Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The club is a public relations nightmare, big mouths, lunatic mothers, brawling players, criminal charges, the list goes on !
Our right about that. Probably because it's a one team town. Their egos are bloated that much.

Newcastle is the same.
 
Yes, sadly yes.
Everyone has to be a FULLBACK, Halfback or 5/8 so their manager can ask for a 800k min paypacket. 🙁

So wrong on so many levels. IMHO AD would be more inclined to centre if the pay was not the problem.

Personally, I liked a good playmaker center. Jamie Lyon/GI/SKD/Jennings did it, Gaznier/Cooper did it for St George. If everyone drives everything out of halfback we get clone teams.

Guys like Brian T'oo may never be a good Fullback. Still incredibly destructive on the wing.
can't a super center get paid more than a ok half?
 
Even if you pay me $1m, I will still be incapable of running 100m in under 10 seconds. Cos I'm fat, 65 with a gouty knee. Herzberg's Hygiene factors apply - it's a business model reality:
  • pay. If you don't pay enough I won't play enough.
  • quality of supervision. The coach & staff must be top-notch
  • company rules. The culture must be squeaky clean.
  • physical working conditions. COE is in place!
  • co-worker relationships. Oil & water don't mix! e.g. Hastings Bateman!
  • job security. 4 year deal for 28-year-olds!

Hygiene factors, according to Herzberg, cannot motivate employees but can minimize dissatisfaction, if handled properly. In other words, they can only dissatisfy if they are absent or mishandled. So as long as the Weststigers Admin has all the hygiene factor ducks lined up correctly we ought to be OK in 2023 and beyond.
If Freud was the father of psychoanalysis then surely Maslow was the grandfather of workplace motivation? His needs hierarchy not only helps identify barriers to motivation but also compartmentalises them so the manager can choose level of involvement. I think when it comes to professional sport the involvement is much higher?

The Broncos used to have the best brooms in the business. Players loved playing there because they could do whatever they want and very rarely face consequences. Now they're unable to keep things in-house and it's affecting their playing squad.
