Actually seems to have got better - had got slightly boring, people were even clamouring for the return of Tommac, LLS or the like.
Its good to have someone challenge the accepted wisdom, so to speak. I don't agree with all Alpine says, sometimes, maybe, he goes over the top but what's wrong with that?
We are taking a huge gamble this season, maybe it will work, maybe it won't, getting the balance right is very, very difficult. There are promising signs but it could all go horribly wrong. Unfortunately we have to offload a number of the high earners, some deserve to go more than others. I refrain from commenting on individuals because I haven't been fortunate to see any of them play.
From what people say, Rasiak seems no great loss. To get rid of Rasiak and John would seem foolhardy, so lets hope it doesn't happen and we can keep the losses (financial) under control.
