WT Ownership, The Board & Senior Management - MEGA Thread

[BAGNF05]

I disagree. With the COEs, the strong financial position and Pathways Programme, the foundations are in place for a long and successful future for the Club. Our Chair has overseen these off-field initiatives which imo are the most significant in the club's history. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it was our Chair who brought back Tim Sheens, the second last piece of the puzzle to be put in place.

No good having two gyms if the best footy players in the land don’t want a bar of them.

As for pathways. We are still just a feeder club until anyone actually goes from the system to become someone (in our jersey).

Your crystal ball is busted!

We have some of the best young talent in the NRL at our club. While it is in its infancy, the foundations are being built. All but one step now remains.

Pascoe? This thread says "front office stuff ups". It could be Pascoe, Grant Meyer, Humphries, Noycie, the membership guys, the lady who runs the jersey shop, marketing, sponsorship etc. etc.

If it floats your boat to list a litany of agreed or debatable errors of non-playing staff, by all means. Totally not constructive though.

People from this forum calling other people clowns is laughable

The coach who took us to a premiership and the second/third week of finals?

Because winning starts in the front office

Huh? So the front office is working well when we are winning but is useless when we are losing - is that the gist of what you are getting at?

I said nothing like that mate. Broncs were a rabble for at least 2 years, getting whipped by us more than once. Point is it can be turned around if the right people are making the big calls.

Yea but Ikin has nothing to do with their front office - He is football and performance manager - same as Sheens - maybe we should sack Sheens and chase Ikin.

We've consistently lost since 2011

No Club in any sport in the world, which is governed well, doesn't finish in the top half of their Competition 11 years in a row.

Miller the prop

Even if true, that is one player albeit disappointing. We have many good young players in that team and also the Balmain SG Ball team. Our future is through these pathways, COEs and additional staff much of which has been funded from the club.

Disappointing is a good word to describe our front office

If you listened to him on 360 you’d know that the Broncos don’t define roles like that. They collaborate for the betterment of the club. This “not my job” stuff is part of the problem I’d imagine.

We are always losing

Too much logic J - Sadly, Australia just elected a communist sympathiser, happy ending savant, with 33% 1st prefs and we are to believe that changing coaches for our nation will stop high petrol, food and housing costs overnight. We are a Nation of idiots thanks to the dumbing down of our education systems which are controlled currently by left-wing cartels. When it comes to footy - we are led by a media so intent on contriving controversy to fund stories that are so way over the top as to set narratives to run "he said she said" crap that we, the audience, have no idea of the truth! I used to love Australia but am becoming embarrassed by its dopieness.

Fact: Sack Madge we are dead for another 3 years. BTW Sheens will be 80 in 3 years. Maybe a bench 2/R if our cap is OK.!

Maybe not but it certainly gets rid of the corruption and the joke that was running the country. I detect some sour grapes.

I don't agree. Don't we have various staff in recruitment/retention?

 

[BAGNF05]

Or just continually whine and whinge.

Thanks for your contribution. Maybe try the rainbows and lollipops thread.

Last one was given the bullet because he failed. Another great Pascoe recruit.

Why dont you read what i was replying to.

Pathways programme and COE are weak arguments currently, when neither has produced Jack shit.

Well, that may be the case, but really the question in my mind is .. if we sack the coach will all our fantasies become reality? It just feels like more magic wand waving in the hope of rushing the process.

It might work on the fourth try 🤣

Seriously we now have Madge, Sheens, Kimmorley, Benji and Robbie in the club among others. Lots of rugby league educators there. If the club think coaching is the issue they are more dense than I suspect.

Fix your inability to sign and keep good players!!

Rightly or wrongly I have the feeling and agree with what people were saying in the 3 glory years that we made the top 8. That it was a combination of good coaching and players overachieving. We were a top 4 side in 2011 but 2012 saw continual noise of confrontation between Sheens and the board, until Sheens was sent packing.
It’s a worrying sign when the last review revealed a request from the board to have more say in football operations. It’s members of the board who sign off on everything isn’t it?
