Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Just on SEN radio, Hastings telling his Newcastle team mates at training, I run this team looks at ponga and says I run this team and you win the Dally M. Lol
We can all pretend we are glad he’s gone but let’s face it we all would have been thrilled if he re signed
 
You would hope there is nobody at out club brain dead enough to agree to a deal like that and then i remember what muppets we have making the decisions
I would agree if this was 2021 but over the last 18 months, I think the club has made some excellent decisions and not paid overs like we used to.
We have turned over a lot of players and it's fair to say they have let all the right players go.
 
You can't. But the club needs to be at arms length. I highly doubt any club plays by that rule.
I don't disagree. The issue is you have some legitimate deals and some illigitimate deals, but how are you going to police it? AND...if they're all doing it, then it's an even playing field in a sense. In any case, I'd say dodgy TPA's are a smaller problem than is made out.

Anasta said on NRL 360 that the Roosters set you up with financial and investment contacts, business contacts etc. I don't think that's far off the truth. A footballer is going to be attracted to that in some capacity. Maybe we need to test the theory and just be better at building a holistic environment for the player?

I'm not saying it's the answer, but definitely a valid way to look at the issue. Nothing wrong with getter better as a club.

I say we're stupid to not emulate Easts, as long as we're not stupid enough to get caught.
