Player Dylan Walker

[Wah's Up]

This may be his best ever year. Walker is all class

 

[Inruin]

Why do we need to create a new culture? Wasn't it good enough to begin with?

If last seasons results and the comments around JFH lifting the intensity at training then perhaps it wasn't.

If people = culture then new people = new culture.

I just hate when players throw these buzzwords around, it makes you wonder sometimes.

Maybe the bad buzz was AFB vs SJ?

We are connected better than ever before! Yeah you are are you?!!!

Fucken show it then!

No doubt there were bad eggs last year, but get on with it, fans need and deserve more.

Yep we can't hang onto the past.

No doubt Dylan Walker is a GC, one of my favorite recent recruits, but the more I hear players having to talk about culture and connection, makes me think there is a problem that they are trying to talk themselves out of.

This is the very worst part of the pre-season

Round 1 is close enough that I now need to pay attention to these fluff PR pieces in the vain hope there might be some snippet of valuable information.

These articles are much easier to ignore in Dec / Jan!

People are reading to much into the fluff pieces.

Saying about the great new culture is the same as saying it’s the ‘toughest preseason ever’.

Just hype and building interest in how prepared the team is rather than aimed at past problems.

To be fair, most sports journalism is very thin these days.

Off topic but I recall my Sister messaging me asking if I had seen the article of Wayne Bennett talking us up.

All I could think of was "well what do you expect him to do, roll up to Mt Smart and tell all and sundry his team is going to smash us" - which they did

If Fish comes and things improve

If Addin leaves and improves

If we check our premiership trophy cabinet.

We still haven't nailed everything for an entire season. If it's culture then ok.

But yeah if we have amazing props shitting their pants because of getting huffy, something has room to improve.
