Seems to be a lot of hope that buying players from top clubs brings success
the best clubs are the best because of there leaders, not there followers. The followers play an important role but they do not set the standards or culture, they adhere to it. The followers are always on the market, the leaders rarely
Buying these fringe players and expecting tnem to inspire those standards in our team or others that already have a strong leadership group is wildly hopeful and somewhat unrealistic
the roosters got cronk and it was the big move that achieved results because of who he was, not where he came from, where brandon smith, not so much as an example, expensive spine players from melbourne coached by bellamy dont bring success, the leaderships and standards do
our leadership group need to set the standards higher and while some skill and grunt would be handy acquisition to our style and results we are not going to replace culture without a multi million dollar turnover in our cap,
so wether we buy from the tigers, or the riff, the outcome in the standard manly set, stays the same unless we change our leadership group with a better one, or overnight they become more ruthless and resilient
we constantly wish fringe players, youth and fringe money will shape our established mindset . It wont
a front rower wont stop us from blowing 22 or 30 point leads or giving up soft late tries by the dozen unless he is the team alpha that demands more from the players around him, and at manly can you realy see that happening. Its a nice steady set up at manlys leadership , everyone knows there place it seems .very public service looking from afar.
the riff and storm can buy from ipswich because they have the standard in place, the culture. Its not about a spine .
our culture/standard isnt where it needs to be . Its that simple really and buying all of penriffs fringeys wont change much
