No it isn't if you are playing guys like Johnson, Whiley and Holman instead of pushing guys like Docherty, Walker etc to play then that's effectively development tanking. Fact of the matter is that we can't get what we need to be successful unless we finish pretty low on the ladder, those good big tall kids are likely to be gone in the first few picks and if we don't get them then we're in for another decade of being losers. Nothing wrong with trying to win as long as you're playing the youngsters and not selecting teams that will likely win . Culture will come later.
Again, it's about intent. Culture won't come later if we let it drift away through joyful losses. We'll be bad enough to be thereabouts anyway.
