It was always going to be hard to replicate the number of wins last year without new signings but the total collapse of the season, with it being over by Halloween and us realistically looking like being in a dogfight for worst Welsh region with the Scarlets, is down largely to a catastrophic philosophical error by Booth.
We have tried to change our style too fast and without good reason.
I no longer have faith in Booth as the person to take us forward. We have so many players out of contract that there is a chance to reshape the squad. What we need is someone who understands how to build a squad - where is the evidence Booth understands this? This is a huge recruitment window and I do not see how you can trust someone who has tried to impose expansive rugby on this set of players to recruit to an effective plan.
We should be a direct and physical team - a failure to be this has cost us wins against the Turks, Dragons, Stormers and Lions. Now we’re looking at not having a winnable game until the end of December.
Couldn't agree more the buck stops with Booth.
A complete and utter disaster.
This stands in results comparison with Clarke and Millward era.
