I don't know if TB is the issue to any perceived problems.
The players seem to want to play for him.
He says all the right things (mainly) to the media and fans.
He has had a few seasons now where he has been hamstrung by the cap/squad/NRL/excuses/etc.
My issue is with Penn.
He is a vanilla politician who happens to wear a maroon and white tie.
Nothing but drama and political bullsht since he got total control, which, if I recall correctly, was all meant to end with the one owner solution.
Seems like it has been a never ending circus since tbh, and there is 1 common denominator.
I would hate to see how they would play if they weren't playing for him. This team has no discipline. No structure. The squad has no culture or passion.
Experiment with Trent is over. Sack him. Toovey got sacked for less. His persistence with underperforming players like Uate and Croker is astounding. Even Jake turbo looks awful. Something is rotten. Dce should be in blacktown not Hastings. Garbage the lot of them.
