You can bring that straight from the board down through the coaching to the playing group. When cowboys won their first in 2015 everyone sort of said "good on them" and felt indifferent about them at worst. Nobody did that with Cronulla. Why? The culture is shot. Flannagan has proven he will do anything in his power to cheat his way to success, steroids, salary cap (allegedly), destroying the ruck and offsides, and then point the finger at Bellamy for being a cheater. one week in the press conference he laughs about a game changing call that went his way, says it all evens itself out. The next week you guys get dudded and he's sooking in the conference and papers for a week. Luke Lewis spent all of 2016 and 17 offside and leaving early. Look at any of his intercepts. He is way gone before the ball is even played. Fifita, abusing referee's at kids games, fkl, pointing at his coach, going on a rampage on a podcast. Gallen having the biggest mouth of any player yet sooking that papalii was picking on him. Then they immediately burn bridges with Holmes, why? Because ego.
It's a f**king shit show, it's no wonder why nobody wants their company associated with the place. I feel sorry for you genuine supporters who are helpless to watch your club go down the f**kin toilet, albeit with your number 1 fan, buzz, smashing nail by nail into the coffin because it'll fund another bottle of Aldi wine.
