Contributing to it, how exactly?

By validating that it's OK to abuse people because it's a player and that's the way the world is.
I'm not saying you are abusing anyone

It was not the sort of post I would have expected from you, if your not having a go why post it on this thread.
I am big boy now and well aware of the "nasty world" we live in, as if that validates your comments.

His sons a grown man and a professional sportsman, if he couldn't hack the criticism then it’s best that he left isn’t it.'"
Think you'll find - in all honesty - that Jordy was getting stick nearly all the time for performing and doing his best compared to some of the others in the team and actually taking pride in wearing the RW&B.
Think your post is extremely harsh and narrow minded.

| Always got on ok with BLM, on here and face to face.
Although he's not the best 13 in the world, and there are some out there that have a creative spark to their game, I'll be disappointed if he does go. He's a lad who always gives 100%, and that will be two like that, we have lost in 12 months, yet we have some players, who at times, look like they couldn't care less.
It's players like him that we should be keeping.
Hopefully, a fresh pair of eyes will see things differently, in terms of player recruitment and retention.

| I'm sure players expect criticism if they haven't played well and this site is one of those where supporters can air their views about players and express criticism.
Problem is, as with FB and other social media sites, some gutless, cowardly keyboard warriors go one step further hiding behind their anonymous status and remarks do get personal, from contributors who probably wouldn't dare say it face to face.

Can live in hope, but I can think of more than one person.

| Jordan is a great lad and totally committed when he plays and always was as a junior. A squad of 13 JCs would now have some points on the table. Shedding Batch, Aydin, Hall and Murphy ( plus Miller, Fifita, Arona, Toupou, Johnstone) is a hard pill to swallow. Ripping the guts from the team has ripped the guts from fans.
Heart and commitment often improve a player’s contribution and fan’s perception and enjoyment. Watching a team give 100% is all we can ask. If ever there was a moment to trash your legacy, this is it. This is a mess to put it mildly.

Absolutely and even with those players, we finished 10th, something we wont manage this season.
Our aspirations now are not to be nilled and to hope that another club goes bust.

Why try and rewrite what happened?
The only one you could possibly say we 'shed' is Hall.
Fifita, Arona and Tupou retired.
Johnson and Murphy went to bigger clubs for bigger offers.
Batch wanted to go to further his career. He'd already made that clear the year before by only accepting a 1 year contract. Ayden followed him on agent advice.
Possibly, we could have retained Miller but I didn't see that many arguing at the time.
And I absolutely love Crowther's commitment and energy on the field but to say 13 of him would have points shows you are just writing words for the sake of it. He has no real attack so we'd have no points unless we drew them all 0-0.
If you'd said the current team having his heart....then I might agree.

You're missing the point re. those players who have left, and all the others' over the last 4 years, players leave clubs obviously for differing reasons. The point is, who we have replaced them with. Since 2019 we have signed roughly 35 to 40 new players, without loanees. I reckon we've had about 10 if we are lucky who have actually been decent. MC misses the point when he says, i'm not gonna spend money we don't have, I agree, I don't want us to bankrupt ourselves. The point is, the money we have spent has generally been wasted, we had no money in 2017 & '18, but spent wisely on players like Grix, England, Finn, BJB etc.
As re. Crowther, I echo a lot that's been said, he's whole hearted and committed, but he's nearly been playing for 10 years, and I don't think he's progressed, his game hasn't developed, but in his defence, he probably hasn't played week in week out enough, and he hasn't had great coaching......
