Players leaving or being forced out, whatever reason, it is going to have a long term effect on the club. Its not how we perform in the next 10 years, its the supporter base for the future. In the last 5/6 years my children's favourite player has gone from, Gordon to Lewis, Lewis to Jennings, Jennings to Soward Soward to Segeyaro, Segeyaro to Moylan now Moylan to Cleary... How are kids supposed to build a trusting relationship with the club when the club are a bunch of deceitful, unloyal pricks.. How can they build a lifetime bond with a club if they dont have heros in the club?? I try and push my kids to support Penrith but honestly it doesnt even seem worth it the way things are going.
For the first time in years i havent bought a membership, i dont feel like wasting 5-600 dollars on an organisation that i have no faith will keep the same playing group together or maybe even one day sign a top quality player, all the angst isnt just the Cartwright release its the 10-15 guys prior.
The tactics/coach are pathetic, retention is disgusting, game day is boring, seriously what is there to look forward to.....
