I just don't know what to do with that so I will just laugh.



If I remember right we had a two games in Melburn over Xmas the other year and the boys stayed there.
We also had a midweek game in Wellington and then flew to Milburn instead of returning to Newy

Theres two examples that blow your theory out of the water. Both funded by Tinks.
Forget facilities, are we spending similar to other clubs on support and backroom staff. If we are not sufficiently resourced there compared to other clubs we will not be giving the players the dedicated support they need to do their best no matter how much we pump into the salary cap and marquees.

Spending isn't isolated to the playing roster. You need to spend to support the players, this is what we don't do and is probably a factor in why we have so many injuries all the time.

This is where we do need money and I believe we haven't been spending it. The Jets under tinker have been largely under resourced in terms of backroom support staff.
