Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 3040550, member: 8315"] Unbelievable. I remember there was chatter when gambling companies suspended betting on the Melbourne Storm winning the wooden spoon. Something big was about to drop. It's a great observation, lynx. Why did Tim Sheens struggle at the Cowboys? Why do clubs like the Titans perpetually seem to struggle? One of the reasons I think is they are relatively new clubs with not much history - and most of that is of defeat. No identity. No success or victories to hang your hat on. Overshadowed by a bigger, more successful club from Brisbane. When Wayne Bennett returned in 2015 let's imagine him talking like Thanos. [I]"You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me."[/I] Let's amp it up a bit. Put it up to eleven. Have fun with it! Does Wayne Bennett get credit for having a hand in building a club from the ground up? Establishing a culture, values, a foundation built for sustained success? Consider this little gem of a story: Wally Lewis didn't think much of the original jersey. The King said it was a few months before he felt any pride it pulling it on. I think that original jersey is a thing of beauty but Wally's thoughts emphasise how hard it is to build something from scratch and have it be successful. Look at the Titans. John Cartwright. A rookie coach with a rookie club and a rookie team. Setting yourself up for failure really. Bellamy down at the Storm built them up to be bulletproof. He did a long apprenticeship at the Broncos and probably had his own ideas on how to refine and perfect things. Fun to think about. [/QUOTE]
