My opinion obviously differs and I can only ascribe fault of us receiving the wooden spoon to the gradual decline of the NRL team, due to the poor collective effort from management, over a number of years.
We've suffered every pitfall there is and have been idly sitting on our hands to further avoid them, but it's created delegated or cross-cutting decision making that causes limited involvement or input and an inability to successfully address the real issues.
This IMO has only amounted to a culture of low accountability that has seemingly seeped down to the team.
How is Sheens or anyone else going to steer this sinking ship?
His appointment now resets our strategic planning and while his high-stake decisions may produce short-term pain it's however more focused on the long-term consequences, overall goals of the club and also promotes accountability.
His managerial decisions have helped define the standards, concise roles and responsibilities of everyone within the organisation. His statements about the plans for the direction of the team have set individualised objectives that are now completely measurable on the delivery of the performance/services (of everyone) for the club only.
The development of the pathways program obviously shows they've learned from their mistakes and failures with neglecting this area. Don't agree with the emphasis on it, but it better establishes expectations on the team's progression and growth. But most importantly creates a talent pool of juniors for the NRL team.
I'm way past the blame game and have accepted we've met our fate. So while I may not support every decision from them I still look forward to see how we turn things around.
