Thought I might start a topic on winning culture within clubs.
Not to rub it in that the Sharks have an empty cabinet, But to find out if there is such thing as a winning culture or is it just a matter of good managment and luck.
Here is an article that demonstrates a winning culture from one of the most succesfull clubs of the last 40years.
Barry Nelson in 1990 said:
"We are planning again, based on a formula that worked for us in the past - a plan based on youth and the Bulldog spirit.
"We at Canterbury are embarking on a program that we feel is not only in the best interests of the club but one that will continue to make us one of the game's most successful clubs.
"In the late 1970s, we began a youth program which produced such notables as the Mortimers and Hughes brothers, George Peponis, Greg Brentnall, Stan Cutler, Chris Anderson and so many others.
"We invested in these players and the dividends were still being paid more than a decade later. They became young men dedicated to our Bulldog cause.
"As The Bulldog Story makes clear, there is much to live up to. Our men of the past have donethis club proud, and I don't mean just the players and committeemen. I mean all those men and women who have given so much time and heart and soul to making Canterbury achievers.
"For the modern Bulldogs, it is time to remember. This is a proud club, as The Bulldog Story relates. In the modern era, we have been winners, but it was not always so and it must be remembered that this book is as much for those who did not win premierships as those who did.
"I can only add that the story of the Bulldogs will never end. There is still much to achieve. We look with pride at our past and hope in our future. I honestly believe our timing is right ... again."
