I've been pretty adamant that players alone are not to blame for this fiasco.
This year and this performances have been a long time coming and I don't think we have hit rock bottom yet.
But, players generally tend to do better once they leave or are better before they sign. Most of the players that we have now or have had in the last few years would consider their time at the Tigers one of the lower points in their careers.
Do you think the environment has just become too toxic, too negative, too unprofessional and just too mentally draining for the players? We are all waiting for someone to lead by example but are they being given the right S&C, the right coaching, the right mental strengthening to compete week in and week out?
I feel if you ask 100 current and past players, they'd say they have been let down by the off-field staff.
Even with the off-field staff, we have changed our Board twice, chairmen, 3x, CEO 3x and Head Coach 7x since we last made the Finals.
Not at all saying the players are faultless, but I think the toxicity has been created by others.
The word culture gets thrown around a lot but how do we change it? A couple of signings are going to cut it. For me, the issue is the front office unprofessionalism. There are so many examples of their stuff ups that how can you expect the players to be professionals when the company's so disjointed and unorganised?
Let's hope Sheens can work some magic and make us a little more competitive next season so we can build on it. I, however think next year will be worse.
