I’m not really surprised…

Pretty simple for some…

Build a club that good players want to go to & stay at.

It starts in admin and pathways. Finishes in high performance - too many clubs heavily focus on high performance without a strong pathway or admin support.

Think about it this way.

You’re an elite player who is smart enough to know that you’re only gonna be a footballer - that’s it (your only other employable skill might be day labouring). If your lucky your gonna play for 10, maybe 15 years at the top level.

What’s the decision you make:

1. Play for a club that pays 10-40% less, know that you’ll be less likely to suffer that career ender due to making less tackles & clubs have a higher opinion of you.
2. Play for the higher dollar, get pumped every second game and statistically lower your chances of playing longer due to making more tackles & opinion of you dropping.

Could you not see that my post was deeply sarcastic?

I hope we get a re-signing announcment on Brooksy soon. That'll cheer us all up.

Next best situation other than Munster Signing with us was him resolving it early, means we are not playing the waiting game until right up until we get left at the alter. Also happy that the Fins are shouldering most of the press for "missing out" instead of us.

9 news reported last night Seibold and Hannay being looked at as options to coach at Manly. According to 9 news, players have allegedly been told to tone down their praise of Des. DCE cops a lot of flak be he stood up for Des in his interview so well done.

I read somewhere that Hannay wasn’t interested in the Manly position because of the political BS there atm.

Maybe the pigeon didn’t get the message to Braith???

what a circus that is. Hasler shouldn't be blamed in any capacity for what happened over there this year. he is the only reason they managed to come out with any credibility post-pride saga. any team would struggle without their best player, not to mention a complete debacle overseen by their admin with the jerseys that Hasler and DCE had to clean up entirely by themselves.

We should use the Munster money to get Desi and the Turbos.

 

[Cobarcats]

Can we get a poll going to change the name ?

You can start one for a laugh

Herbie pls

Surely nobody really thought Munster would join Tigers. Dolphins only had a look-in because of the QLD connection. Munster made all the right moves to extract top dollar from Melbourne, and given also his history of off-field peanut incidents, probably a good move for him to stay in Melbourne.

JUST WONDERING HAVE WE MADE ANY SIGNING ANNOUNCEMENTS THIS WEEK?

NO AND NO PUBLIC APOLOGIES AS YET.

Maybe they should check his garage to see if there’s a new Jayco caravan in it.

The caravan is in the driveway, the boat and the new Land Cruiser are taking up all the space in the garage.

Melbourne know how to operate like Nick at East.
They have outbidded the Dolphins.

DOLPHINS OFFERED
5.6 MILLION FOR
4 YEARS.
But Storm outbid them with a massive,

FOUR MILLION DOLLARS FOR 4 YEARS ??????

Try 4.8 million

 

[batboy]

Wake up to yourself
Qld, Bennett and half the Dolphins cap couldn't even get him to turn.
- He stayed at the club he's come through at, With blokes he's played most of his career with and a coach he's played ALL of his career with...

He's basically done exactly what 3/4 of this Forum bag Tedesco relentlessly for NOT doing.

27 of them over at Paul Vaughn's place for a barby, but you would need to look over the back fence, behind the lounge and under the bed to account for all of them.

So 16 clubs missed the opportunity to sign Munster but apparently to the wrist slitters on here we are the only incompetent club for not breaking the rules and doing illegal deals under the table.

Defending the club?
Pull the wooden spoon out Ur ass and think about it.
We finally got a decent 9, bit of talent in the 2nd row and were stuck with a # steering us around🙄
Top 8 nxt yr with Munster.
Now looks like you'll have another spoon to join it

I don't give a tin shit about other clubs.
