With the salary cap, draft etc designed to keep the competition even between clubs, we need to get $$$$$ to the levels of the interstate clubs to become a powerhouse.
$$$$$ will enable us to compete with the other clubs in the following ways.
1. Recruitment. We have the smallest budget for recruiting. This is changing but to recruit the best players and pick out the best players in the draft we need to spend more and more.
2. Player Development/Teaching. Getting the best possible players is not enough. New players need to be taught and coached. We need to have more assistant fulltime coaches working with the players 40 hours per week on their skills.
3. Fitness. More fitness staff or even the very best fitness trainers to ensure that we are the fastest and fittest team.
4. Strength training. Develope the weeds into steel. We may have staff involved in this but do we need more or do we need the very best!
5. Medical department. Having the best youngsters, fully developed and strong and fit and fast is not enough unless we can ensure that they are injury free. No more debacles like Nathan Brown, or even Ray Hall? This could be the only area, in the present stage, in which we may be compettive with the other teams.
Naturally the only way to achieve these is with more and more $$$$$. If we are to succeed we need to be able to generate more $$$$$.
