This is a good discussion but there's a bunch of questionable assumptions going into it

1. They are fixable
2. We want to fix them
3. They need fixing

Look at the timing of this discussion, their onfield performance has gotten worse as the season as progressed, after winning 3 of their first 4 and losing the 4th by a point. Typical of a young side. Player retention is an issue but Brisbane & GWS have had the same problem, even Sydney had a COLA introduced to combat that - only they got too good and we had to take it off them again

Give them their COLA to help recruit & keep their players and give them time
