Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3368823, member: 9853"] You're demanding some kind of slave-like fealty to the club, who - in the eyes of many players - have acted very shabbily over the last few years, going back to the treatment of Wayne Bennett. You might even wonder who the club is, given it's had a complete overhaul since then. Is it Karl Morris and News Corp? We tried to bulk poach the Melbourne Storm, including their coach and captain, and managed to pinch their CEO. We promised the captaincy to Payne (never going to happen), Patty (might happen) and God knows who else, probably Tom Dearden at one stage. Kotoni got baited and switched with a promise of playing 5/8th (never going to happen), etc. We were the laughing stock of the league when Boyd was lying on the ground watching tries being scored. Then we became pathetic. The club has everything to prove right now. It's coming off a wooden spoon, which could easily have extended into last year. We've had serious money issues. And players who were touted as the "future of the club" like Tom Dearden weren't even offered contracts. Popular characters like Lodge, Macca and TPJ got horsetraded amidst furious denials. And we sacked a coach we'd only just poached from Souths, amid a hullabaloo of weird sex rumours. The club has been rotten to the very core, and is still yet to deserve respect. Some of us see signs we're beginning to earn it, but we're the optimists. It's a wonder Payne hasn't already jumped ship. Let's give him credit to be one of the few still clinging to the mast.
