Scott Fulton [Discussion]

The club could not sign a first grade quality player. Sheens comes back and suddenly we have a forward pack capable of competing. What possesses a bunch of totally unqualified idiots in suits to go above him and mess up his planning, 6 months into his head coaching stint? I will always support the jersey but it’s getting increasingly difficult when it’s being run by incompetent egomaniacs.
Meh. Whilst i agree the suits should stay in their lane i think youre overly praising Sheens.
Madge done the hard work in getting Api and Papalii.
Sheens traded away our halves depth for a forward who was already on the outer at his club and gave a 4 year contract to a Pom looking to move to Australia. Nothing more. Hardly brilliant recruiting even if I do like Klemmer and Bateman.
 
Def did that well. Has a strong record with some of their pathways players.

VS

He also recruited Kelma Tuilagi from us...one of the worst defensive backrowers ever. They then leaked points down his edge whenever Tuialgi played.
And paid big bucks for garlic sauce and the wonderkid 800K Schuster and 2 million for the turbos a year
 
His sister??? Ok. Now that makes sense.
I'm thinking she should get some credit "(Kristie) Fulton was the manager of elite pathways at the Sea Eagles until late last year when she was sacked by the club during the rainbow jersey controversy that crippled the team and contributed to the Sea Eagles missing the finals."

 
The current issues are not a matter of who is the better recruiter out of Sheens and Fukton, it comes down to the fact that Pascoe and Hagipantelis had appointed Tim Sheens as Head of Football giving him full control of anything football related, and they would run the club side of the business. Sheens is one of the most experienced football minds in the game and neither two of them know how to run a football team. Maybe a club or business but not the football team.

Why do they now go behind Sheen's back appointing Fulton and start making changes to areas of the club they DON'T UNDERSTAND THE FIRST THING ABOUT. LEAVE THIS TO SHEENS, BENJI AND FARAH AND KEEP YOUR HANDS OUT OF MATTERS THEY ONLY KEEP DESTROYING EACH TIME THEY INTERFERE.

Yes the tigers have not made the finals in some time now, but since Pascoe and Hagipantelis joined the board the club has only gone down hill due to their handling of the club.

It's no wonder players keep wanting to leave the club. Worst of all now we started seeing good signs of improvements they further alinate Tim Sheen, as well as Brookes who has never played better and it looks like we may loose them both.

The best and only solution is for Tigers members and fans to show Pascoe and Hagipantelis who really runs the club. STAND UP WITH ONE LOUD VOICE DEMANDING THEIR RESIGNATION. AFTERALL WESTS TIGERS CLUB BELONGS TO THE MEMBERS, FANS AND COMMUNITY, NOT TWO INEPT INDIVIDUALS TRYING TO APPEAR IMPORTANT AND MAKE MONEY WHILST THE CLUB THEY PRETEND TO RUN GETS DESTROYED.

SPREAD THE MESSAGE FAR AND WIDE AND GET MEMBERS AND FANS MOBILISED TO SAVE THE TIGERS ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!
 
Buzz and Hadley would not say a bad word about a Fulton no matter what. He is basically family to them.
Lee actually spoke to Ray Hadley about Fulton to get advice on hiring him (Hadley admitted himself that he had the phone conversation) because Lee supposedly knew very little about him.

As you have said, Hadley was best mates with Bob Fulton and is very close to the family, so of course he gave a glowing reference for the son.

Shame Lee didn't have time to run it past Sheens who no doubt would have objected to the idea, but that is beside the point, so I guess that in the end it was decided that the most expedient way to go about things was to go behind the Sheenius' back.

Don't get me wrong, I don't really have an opinion on McDonnell leaving, he seems to do it on a regular basis here, but gee, talk about meddling with the football department.
 
I didn’t know he was well regarded. Certainly the Fulton name has opened a few doors for him.
hasn’t done anything yet for us that I am aware of.
hope he does something soon we need 2 halfs and centre Or 2
I'm puzzled and annoyed he released Ofahengaue without replacing his Roster spot but I'm prepared to give him 1 year before I judge his Recruitment/Retention. McDonnell had more than one stint and more than enough time to prove he's not great at it.

Usually with a key employee either Pascoe or Hagipantelis would have made an announcement, which in turn would have given us some idea behind the reasons for his hiring. Because Hagipantelis admits to knowing nothing about Fulton leads me to think that it was others on the board making that decision.
