So they had a contingency plan in mind if they weren't satisfied with the performance of the coach, so what? You think they should've told the players that? "If you boys go crap, which by the way we think you probably will, the coach will be out the door". Honesty doesn't come into it, it's just none of their business. That would've completely undermined the coach and been grossly unprofessional.
If they'd been winning Taylor would still be coach. There was nothing to tell the players until it reached the point that they were moving the coach on, or had agreed to terms with another coach for 2018 and beyond.
The playing group is junk
The reason is because we can't recruit and rely so heavily on "potential"
The reason we can't recruit is because we are a basket case off field
Yet we don't really change off field , it just blames coaches and players
And management just assume most fans at this club are fools
And if fans can't see this , management is most definitely RIGHT
Clearly we are an under performing club however the doomsday rhetoric becomes tiring :unamused:. Management don't assume us to be fools but make decisions at the time that they believe to be the best for the club. Of course they haven't all been correct.
However, off field, things have changed and are changing. As the CEO recently wrote….:
"We have lifted the bar with our match day experience and as a consequence had the highest average crowd of any Sydney Club last season.
We have lifted the bar with our Membership offering and communication to Members and last year had our highest ever Membership tally, with just under 15,000 committing to the Club. This year we’re on track to beat that number.
We have lifted the bar in our commercial department and commercial offerings and as a result have sold all of our major properties for 2017\. We’re building great partnerships with a wide range of organisations and that will continue to grow into the future.
We have lifted the bar in building the leadership capabilities of our players and improving the wider Club culture. We want our players to work together on and off the field and are giving them the tools to be able to do this and to be able to have honest discussions with each other about what is needed on and off the field to achieve success.
We have lifted the bar in the level of capability of our staff, we’ve built up our high performance department, we’ve increased our wellbeing offering from one staff to four and as a result are now ranked second in the NRL in this area.
We have lifted the bar in our community engagement and now offer more than 34 genuine programs in six pillars and are looked at as a leader in the game in this area. We don’t just want to play in the West – we want to be an important part of the West community and a contributor to the community.
And finally we’ve lifted the bar in what we expect our players to do on the field and what we expect our coaching staff to do off it."
In addition we now have a coach with full control of recruitment and retention and are well advanced in funding for a centre of excellence. Sure there is more to do but the times they are a changing....
So why are all our players leaving if the times are a changin MC
Course you'll tell me its the players who are the problem :blah :blah :blah
Three months time , when we are questioning why we haven't recruited any signings of note what then …...
