And you're right, there'll be an out, and there'll be people saying, well, Higgins didn't play, and Nas didn't play, and Owens didn't play.

But when they did play, they still weren't really competitive against the teams that they needed to be competitive against, the top eight teams.

They haven't beaten a team inside the top ten.

This year, and they've spent all this money and gone recruiting to make them relevant.

They thought they had arrived.

This is year four of Ross Line.

This is year four.

He wasn't rebuilding when he took over.

He took over, played finals in the first year.

They got him because they thought he could take this group, which was pretty good.

To the next level.

This is not starting from scratch rebuilding.

And then they've gone all in on this group and gone, we'll give you five more players with a huge price.

And they're 11th.

They may be 13th after this round.

And they're in that dead zone that you speak of again.

So zero improvement from the investment they've made.

Players like McRae still playing in this side.

What's Henry giving you in this side?

Like, Liam Ryan's not playing.
