Reckon he’s had more signing announcements than goals kicked over the last 5yrs.
Sadly when you wonder why none of the Northern clubs seem to be able to climb the Divs, this is part of the reason - it’s a giant merry go round with players going from A to B to C to A to B to C.
Guessing McIver’s will be next on the clearance list?
I guess it comes down to how important you consider the division you play in.
Do all clubs think their exsistence is to strive to be a div 1 club or are some clubs happy being a lower division yo yo club if they snag a few flags along the journey.
The recruit from your nearest rival model has proven for the last twenty years its not a sustainable success model but hey if a fair few players grab that elusive premiership medal than can we really critisise.
That’s the other hard part, are your really good junior products going to hang around if they don’t see you recruiting the best players available.
Who knows the answer
Does the merry go round happen as much with the southern clubs?
