They survived by only 1 or 2 games and he won there BNF. They are looking like being in another Survival battle due to lack of recruiting, loss of key players and that is a dangerous place to be after doing so much right.To be fair, Fry has only played at the club for one season. Good bloke and great player but the club will move on.
The landscape is the same as it always has been. Clubs ignore juniors and pay overs for seniors. There is a quick sugar hit but soon enough they find it’s not sustainable.
MV lost Padmore and McGrath a few seasons back. Probably 2 of the best players in C Grade. The club survived.
Time will tell and hope your confidence is proven right.
