That's why we are shit
The accepting of mediocre as acceptable
There is nothing at all stopping anything coming out of Newy competing well above their weight
It's this piss poor attitude that is why our NRL A League or any other national comp teams are shit and continue to be so year in year out
Time we grew a chip on our shoulder and started sticking it to the big city teams
Yup, we are shit because we don?t have a chip on our shoulder. Not because there is no investment in infrastructure. Not because we still have a jobs for the boys mentality in positions of power. Not because parents are viewed as an ATM.
Teach the kids to be grubs and she?ll be right.
Just heard the summer 7s at the jets academy won't be running due to lack of numbers.
What a poor advertisement for the club. The so called pinnacle club of Newcastle can't attract enough interest to run a summer comp, when it was indicated via email to all of last year's pre-academy player that selection for next year would be heavily scouted via this tournament.
They only have themselves to blame tho, no advertisement or promoting done. Except one email to last year's pre-academy players and one Facebook post, on the jets academy page. And nothing on the Jets main page. Very poor effort.
Now I have to wait post Christmas to watch some competitive games.
As you said poor advertisement.
As for telling them selection for next year would be scouted via this tournament, maybe after this year parents woke up and realised that when the Jets talk about where there will select players from isn't true. No doubt a few U12 parents who saw players rock up to U13 trials and get selected for the U13 team that won't in the pre-academy after being told that to get into the U13 team you must be part of the pre-academy have spoken to others and they know it isn't true.
