To be fair TR4L, Noyce would wield very little "real" power at the Roosters.

Politis is the powerbroker there and that club is eternally indebted to him so what he says goes, the Roosters CEO is more or less a glorified spokesman.

The title of this thread almost reads like your talking about just the one person considering they are both named Steve. Would have been better if it were 'Humphreys or Noyce'

And what did he bring us? a premiership. He was the one responsible for signing the man who lead us to that premiership, our current coach. If you prefer Humphreys to Noyce fair enough, but don't be ignorent enough to laugh at what he's doing at the Roosters when that has nothing to do with the success he brought to the Tigers

David Trodden still has an influence as he is the NRL clubs elected rep to deal with the NRL on salary cap etc.

David is involved with the club as much as possible I believe and he and Bailey have a solid working relationship by all reports

Ok, sounds like we're in a good position in that sense then.

Wasnt Trodden chairman for this year, Bailey next year?

Bailey was chairman from July after Peter Hardgrove resigned - he was chairman from about March (I think that's when they do the changeover), so Trodden will be chairman again in Feburary, although for some reason Trodden seems to be constantly referred to as chairman in the media (even as late as Robbie's article on Friday). I had a look too, and he's on the NSWRL and ARL (although that will be defunct soon) boards along with John Chalk. It seems we've got quite the power in Rugby League, especially with Wayne Pearce on the commission as well!

In regards to Noyce and Humphreys, I think it's a bit silly to compare them as they are both very good rugby league CEOs in their own right.

Noyce is very good at running a football club with some good business credentials, while Humphreys is clearly a spectacular businessman with football administration in his blood. It's hard to blame the failing sponsors on Noyce as pre-05 nobody would touch us, and along with Sheens he changed that. Since Humphreys has been in, we've only been on the up, both on and off the field, and I think he can take a fair bit of credit for that.

Both are locals with either side of the joint venture ingrained in them, which I think is a big reason why they've both been successful. It's also probably the biggest reason why Longmuir wasn't so successful, as he didn't have enough of an understanding about the traditions of both clubs, as well as a way to move forward while dealing with two boards.

Lolesi and O'Hara? Both solid players, not marquees, both on one year contracts as well. Noyce made no effort to retain either, although O'Hara was injury plagued, best getting him off the payroll.

There's no doubt that Noyce tried to throw the net out and nab some proven players at other clubs. These guys were performing at their previous clubs, they just didn't work out for us. Does not mean they weren't marquee signings…

And don't forget Galloway! It may have taken a while, but he's turned out to be a pretty handy signing by Noyce :wink:

As for who is better? I agree with Demonborger in that both have been beneficial to the club - Noyce laid a good foundation and Humphreys is building upon it.

umm O'Hara had a 3 yr contract, not one, and stayed for the duration of it. At the time we signed him, halfway through 05, he was close to a marquee signing, as he had played Origin the yr before. I still don't know the reasons why he failed here, wether it was through injury or just because Sheens didn't like him. Sheens does have a history of having his favourites and for whatever reason, possibly O 'Hara didn't fit in

as for Lolesi, he had a 2 yr contract, but got got released early. Didn't have much impact at all, which is probably because he spent the yr at lock
