It is not an ideal situation for the club especially as they deal with other recent controversies.

At the end of last season only three of their top 30 attended the end of season awards at the club.

Meanwhile, there was a recent scrap between players at a training session in front of fans which has sparked widespread discussion.

Furthermore, the club has suggested a controversial name change which would end the harmony between the two clubs who came together to form this side with the Illawarra part of the name potentially being dropped in the near future.
