Agree on all counts. I have come around in relation to Casey and, Rhino, I know you think it's dysfunctional but n comparison to other affiliate relationships, it's flying. And they win games!
So you thought the decision where the Cats player just kicked it off the ground backwards to the boundary and wasn't penalized ok? As I mentioned earlier, the lights at the Cattery will mean more prime time scrutiny of the umpiring down there.
The Cats may well rue having the lights put in. They may well put a spotlight on some of the horrendous umpiring decisions that have hamstrung many a great visiting team ( Melbourne 186 excluded)
See your point Master, but its a chicken and egg argument. How are we going to develop a core of hard workers when too many of the mature blokes are failing?
I only agree in part. For the past two years have had the vast majority of an entire age group plus Callan Ward and Phat Phil's son and a couple of mature key position players to boot. And they have gone backwards significantly this year IMO.
