I've no doubt that he was casting an eye to the Partick situation, he's only human.
I can totally understand how he felt after last season, I was gutted at our lack of extra budget mid season, we were clearly the only challengers to County last season until we could only bolster our squad with players of a lesser quality than we required, the same is happening this season, we've got a team that if added to correctly could take us to the top tier, ain't going to happen sadly.
I don't blame Lachlan for that, I'm all for spending what we can afford but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.
