using in his interviews. The only real thing that's happened is that we brought Isaacs in, lost Stocks, from memory, this was before any real intent that change was committed to coming, then we brought in Cameron, and yesterday released Turon. So we lost a key forward, and brought in a short term (which became long term) D man (who played up front), released a D man, and brought in a forward. I suspect we had planned changes, then won a few games, some in which we still played poorly by all accounts, so it was panic over. I suspect my use of the word raft in indeed though, an embellishment, I'll grant you that
