You would hope so, although i'm not even sure what that brand is anymore. It doesnt feel like a club that represents its fans, an area or a philosophy.
The disgusting part about this is it has been self inflicted just when on field and off field performances were improving.
I am not sure what your original point was
No it’s run worse.
The point was about the leaks. It is clear from what is being reported in the media that someone at the club has already started to set the conditions for the next potential move. It may not occur but sewing the seeds has already affected the team and the coaching staff. It started the minute Richo left the joint.
They cant be quarantined from the perspective of not hearing about the mess that's been deliberately created, but they can insulated from the worst of its direct effects by careful mentorship.
If you think he left because of this why do you think he shouldve stayed a few more weeks over the festive season doing nothing? Or steadying the ship...how can he do that.
HBG: "How do we start another rebuild if the players don't leave?"
Maybe not Richo's exit on its own, even though im sure there are some personal relationships there, but the overall chaos and embarassment, the constant media and online commentary, I think it could effect morale in the group.
If we hover around the same spot on the ladder or go down, the justification is there to move him along.
My personal belief is, one of the factors in his leaving was to give emphasis. to the NRL, the dire situation the WT's are in. Not just a board matter, he brought it closer to the playing group, and therefore closer to NRL interests in the hope of involving PVL.
Exactly. Put in an offer then do it up.
As some suggest, we shrug our shoulders and new CEO, players, coach and board shouldn't impact the on field results at all. No point in getting upset right?
