Mark Arena needs to be honest and show some transparency

I think now is the time for Wildcats owner Mark Arena to approach the media and provide members and fans who spend way too much on memberships and tickets and tell us what his plan is for the club moving forward. Give us some reassurance that his sinking ship is going to improve somehow.

I feel there is so much going on behind the scenes and nothing is happening except the club continuing to go backwards. Both in performance and public perception.

We are 6 games into the season now. Fans have been patient all off season and its time he told us what's going on. The management are way too silent on so many things, yet they continue to charge so much for fans to support the team.

If I was putting millions into the club and then watching those last two games I would have had Rillie and Mills in the office the next working day to read the riot act.

There is clearly no more Bryce to cover for Rillie's coaching. I cant see it getting better any time soon.

Mark Arena's analogy on Bryce Cotton on a recent small obscure WA podcast "front and centre"

"The question, it's not binary, do you want Bryce Yes or No question? It's how do we put a team together in the best way to win a championship?

Just like budgeting of your house. If you know, you got a certain amount of budget you have to pay, you then suddenly go "I'm going to blow $1000 on a weekend bender", that's going to impact everything.

And if you look at the last two years, the teams that have won, you know Illawarra and Tassie, they've won, and at the start of the season didn't have an out and out superstar."

The fact was, we had Bryce, for a big number of years and was so great for the club, but that's the decision you have to look at. Do you want to bring him back at a higher number and that impacts how much you can spend for the whole team.

The reality is, if we came to a number, we would have been going in with a team around him worst than last year. And we weren't able to get the job down with him then."

Arena's logic is sound if you had Vickerman or Roth as a coach. Is Chase Buford Free ?
