Da f**k is going on there?
Whatever the root of the problem is, I hope they get on top of it and fast. We've gone from premiership contending team to goodness-knows how far down the ladder we're going to fall to this coming season on the back of whatever this problem is.
And as others have said regarding women coming together, I have seen both sides of it. I work in a mostly female line of work and have been at my workplace for 20yrs, so I certainly have seen women backstabbing, gossipping, tearing eachother down over, basically, nothing. Especially if, as is often the case, another female is in charge. Plenty of women are vocal about female empowerment, ect, but that goes out the window when it's their own workplace..!
The other side of it, in my experience, comes from my many years involved in my footy club, both on the ground as sports trainer / runner and in roles of club authority. Our women's teams, while there can be the odd person here or there that is offside with the rest of the group, I've generally seen them a unified group and work together. Largely due to the coach, I have to say. They'll either gel them together or they will collectively not like the coach and that unifies them that way.
Mostly, sadly, I find the first scenario to be the much more common one, based on my observations. If that's the story at the Knights, then I hope coach learns how to unify them and treats it as a high priority, otherwise we're going to keep bleeding quality players and be fighting not to win wooden spoons.
