You know what the real point is. It's not that we're experts or anything else. It's that we're the fans. We pay for this man's lively-hood - a very good one at that. And we aren't happy. The rumblings really began 4 years ago and since then, everything we've said we weren't happy with has continued and, in cases, gotten worse. I don't feel a part of this club any more.
The local boys have been f**ked off in favour of imports who fail - while our lads go on to bigger and better things - despite all of us being against it at the time.
One man controls our club while even the board know he should be gone - politics again taking precedence over the right thing to do.
Our coach - the man we pay - calls us "so-called fans". That's us who stood on a muddy hill in the freezing rain with imaginary 5k crowds. That's us who have seen one finals appearance in 10 years - missing something like 6 under the bloke who questions our quality as fans - while he takes home 100's of thousands of OUR dollars.
The main problem is, and we don't need to be experts to know this. The main problem is - we lose. It's not good enough. A club like Canterbury had a losing season. They brought in a guy with no first grade coaching experience, a few new players. And were it not for some dubious decisions by officials, they'd have topped the league. Beaten only by another club who, despite performing significantly better than us, also brought in a new coach.
I've had enough - i'd had enough a long time ago. I won't be buying a "membership" until the club is ours again. On a similar note - I'm almost inclined to buy a Souths membership to help them in the race to 10k. Just because they are doing the right thing... while our club struggles.
