I think this question is driving us all a bit crazy. It seems that solid first graders, all the way up to marquee players simply don't want to play for Tigers, and once our juniors establish themselves as NRL quality they leave at the first opportunity.
I simply cannot find a reason why:
1. Lack of on-field success - players are keen to play for plenty of clubs when they are struggling, which is probably why other clubs are quicker to get out of the dumps and into finals. The fact that Latrell Mitchell would rather play for GCT than us says a lot
2. Inept management - was a massive issue for us in the past but since Pascoe we have clearly gotten our shit together
3. Culture - again, was a huge issue in the past but by all reports the club culture is among the most positive in the NRL
4. Training Facilities - players spitting the dummy because of training facilities are shithouse doesn't seem to be a problem for Manly
5. Coach - We've had this problem under 4 different coaches. I thought maybe the fact the coach keeps changing is the issue but apart from only a handful of clubs the coaches coming and going is normal
6. Off field drama - Ha! No f**king way this is the problem
7. Location - We are based in Sydney ffs, how could this be the issue when
Is there something the players see that we can't see?
