CEO - Shane Richardson

Sully said:
I feel there are many positives in having Richo onboard.

Firstly he understands what it takes to run a football team and whilst Pascoe needs to be commended for his ability to gain funding for the COE and sponsorships he could focus on hat sales..

Secondly the leaks will stop from the football department as he will weed out who ,if they are not already gone, which I believe they have given the silence recently.

Lastly the media will have a challenge in dealing with him as he won’t take their crap and remain silent like Pascoe did. We won’t need to have Lee come out in the past on behalf of the club and dribble. Doubt BOF will do media like Lee did.

2024 is going to be enjoyable as I believe we have a side that can make the finals and surprise a few even without JL this year.

It was actually a little bit ridiculous how much air time Lee got for a chairman.

Given the board is gone, it's interesting how quickly all the leaks stopped. No news at all.

We had a rat infestation at board level and they crippled the club on and off the field. Good riddance to every single one of them.

Agreed and apart from Politis at the Chooks, how many NRL chairman could anyone name. Lee was an ego manic and he lost me the day at Leichhardt when he presented Tommy’s jersey. I’m from the Balmain side of the JV and could see so many more deserving Magpie greats who would have been more worthy.

I think he wants to he is just seeing how things go by his own mouth he likes total power to do what's in the best interest of the club and puts his neck on the line for doing so

But in saying that I have heard stories about him acting like a crazy mad man he knows what he wants then goes and does it treading on people along the way

I hope you realise if Richo is there long term you won’t see the club anywhere but the Macarthur region. He’s said it before publicly that Leichhardt is not fit for NRL it’s a relic of the past.

Bravo.

The Macarthur region is for either us, St George, Dogs or maybe the Sharks. Really it's only the Dragons that kinda have a little claim, it's up for the taking.

Not saying we have to move everything down there. Just mark our territory and make it clear.

Oh, cmon.

Look there are a stack of Balmain and Magpie greats. Tommy was a League Icon in his day and Tommy became larger then life because he kept up the image and the appearances. Yes Lee should have let the players take more attention, had Brooks present the jersey or something.

That really wasn't the issue. We should have fired on that day, we had all the reasons too. Like a Victor Lawnmower on a summers day we did not spark at all.

Yikes, love the selection but petitions every other week. Might start one of my own at this rate lol.

No thx.

He hasn't even worn off his Xmas hangover yet and hasn't officially started.

Richo has been involved. He doesn't officially
start until the new year (move into his new
office) but he's been involved. What should
fill fans with confidence is the fact that he
has mentioned a few times that the Tigers
rebuild is the easiest one yet. Strong junior
crop, good financial position due to Pascoe
and staunch fans like us. Could be worse
lol. Hope he's enjoying his holidays, real
work starts in the NY, we're in good hands

Not going to argue the effectiveness of a
petition or people power mate. Give Richo
& Benji what they need, he has a carte Blanche
for 6 months anyway, let's see how we go
 
Anyone thinking of listening to the podcast recording, don't waste your time. Just a bunch of old geezers gibbering away like they've just polished off a few schooners at the local.

Why is our CEO even doing a podcast for a comedy website? Just so weird, and nothing really useful mentioned. If you do want to listen skip to about 35 mins and switch off after he speaks about Luai. The rest is very boring and irrelevant. Mostly about Souths
 
Get the edge podcast by Hayden Knowles and Penrith CEO Matt Cameron is a good listen.
Light years away from the former Penrith /our CEO Justin Pascoe
