People like to make excuses for our ineptness... Clarko hasn’t got tank in him, the only time he’ll genuinely play the kids and look to change things is if there is no mathematical way we can play finals.
Because we were trying win and Sicily is an AA rebounding defender and was having no impact forward. He gave away 4 FA playing forward.
Staggering people think we have tanked at any point so far.
Trust me - the club knows exactly where we are at with the list, where we are expected to be this year. No one knows this more than Clarko. What I'm hearing and all the stuff coming from the ITKs are saying the same thing. We want high draft picks this year more than anything
This idea that Clarko is "inept" and is the drunk captain deliriously hanging onto the sinking ship that some of you guys allude to is nuts. Of course Clarko is putting on a brave "we need to win this one" face on game day, but there's a reason he mostly gave up coaching from the bench a few weeks back.
There's no cleverly planned out tanking conspiracy, but there's experimentation going on in games, with players and the game style, and team selection, and just because Mitch Lewis is in the 2s doesn't mean that we're throwing hail mary's at the year with Rough.
