It’s in reply to us apparently magically shaking off our tag of being an undesirable destination, due to things like it being almost impossible to play Origin at our club. This has been an issue for 25 years. We have the lowest Origin turnout outside of the Warriors. Yet somehow that’s going to suddenly change. I can’t see it happening personally. Just being realistic. This club has a stench a mile long. Untouchables.
I feel the Club isn't perceived as a "high performing centre" like many other teams.
I feel we get individual coming here for their own selfish reasons, trying to do their own things.
At the end, any team is an accumulation of individuals, but I don't see them all working together.
I don't see a good shape, I don't see us working as a defensive unit. It's individual brilliance like To'a or Galvin doing something.
Individual players just see us as a stepping stone towards something. It's not a bad thing either. Individuals should come here with their personal goals, but they all want to "prove something" rather than just contribute to the club in the best way they can. We just seem to attract players like that.
Say what you want about Gus, but 3 years ago, he bought a bunch of utilities who bilieved in his vision and contributed to the Club first. They didn't care about how they're perceived outside of the Club and just wanted to play for their coaches and prove to them they belong in the NRL.
Just spewing some thoughts out there, no idea if it makes sense.
