Cristian Romero

It's usually an outpouring of relief and joy in the moment, that we've swerved a horrible and painful moment.

But, yes, this is 2026 so the human reaction could be anything

I know how I react if we go down. My ire won't be directed at the players unless they don't give it everything tomorrow. The board should get it both barrels.

If we stay up...this past 3-4 months has been horrendous and it's gotten more horrendous as we've gone until until RDZ came in. If we avoid a fate I think we truly deserve and looked destined for, there will be extreme relief. I still think the board should get it in the neck but not sure I can do relief and abuse at the same time.

RDZ spoke glowingly of Davies yesterday and the fact he wants to stay with the team. Why is that? And, if he wants Davies there, do you not think in an ideal world, he’d want Romero there too?

There is a massive psychology difference here between the 2 players though. Davies has been unavailable for team selection consistently over a 5 year period through injury and even when fit knows he is most likely on the bench. He is also in the twilight of his career and with that comes maturity. I reckon he would play the mascot / motivator role way easier than Romero to be fair. I still think Cuti should be present though.

Have we though? Staying up and prolonging the steady decline is maybe worse than the short sharp shock? We're fudged either way
