Mark, please explain to me why if they are so business savvy, the club had no real succession plan with it's roster. Why did we need to run the team into the ground, before having to build it brick by brick from the ground up and have a 5 year plan. And please don't say back ended contracts, all we had to do was give players not wanted a chance to test the market while they still had market value.We agree on 99.99999% of occasions , but I disagree about the " can we do it again" deal, and the answer I'm thinking is yes we can!!
The Penn's need success, if they don't have it ( and soon) they'll walk away and we will be like Newcastle, owned by the NRL ( until the next TV deal at which point they'd relocate the licence).
The Penns are very savvy business people , they know success will mean a profit , so in spite of all the **** I believe it will happen.
I know I bang on BUT this is year 1 of 5, have patience it WILL happen!!
Bozo was really brought into this way too late. Bozo had a one year plan-he brought in some experienced players to succeed this year. He also only bought what was available, so throw in a rookie coach and VOILA!!! A recipe for failure. I do believe we can make it back, but not under PENNMANSHIP. They had a gold plated NRL team and culture, and it has fizzled lick a limp dick under their watch
