CEO - Shane Richardson

[BAGNF05]

Not always. Remember the NSW Cup signings announced last year?

Mate we’ve recruited better than anyone on Richo’s watch. Those signings were never sold as a big deal.

 

[Snidest 0]

The fact he did it is a credit to his character and showing he wants to improve as a human

You can't punish someone for their entire life for bad decisions they've made

Even todd carney seems like a good bloke these days

No it evidently isn't!!

Stop trying to justify Taylan's extensive history of shit behaviour because you rate him as a player!

He got sacked by the Panthers because he was on his last warning after previous offences - including an assault conviction on a teenager before he even made his NRL debut FFS!!

As for this nonsense about "punishing him his entire life" - are you for real??

His ADVO has not even lapsed or been removed yet - and his domestic violence/stalking case was resolved less than two months ago ONLY because the key witness (who is no longer his partner for a reason) did not present at the court!

I don’t disagree with that, but the best signings came out of the blue, not from Richo hinting at announcements coming.

Turuva, Skelton, Luai had none of that.

 

[crazycat]

Mmm... but Taylan is still under an ADVO.

Yea, life lesson here.

Interpersonal relationships can be damn complicated. Sometimes you see a girl being used as a punching bag and it's pretty clear cut to throw that dickwad into jail. .... Other times, it can get damn complicated very quickly...

From my experience, that's where a good #6 or #7 get creative and introduce it with their team mates.

There is a reason they are the creative players.

I can't imagine Joey johns, Thurston, Lockyer, langer etc waiting for a strategic team to coach set scrum plays. Come up with some ideas yourself!!

They are on the field and have best perspective out of anyone to do so...

Honestly if he needs coaching on how to get creative then he's not the kinda half I want in my team.

We’re singing from the same hymn book there mate.

 

[twentyforty]

We've won 5 from 9. Lost 2 games by 2 points and scoring plenty of 4 pointers. Coach seems to be doing something right.

The wins and close games may give the fans a warm fuzzy but the coach is more focussed on not just doing something right but doing everything right. As the old saying goes..if you’re not looking for solutions then you’re part of the problem. 😜

Are you 12 years old - or is that just your IQ?

Damn it Snidest

You are spot on.

 

[Bigscreentv]

Completely agree with what's been said above, but I learnt along time ago (maybe on this forum 😛 ) to not make judgements about situations I'm not close to or believe everything I read.

I also have faith in Benji and Richo to make the right call as they'll have all the information. If it's deemed that he's a bad person and not fit for the club, then they'll make the right call. If they decide he's good to be a member of the team and want to give him a chance, then I trust them.

Yeah, theres a body of laws to deal with justification of physical attacks in response.

If you have a heated argument, if you start the biff, you could be in very serous trouble icluding a spell in gaol.

So interpersonal issues, if youre frazzled during an vebal altercation, best to walk away.

Some people have the bad temper, wires arent connecting.

Kenty starts ww2 over a comment or whatever a few times and its destroyed his reputation and career. He sounds broken these days.

I think he may have that bad-drunk-itis thing. Its very dangerous.

Clubs and schools drive the message home to players about conduct, but people arent the same or are motivated by other things.

 

[TIGERS]

Woah, hold on.

Signings coming out of the blue has been at least 40% of Richo's approach to recruitment these days. He has said as much on podcasts and radio. He held out for May where others wouldn't, so you gotta give the devil his due on this one.

Sorry, not sure what your point is here. None of what I said was in any way criticising Richo.

 

[TSP]

All of this recruitment world is quite foggy.

Its always interesting when clubs declare they are no longer in the market for a particular player.

99% of the time i didnt even know they were interested.

Clubs dont say much, we get the dodgy story from a red nosed journalist.

 

[TSP]

There was a story on Andrew Johns in the news ltd media recently talking him up.

It acknowledged that he wasnt overly popular with fans. I think hes really poor.
Agony listening to him and Billy.

Yet maybe more popular than JT after he tried to throw his weight around complaining to Robbo about spencer telling him to word removed off.

JT must have thought for a second that Robbo was going to agree with him. Imbecile.

Robbo doubled down on Spencers utterances to JT but in a more civiised way.

JT comes across as yet another entitled d-wad.

Dumb comment from spencer, but hes no racisf.

We probably have the worst commentators and experts of any organised sport in the world.

JT calling for more harm to come to spencer over a dumb comment so he could boost his own credentials ( which he doesnt need), i think it was a dog act.

Disclosure: i know some of spencers connections. Hes about as racist as a garden gnome.

I love Joey as a former player and as a commentator of the game. Its not often I disagree with what he says.. in saying that I watch fox sports so I don't hear it every game.

Understood.

Reasonable minds can reach different conclusions.

As a player, he spent most of his career on the whack and had to have bodyguards with him for awhile to protect others from his frolics.

He doesnt seem the full driveway to me.

Compare Joey to

Bomber McRae
Ruan Simms
Frank Hyde
Darryl Eastlake

But yeah, if you like him, no wuzzers!

 

[TSP]

Ruan actually analyses the game, picks up patterns in play, notices strengths and weaknesses. Tells you why players are being rotated, picks up little injuries.

Avoids crapping on about useless stats, players struggles with life and my pet hate, the post try accolade

" ...And thats Blossom McDickwad, what a wonderful story, suffered two broken legs in the Group 69 grandfinal before half time last year, but recovered and kicked the winning field goal in that match with 3 minutes to go"

" Bellamy saw that and here he is going over against the Wests Tigers at the end of the match to put some respectability back into the score"

" Wests Tigers 47, Storm 18 and we have 6 minures left"

Mate...with all due respect your posts are painful reading lately.....very hard to follow

What would you have me post?

i thought we could all post here and share stuff we were interested in.

 

[BZN]

Ah no, you can't post and share stuff WE ARE INTERESTED IN.
You can only post stuff that the 99% majority agree with.

Having an opinion opposing the 99% majority is just not tolerated.

So im finding out - very dissapointed that someone i didnt think i had any beef with, now wants to be unkind.

Ive invited him to tell me what i can post about.

If hes got any specific issues with my posts, he can elaborate on the content, not have a public swipe.

Anyways...
