Phew disagreements ended finally
Im still waiting to hear how Robbo thinks we should move forward to compete with the US.

I know how to beat them and maybe I could even put the resources together to do so but I haven't got the inclination anymore after what happened with Nexus toward the end.
It's not rocket science in putting that package together, it requires someone who knows what they are doing at the very top end of our sport, somebody who can command sufficient resources to enable weekly team practice (minimum), individuals though would need to practice drills at home during the week, and basically that's it.
FFS I put together a team of predominantly ams and novices in 2003 and got to 7th ranked in the world in that first year, the only thing that prevented us from improving on that was the mentality of some of the squad players who believed their own hype and stopped listening.
But maybe that was my failing as well by not weeding them out earlier, who knows?
But all this talk is somewhat academic because there are soo many obstacles in doing it now, and anyway, the UK does not play host to anybody now who possesses the connections and expertise, so maybe all this talk is just that, talk.
