What I would like our CEO to do is actually recognise and admit the dire situation we are in
Recruitment of any Quality NRL level footballers is really difficult almost impossible .
Nobody wants to come to Concord and slowly watch their career credentials dissipate
The evidence for this ! Weve recruited nobody despite a lot of effort .I'm sure many have been approached with no takers .
Now we are desperate for an experienced playmaker and of course Brodie Croft would be a good idea but he has something like a 7 year contract where he is and he would be unlikely to give that up for a 2 or 3 year deal . Failing him there is Sezer who imo must be getting old enough to be a veteran .Failing him there is nobody !!!
Only players who might be attracted are those who have not made it to NRL level yet .
They play Nsw cup or Qld cup or Championship in the UK
Volkman has signed a contract extension with the Warriors but playing behind Shaun Johnson and Luke Metcalf he is unlikely to advance to NRL level .If playing regular NRL for this sydneysider at the tigers is not as good as playing NSW cup for Warriors then WOW
We really have a problem .
First Admit the problem!.Second Analyse why the problem ! Third take immediate steps to fix the problem
Just remember Boss " if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem "

The dire business? Economically speaking Wests Tigers are in a great position. Membership growing. More fans buying into the dream. Fashion and hats, scarfs and podcasts on the rise. Its only dire for the fans.
 
If you’re the coach, you should be able to pick your players to a large extent. Yes, it should go through a recruitment process but ultimately the coach’s fate is decided by infield results.

Ideally, recruitment and the coach should work harmoniously however the way Fulton was appointed was always going to end up in disruption. I think it is best for all that he moves on and at least stop some of the media stories.

I also think either Lee and Pascoe (or both) who are responsible for this situation should fall on their sword.

Absolutely the coach and recruitment manager should be on the same page. The coach should be on the selection committee for the role and should have the final say otherwise we end up in a mess eg missing out on players we desperately need so the aggressive recruitment program becomes a disaster. We may get scoffs of mock sympathy from other clubs.

I hope I'm wrong but he's been very unimpressive in Super League. So many mistakes in his game.

I think you're the most aware on here when it comes to super league, so I always take your comments serious in regards to this...

Hopefully he'll go up a gear returning to Oz though, the last few years left in the game for him.
 
The Sezer news can’t be real can it ?
He’s not even in the top 20 halves in the UK and would be one of the rare halves who is now slower than Wakeham.
If true, surely he’s only being signed as a back up ?

In principal I agree. The coach is the one accountable so needs input into the recruitment. But its a bit like politics, because its the coaches job at stake he can make decisions for the now which aren't necessarily good for the future. I think its the job of the recruiment manager to be a little more future focused. In this case Cogger and Sezar are probably a much of a muchness really. At least sezar has some experience.
