Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3644555, member: 9052"] We are most definitely a big club, probably the biggest in the comp, but I don't think we act like one... we seem very passive and reactionary. I guess it's that last part you talk about where we are seemingly happy to be pillaged, having to pay young guys overs to keep them based on potential, we don't really head hunt top line players (because our cap is seemingly always in the shit), etc. Even on the field we are very passive... we're not leading the comp in terms of tactics on the field and we don't even adapt to latest tactics because we seemingly want to be on the higher ground and play the game 'fair'... everyone in the comp dives but we don't... everyone in the comp is offside or pushing the limit in the ruck, but we constantly get run over and concede quick ptb's. I want this club to be ruthless because **** NSWRL and **** Sydney... back in the day our entire mantra was coming into their competition and owning it, which we did... nowadays we seem happy to pander to them. In terms of recruitment we seem to be paying too much on potential out of fear of losing them... that never used to be an issue for us. Harry Grant didn't start regularly playing for Storm until he was 22... Mozer is currently 20, but is he willing to bide his time. Sua Falago is signed until 2028, but what the hell is his pathway into first grade with Paps in front of him until at least next year. Those are the kind of examples we used to have. All the juniors that rorters are able to hoover up and keep in reserves until they bide their time, but ours seemingly can't wait and put pressure on us to start playing... need to be stronger and throw our weight around more. Willison might be a litmus test now that he's cemented himself as a top 17 player... will we succumb and give him a big payday (even though it's going to **** our cap even further), will he move clubs to get his big payday or will he bide his time for a bit in order to play for the biggest club in the comp?
