And according to DCE, 5 straight losses to finish last year, doesn't matter? Tell you what, say that to blokes (winners) like Terry Hill, Owen Cunnigham, Matt Ridge, Steve Menzies, Geoff Toovey, Ian Roberts, Steve Matai & the like, and he'd probably be earning himself a right royal slap upside the head. I see why now B Stewart, Choc & Matai were on a different page to him - they were just winners, and nothing else mattered.
You tell The Melbourne Storm players 5 straight losses don't matter in PRE-****ING season, and see the damned response you get.
Sorry DCE, you're embracing mediocrity there. That's not what 1.2 mill per season players say or think. We need to bring back the arrogant, we are better than everyone else, winning is the only thing that matters mentality.
The problem for us, is we have too many drones like Winterstein, Taufua, DCE, Koroisou, Myles, Brown that just don't care, until payday.
What DCE doesn't realise, is while Trent named him captain, it's actually HIS fault to a large degree why the pressure is on.
And if Bozo can't cop criticism for not acquiring an appropriate 9, when we already had Parcell, and to a lesser degree Buhrer, then he's in the wrong job.
I'm completely unsurprsied that memberships, crowd numbers, and merchant sales are down on projections. No passion in the place anymore apart from a few champions like The Turbo's.
