dont come back when the team is good againI am definitely downgrading to a non ticketed membership next year. I refuse to put myself through the pain of attending games when there is no hope
off course my point is they should be preventing these problems not allowing them to happen.
Well I think we technically haven’t breached the cap. Numerous clubs make minor breaches every year, I don’t think the NRL is involved in overseeing the details of contracts. Only in special circumstances
Whatever man, I don't mind supporting us when we lose, but this current situation is appalling. Just look at the crowd numbers anyway, they are WAY down so you basically think most fans are shit fans.
Most fans are shit fans, its a ridiculous culture that exist in Australia and especially sydney to only go watch your team play when they are going well
generally agree but i will say, i don't think we should even have been able to sign a contract with foz and woods until we were cap compliant.
Not really like most of us we have probably spent our fare share on memberships merch and what not over the years, im not the only one here who is probably ready to give up on the nrl altogether so whats better someone giving up altogether and never giving the dogs another cent , or someone backing of for a while having a break for a few months a year or whatever then pumping more money into a club. Its been well over a decade since our last victory and we are still here in some way or another thats hardly being a shit fan.
You’re not a shit fan
i understand the club is responsible and have never said otherwise. if the NRL makes sure we are cap compliant then i must be on another planet. We are in a mess because they make sure we are cap compliant so basically they wait till we breach the cap and then its too late. Why not prevent this from happening?? saves everyone distress. I have no issue at all with what your saying just i would prefer to prevent a heart attack then wait for one to hit me.
The NRL should have flagged us on it
What no name side in the early 2000's? We got done for the salary cap in '02. We still had some stars back then. Mason, SBW and Thurston then came along. This is way different. We rarely went 2 years without contending since the late 70's. Not many lean periods like this. After this year that will be 2 years out of the finals and realistically 4 years without contending. That number could go as high as 7 or 8 years. We need to be very careful that we just accept a slow rebuild. Rebuilds don't have to be slow, they can be done much quicker with the right people in charge. Lets hope Anderson and crew are those right people.
I don't recall seeing anyone say its Pay's fault. But don't let the truth get in the way of what you might think is an amusing post.
Journos do that to get big headlines for AD clicks. Sometimes yes they are right in terms of players moving clubs (they had Reynolds/Graham/Mbye/Woods all correct) but in terms of the cap its almost always exagerrated. If they really did know, then that means they know the clubs caps in more detail than the actual NRL....which is obviously wrong.
I don't agree. Its not the losing that fans dislike its the style of play for one, and the fact we just let go of some of the favourite players in the club all at once. The exodus is mind boggling. Hard to engage in the way we play. I would cop it if we were an exciting team to watch and were getting beat. But going to the game (and I haven't been to many this year) I know what we will dish up. A little like the Socceroos, its like we play to not lose.
Ok give me your 17 to play this week with our shit roster.
Stop blaming the nrl. Why arent other clubs crying about this same situation? Our club alone did this. It's called greed. They went all out to win and save their jobs and they lost. Now we the fans have to pay.
2008 rebuild didnt take long
That was Greenburg. I know we won the spoon in '08 but we didn't have salary cap issues. Therefore we just went out and bought Kimmorley, Ennis, Hannant, Stagg and co.
