Does this club need the spoon

[Snake]

Finishing mid table every year IMO has aided the growth of mediocrity within the whole organisation. Maybe the spoon needs to be added to the trophy case to finally shock all from the board room down for the actions required to reboot this organisation!

It needs relocation, so all the players that are comfortable living in Sydney and collecting their pay week in week out will not be keen to follow.

Brisbane Tigers and West Coast Magpies. Burn the place to the ground.

 

[Speed2burn]

Would probably rather the spoon than finish 9th. We are a meme in the entire nrl community for finishing 9th

 

[rustycage]

No, we don't need the spoon. We need to move on losers and bring in winners

 

[Hangonaminute]

Yes, we needed the spoon about 5 years ago

Would have been nice to get it over and done with instead of suffering every year wondering if this is going to be the year.

"Winning" the spoon would only motivate players that feel disgraced by winning the spoon.

How long would they be motivated for. Going by the Wests Tigers' gene mentaility of past years the team would be happy to finish second last in the year after they win the wooden spoon.

I have been one of the people who has expressed a similar viewpoint in the past. I would much prefer that the club stay in Sydney and build a power base in the South West, but this has not happened for twenty one years now. Can anyone see this changing? There has been some good recruitment of younger players, but I fear we are still the poor cousin of the Sydney teams. Yes - I could see a really bright future as the Wests Tigers relocated to Perth.

Been saying this for a long time. Continually finishing just outside the 8 creates the impression that we are "almost there" and that a bit of squad tinkering and the addition of one or two players will turn us into genuine competition challengers when in reality we are a million miles away from that.

Spoons lead to proper clear outs, I mean scorched earth clear outs where only a few players remain and let's be honest there are only a few players, maybe half a dozen, in our current roster who would survive this.

We got beat up by a Warriors player on loan, he played with more grit and determination than any of our players and he wasn't even representing his own club.

Let that sink in

I was worried about this. Players with nothing to lose aswell as playing for a contract

Don't see how getting the spoon would be an impetus for change...

The club could sell signed spoons and make a buck or two !

Never thought I’d say this but we need to consider another merger or relocate.

We’ve rotated CEOs, chairman, coaches, players but the same failures are happening. This is a failed organisation.
