Frank Sinatra sang many songs of virtue. Is Jerome the next Frank?

Harto and Madge had that shocking public blow up at the airport that day.

What happened with Madge and Hartigan at the airport

I think sheen’s would have been ok in the coaching director role.
One thing that sticks out to me is early on he said that the coach can choose the players he wants
This is also stern belief of richos aswell

Question is though who was picking them.

 

[Needaname]

Its weird right? They seem to waste all this money with poor decisions re HR because of their inability to work together, but somehow justify savings on travel costs, dencorub, bandages etc. and expect the team to work together?
Yet, there are those who say the players shouldnt be the least bit concerned with the backroom politics and BS?... LOL

Remember, this was the club that hired Tim Sheens back in an unidentified role just because it would be good to have his experience. That role changed about 4 times before being eventually sacked.
SMH.

Yep, sometimes ’doing something’ is is often the wrong option. As Brooksy jokingly said ‘there’s always something going on’ 😂

The loudest voice on the ‘list committee.’

Sheens was well and truly past it in any full-time role in my view, and I think he realised it was mess that he was incapable of fixing very early in the piece. He had a great influence on the game during his prime and we can right the last stint off at the WTs as an added bonus to the retirement fund.

Oh please...

Jerome came because of Benji Marshall, Api Koroisau, Staines and Naden.

He came for the money, first and foremost.

 

[Tucker]

Definitely.
It is amusing that our fans are putting forward romantic notions of why he signed here.
He has been given 5 years of stability and a boatload of cash. End of story.

He’ll buy in when he’s here, I have no doubt. But money was the driving factor.

Money was the driving factor for him leaving Penrith. As for why he chose us over other offers, his manager made the point at the last press conference that there wasn't much different between the competing offers.

So, I'm assuming that it wasn't just money that led him to choose us.

So we assume must be Benji, maybe Richo and/or Api, that’s good but let’s hope it’s a
positive outcome.

Jerome could have easily been lured to the dogs, but I suspect the dogs were not keen on him and had Burton locked in at NR7.

The club Manager, the board and all that stuff just isn't relevant to him. Players pass balls, train at gym, tackle and that's that. They don't care about the board level and maybe wave at the club chairman occasionally. Luai knew Pascoe, maybe liked him a little, doubt he mattered anywhere near as much as Koroisau.

What I think swung him was Luai actually lined up in a grand final against Marshall. The more I think about it, the more I go "wow, that is some weird history"... Even though I don't believe Marshall played that round.

You cant tell me the Clean Out to those Idiots and the appointment of Richo wasnt a major contributor.

The money plus decent leadership is critical for elite employees

There was a lot time put into it, but I think Richo closed the deal.

I remember Richo coming out defending Jerome publicly before he signed, especially his personal attributes.. that had previously been under attack.

While the dogs stayed quiet and Ivan acted like a spoilt brat.

It’s not the straw that broke the camels back, but it doesn’t hurt either.

A combination of things dragged him across.

But make no mistake, it was total victory. He is a remarkable player and person.
