Uncertainty is the biggest killer of productivity in any work place.
And frankly that's all on the club and in particular the football department.
Shit coaching and I mean really shit coaching and player retention decisions have lead to where the club is with a dispirited and uninterested playing group.
Also we can all see a lot players who the club as let go because their form with us was terrible have got gigs at other clubs with a stronger roster and are playing 1st grade and look much better than when they played with us.
I keep saying we are not going to "recruit" our way out of the shit we are in. Any good player in the market is going to have clubs crawling all over him.
Burton looks good, JAC is great. We need a quality 9 and two big middle forwards.
But how much money is available for the 15 players?
Watching NRL 360 last night they were saying Cronulla has 4 million available next season and they don't need to recruit 15.
Yes but Sharks also have a number of players off contract that they probably need to up deals for.
But anyway I don't think we need to go out and try recruit the best player on the market, then we will still be top heavy. We need to focus on fixing the junior development of the team, we have the talent there we are just not doing anything about it.
I would much rather us invest the time and money into someone like Jackson Topine than to go try and sign a big name player.
Might take a few years to get back to where we need to be, but it'll mean we'll be back there for the long run.
