Benji was not happy with us hiring outside recruitment staff, case point Scott Fulton.

This is a rewrite of history. As usual.

It was that the chairman hired fulton without consulting anyone...then fulton came in like a bull at a gate and got people's noses out of joint.

Stop lying. You're a 700-1,000 year old man. Have some self-respect.

A personality clash.
But we simply must have someone like that. Benji must decide what time he wants, he can't do 6 jobs at once. Currently he's doing many roles but doing all of them poorly.

I am no disagreeing g with you, but am simply pointing out it has nothing to do with lack of funding, it is simply Benji getting what he wants.

Ok it was a bad decision, we better send the Fainu brothers back to Manly.
Talk about being out of touch with reality.

Which is absurd.

And can no longer be tolerated.

Did Benji spend the entire week up the coast watching all the schoolboys matches? I sure hope not. But the club should have had at least 1 member of the recruitment team up there watching every match. Did we? Doubtful.

If we were top of the league Benji could do what he wants. Instead we're towards the bottom every year, and he cannot argue.

Is the plan to just use his money for sam and latu?
Or do we have someone else planned aswell?

Exactly and it was Sheens who lost his shit over it because his man McDonell lost his autonomy as recruitment manager.
The reason Benji was fast tracked to the coaching position and Sheens bailed.

I would assume we still have contacts and intel all over the country and in NZ including at the recent schoolboy championships.
But I agree it is fine to allow Benji full control of the rugby league department if we are getting good results, but questions need to be asked when our results are not good.
I don’t agree with a lot of things Benji does or decisions he makes, but I will say I fully support this recent decision to move Luai on ASAP and I’m pleased he was smart enough to realise lack of speed out wide was hurting us and he head hunted Jake Averillo to help fix it.
We need much more than that, but it would appear he is starting to pinpoint some of the areas that are holding us back and not allowing friendships formed to stand in the way of our club hopefully becoming successful.
 
Banking on Latu is very risky, he barely strings 5 games together.

It would’ve been optimal to keep Luai as a 14 and make him injury cover for Latu, but if we really need the money for Samuela then I don’t mind it
