I really like the Holbrook signing and obviously offseason focus needs to be effort, fitness and defensive structure.
Getting smashed by 50+ feels awful, but i wanted to go back and see if teams can turn it around in the course of 1 season.
It is an extreme example , and i will be ecstatic if we are even in contention for the 8 next year, but in 2012 Roosters finished 13th and then won the comp the next year after signing Trent Robinson as coach. Didn’t hurt that they also signed Moloney, Jennings and SBW.
Not so much they won the comp but they obviously improved their defense. In 2012 they had the following floggings-
44-4
50-12
40-22
52-14
42-10
Oh yeah, btw their captain in 2012 was Braith Anasta so at least he was taking from experience when he bagged us today.
