Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3418616, member: 9052"] It was always going to be a delicate situation when we decided to go back to market for recruitment. Whoever is intended to be brought in has to fit in with the culture that is being developed at the club. They're instilling a bit of a siege mentality where they as a group are looking to achieve and become successful without needing outside help. That mindset eventually leads to development of a leadership group and accountability policed by the playing group, which is what the storm have. I don't necessarily think we are there yet in having a playing group that will keep each other accountable, so bringing in any sort of ego has potential to upset the apple cart... alternatively losing a player that is well liked across the playing group for a new blow-in has potential to cause discontent as well. Already we are flagging the possibility that Herbie might up stumps and head over to Dolphins to get an opportunity. There's a number of players being flagged as not getting retained to make room for Walsh's contract. If players within the playing group are mates with those being moved on or they deem the guy coming in for them won't be able to contribute to the same level, then it can cause discontent. I hope that we have a strong enough leadership group forming that it can withstand a bit of churn across the roster, but there is a risk that we upset the status quo. [/QUOTE]
