I must've had a stroke, I'm agreeing with everything Braith's saying.

Definitely sounded like Braith and Benji have had some conversations in the background.

First time in a long while I've agreed with braith.

Some telling points;

- Said any back would look good in Penny's system (Re:Cogger)
- Implied Latu 'Hype' might be an exaggeration/overdone
- Suggested Sezer (Benjis call) was a good signing given the situation
- Rubbished the claim that Fulton Was the best recruiter out there (Lee's claim) - based on manly current position and the fact that Fulton Was in his 1st year of top 30 recruitment
- Then ridiculed Manlys Signing of Schuster for 800k / and then scoffed at the suggested he was worth 1.2mil (Assumeb this is what he was after to come to the tigers) - Fulton's pick and hence another dig at Scott

Looks like they're gonna have to hitch their wagons to the benji train

They get paid for their opinions.

Management will stay on the Benji train until they hit their first major obstacle and then drive away from the potential train wreck the minute it starts to look bad.I wouldn't trust any of those people as far as i could throw them.Muppets

Buzz had a point tho. Benji hasn't been able to recruit anyone.! !

For what is worth and I mentioned it yesterday - Benji shouldn't have last say in signings.

He's a rookie coach and will have enough on his plate.

Too often we've been screwed over coz a coach has been centre of the recruitment universe.

If that were true - life would be different. Coach has no say

Every NRL coach chooses their own players, particularly the top 17.
A manager in a workplace chooses their own staff, so no different.
 
The club need to let Fulton work with the player managers. He was hired because we have failed to build relationships for a very long time. The coach should ultimately get final say on the player not the contract value or term. On face value Benji calls no to schuster on 1m and sezer over Cogger are the right ones in my view.

Fulton should be lining up player A, B, C, D in line with needs and getting buy in from coaches and management. It’s not rocket science.

The more I see this play out Benji, Fulton and Holbrook seems likely to me. Sheens will be sidelined or left out and Pascoe will be the scapegoat deservedly so. Lees words gave me that impression and it’s become evident Lee is a true chairman of a board not an executive chairman that runs anything footy related.

I disagree. The coach will live or die on recruitment choices and how they get them to integrate within the team.
If your recruitment manager can do whatever he wants, we’ll end up with another bag full of blokes who cannot form a team.
What if Benji wants a team of ultra quick, ballplaying, attacking dynamos and Fulton recruits a bunch of plodders in attack who are very solid defenders?
Coach MUST give the directive. Lee confirmed what a lot of us are saying…Fulton is there to help the coaches and do as they require.

Sheens will resume his role of Director of Football.
