My mini appraisal of what has to change for the future to be bright, much more is needed but this is a start. . .
Backline:Bowden omitted must be traded at the end of the year while he has any value, Raines cya later, VFL time, learn to kick and not give hospital passes.
Enter Casserly and Connors.
Midfield:Hyde, Tiv, Howat, Tuck. You all are duds. I would consider Tiv as a forward pocket sweeping simply because he knows the goals so well but it's too late for him now.
Enter empty spots, Bling if he hits his straps and Cogs. And that's a biiig worry, we need Rhys Palmer, Trent Cotchin(With pick 2), or Scott Selwood or Jack Grimes with priority pick I'm afraid.
Forwards: Schulz (dud, hate to say it because he has such a massive upside it seems but its not showing, sorry Sarge. From a once big supporter)
Enter Hughes, Peterson
NOTE: Richo needs to start accepting he's not what he was I'm afraid and start to think of the club instead of himself and take a lesser role to let Hughes and Jack learn the trade. Sometimes the truth hurts but RFC needs to face it to establish a successful future. Sorry Richo, you're a champ but the truth hurts.
