CEO - Shane Richardson

[Tom Shines]

Who knows how to get a petition done online that we can send to the club , asking for why we keep letting players go yet nothing comes in . And letting the club know as supporters we are sick of these never ending 5 year plans , which never end .

Save time …

Call the club first thing Monday and ask to speak to Shane ..

Do u really think they would take my call , I might interrupt his travel planning

 

[Wiz]

You can be disappointed by no replacements yet but you can’t judge it until round 1 2025. There’s still plenty of time.

I’m going to buy him a Skype App for Xmas.

I figure he took a few club managers out during his Uk visit, got them smashed and convinced them the next day they’d signed our pork chops at the disco a go go last night.

In the meantime, as a member, I’m happy if Benji gets an early mark for his efforts this season and heads back to the Fijian resort.

Give Morris the keys to the ferari for a few weeks, see what he can do. Nothing to lose as we hurtle towards the spoon at frightening speed.

Passively. Buying not buying membership. Hit em where it hurts.. then they will listen... rest assured

So they finally officially mention co captain Batemans.gone...more than a week after it happened, the most lamest weakest press release I've read
End of week Friday just after our game kicked.off...several.items down from the latest news article on the official site
Trying to hide it.
Very very weak
Way to treat your paying members and fans
Disgraceful

I’ll bring that one to Richos attention.

Id prefer the truthful account that for whatever reason he wasn’t meeting expectations for his price. Which is not to say he’s a bad player and on all reports he’s a great guy and I hope one day he settles here.

I wouldn’t mind a 5 year plan that worked, but we could be facing this:

Year 1: the spoon but marquee signings.
Year 2: second last on merit. Two emerging stars from lower grades win a game for us. Biggest loss by no more than 50 points. Team considered to be on the up.
Year 3: New coach, Eddie Jones and we reach up to 14th place. Signing includes Munster and Haas for unders. Democratic board changes.
Year 4: Munster and Hass injured in round 1. Forced to retire. NRL deny compensation. Perth Bears penalised for dodgy cap. We jag 17th place. Richo announces new feminist collective memberships. Concord bulldozed to build a giant Tesla supercharge centre.
Year 5: biggest record loss in nrl history against us 146-0. Lee elected by members. Offer to become Melbourne second side signed off on. The Tullamarine warbirds. Fresh grounds deal has 5 games in Alice Springs. New 5 year plan announced.

This is why Richo ignores you.

This is why Richo ignores you.

A Richo WT supercharger centre, 5 full electric charges for the Tesla (at slightly inflated prices) and you get a pet membership. Work your way up to ticketed membership.

Better than counting every junior who ever played as a platinum member like under Lees watch.

 

[BZN]

I can see both sides of the arguments tbh. Yes it improves skillset and utility value but unfortunately due to our poor depth, it's probably optimal to have them hone their skills in their natural position incase we require their services.

I know that was a poor loss yesterday but the younger players really do have a dig. My only real complaint was they tried too hard and rushed or forced plays.

2 really excellent thought-provoking posts Lauren.

 

[BZN]

I’d hope we can still avoid it this year and begin to climb the ladder next year, realistically probably top eight in 2026 would be my most optimistic prediction.

WOW!!! 10 out of ten for optimism BAGNF05, but I reckon top 8 won't happen before 2027 at the earliest.

 

[BZN]

We are completely void of even a passable game plan. And is it just me or does Galvin need a spell . He looked decidedly tired tonight and his passing was labourious . Maybe give Bud another game or two. How did he go in Reggie’s ?

When the team was running out to start the match, it looked to me like they were all tired and really didn't want to be there, and the rubbish play in the 1st half reflected that Imo.
Thankfully the cool aid or Benji's pointed toe shoes at the break enabled them to come out for the 2nd half with a much-improved attitude.

Releasing it at that time is cowardly.

 

[TSP]

Releasing it at that time is cowardly.

Yes.

The club is feeing the pinch from the lack of results and has regrettably turned back to the trusty bunker mentality.

Poor judgment when the pr message this year has been good will and more transparency.

Benjis holiday was never announced and Richos overseas trip until afterwards. A report would have been nice, even if he kept confidential things confidential.

But I mean it’s hardly a matter of our national security interests to try to offload Nado.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Better still let’s name and shame our lot
Farah = Attack Coach = Fail
Morris = Defence Coach = Fail
Benji = Head Coach = Fail
Richardson = Management / Recruiter / Remover of duds / = Fail
fitness Coach = worn out after warm up = Fail
Strength Coach = We are weak and get rag dolled = Fail

Ouch, but basically all true 426.

 

[Squater]

He was a pretty handy player to begin with before being dropped.

At the tigers he would of disappeared. The player management at the rorters is what we need. To many of our players give up and are not worked with. We just let them fall. I would love for bunji to work on this.

 

[Squater]

So we just continue collecting WOODEN spoons , while we wait to see if the kids can handle 1st grade.
HOW many years are u willing to wait 3,5, or another 10 years

We don't have any choice do we. Who wants to come to us. We just have to stop chasing super stars outside of half's and buy hard tiolers. Until we get the player management right we are doomed. Can't have superstars falling off the purch again and again.

I hit the nail on the head , hard tiolers, if we can see this why is it so hard for those who run our club to see it .

I think they can't see it because they all want the big headlines and quick fixes. They don't have the experience or love for the club. They just want the big pay packet. Lee and pascoe did more damage than anyone will know. They set us back years.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

I feel sorry for the fans. They pay money. The players get paid to do job and suck at it. And hear you Lauren.
