Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Glenji95]

Relying on just benji for recruitment is a scary thought

I'm not here to convenice you otherwise I just think you are missing points with what's involved with recruitment

Like, who's our connection to the player managers

Which player manager has the good players that would be suited to our club

What happens when you do not have strong connections to player managers

How do clubs with poor results go with recruitment usually?

I'm not saying I like the way recruitment is done but it is what it is.

If Fulton and Benji can’t get along, it’ll result in bad business down the road. At the end of the day Benji is the coach and Fulton should be working with Benji on who he wants at the club to work his vision. Not Fulton act like he’s the coach and try to sign who he wants.

Not surprising that the players are on board as strongly as they are with Benji. Most of them probably grew up idolising him, and for the older guys, he’s pretty much one of their peers, only being retired 2 years. Plus, he’s a charismatic guy. It’s basically the honeymoon period. The test will be when it gets down to the nitty gritty and how he responds. That’s what will make him as a coach, not the pre season when everyone is dreaming big and finding positivity anywhere they can find it.

He's done shit FA besides power trip with
Benji & get the Finaus across the line. If
we nab Luai that's all Benji. We need some1
to work with him not against him. I'm sure
they've worked it out and have an amicable
relationship — Fulton needs to know his
position & play his role. Benji has got this

If Luai does come it’s due to Benji. Any possible recruits moving forward should be due to Benji.

I'm sure it is great for recruitment when the recruitment manager is getting around bagging the coach, including feeding it to mates in the media.

So who replaces fulton and keeps a bunch fulton players we just signed happy?

Fulton close with black money too.

I think those moves now would be silly and not needed.

Ice for AFB makes little sense for us
Klem won’t be going to the Panthers
Blore moving on for Olam if Ice moved on is terrible roster management.


Warriors have Capewell doubt they need Ice for AFB anyway now.

Klemmer and ICE aren’t on “huge” contracts.

AFB and Luai are both free to negotiate. (Luai end of contract, AFB compassionate grounds) why do we need to provide a swap ?

We are well under salary cap, why can’t we keep Klemmer and ICE as well as sign AFB and Luai?

It will be due to the money.

Idk, I'm glad Brooks was not re-signed. It goes both ways. I think benji should coach and leave the majority of recruitment to fulton.

So sacked the coach then, its pretty clear they aren't working together?

We can my man. And we hopefully will
Luai will be the first chip to fall. We need
to have a competitive '24 & turn the roster

And?? Luai has admitted he was a Benji fan growing up. He’s probably never even heard of Fulton until they met (if he’s met Fulton)

 

[Glenji95]

It will be due to the money.

That’s also a factor but I don’t think he’d be considering us if Benji wasn’t there.

 

[tony soprano]

Next minute you guys will be saying to bring Macca back for the 10th time.

If they’re pro athletes they’ll suck it up and work hard.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Maybe not. But it will be irrelevant if he doesn’t come here. It’s a good early test for Benji. If he pulls this off, he’ll score a lot of points. If not, then it shows nothing has changed from Potter onwards.

I do think to an extent the front office especially the last few years has driven people away from signing with us. If we don’t get Luai that has to be fixed as well.

Sounds like Tigerballs got run over by the fat kid a few times.

No second prizes Misty

[tony soprano]

The latest news on recruitment was that pascoe took the lead on negotiations which could be interpreted as fulton is taking the lead.

The chips will fall when the review finally finishes. However, one thing for sure, the impact of the review was not well thought out and depending which way it goes could have a real negative impact for recruitment.

I'll just bookmark it here.

At the end of the day I don’t think players are signing because of a recruitment manager. A recruitment manager identifies the talent sure but the coach is the one who sells the vision.
