Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3099946, member: 8215"] Until they can string a couple of finals' appearances together in a row, they won't attract anything but steeled League fans who have lived on the coast long enough to remember the Seagulls & Giants. With their demographic, luring Hayne was a good idea that turned out badly. He was an elite when he left, even after bulking up, he should have been dangerous on his return, but short of effectively beating the Storm on his own in one game, he'd lost what made him so good - passion. He gave a shit about the Eels so he was motivated to perform. For the Coast, he was nothing but a mercenary - I have a sneaking suspicion the NRL had a hand in facilitating his signing with the Coast - and it was obvious he didn't give a shit about them. They should have learned from it. Instead, they followed that up with bad ideas that would always end badly. Peachey and Cartwright, who are very talented players but both absolute morons. At least Peachey puts in some effort, and his high-risk high-reward style can look good for a game or two a season. But Cartwright is just a gutless, lazy, disinterested player. Both are style over substance, and the Titans paid way more than they were worth, and are indicative of everything wrong with how the Titans are run. So I completely agree. The need to build a grinding team in order to be taken as anything but a spoon-level team that only exists because the NRL want them to. Arrow was the type of player they needed, even at a decent price, so it's a massive loss for them. They need to buy a bunch of solid, defence-geared forwards to balance the powder-puff flash that they've blown their load over. [/QUOTE]
