They're under contract. They don't go anywhere unless we opt to let them go.

Hasnt been our past practice with Matterson.Aloui ...

I would say there's almost zero chance of that, and rightfully so.

Richo is a CEO. An excellent one. And he's the CEO the club so desperately needs. He may be focusing on the football department in the short term as this is the public front of the organisation, but he still looks after the whole business.

Richo will hire an excellent head of football. This will allow Betsey to focus on juniors, New Football head to look after footy with benji, and Richo oversees everything.

I'm not so sure mate. in the way he sets up clubs the CEO is far removed from the football department. he's said it himself a few times that he would much rather focus on football-related matters as opposed to the admin. I think he'll set everything up for a CEO to take care of things on one side of the club and then move into the DoF role.

no doubt Betsey goes back to juniors but I'm almost certain that Richo will be DoF come August with a new CEO to come in.

As I said in the other thread,
Re Fulton…meh.
just the new regime cleaning out remnants of the old.
happens at a corporate level all the time. Happened to me a couple of times over the years. It is what it is. Benji et al will sink or swim but he’ll do it with the people he wants around him. No excuses.

News just keeps getting better

 

[jrtiger]

A few of the support staff have been let go today as well

DT reporting Head of Wellbeing and Education Alan Thompson gone and an unnamed gear steward. were there more than they're reporting?

My guess is one of Bud or Latu will fall behind in the pecking order after 24 season is over..Tartak will get into their ear and advise there are better opportunities elsewhere to be a starting 6...and at $500k pa for either of them and Galvin coming thru,thats not exactly the worst outcome for WTS!!

Can't fit them all in. We can't play them at 14 either if both Da Silva and Simpkin stay. Sullivan gets his shot this year, if he doesn't go well, try him at 14 with Fainu 6

Ray Hadley will devote the first hour of his show when he returns on what a stupid decision it was to sack him.

 

[liltiger]

Wonder who will come in to replace him

 

[innsaneink]

Benjis got enough on his plate without worrying about recruitment, unless its just the other guys running names by him for a yay or nay

 

[rugbygoated]

Anyone who hasn't watched Richo's interview with Jam, have a watch when you can. Really good insight

 

[KingRobbie]

Wonder who will come in to replace him

“The Tigers won’t pursue a replacement, instead deploying a recruitment committee comprised of Richardson, Marshall and interim head of football Matthew Betsey.”

Hadley sooks about everything and has his mates in the media that he defends to no end no matter how bad. He is a massive hypocrite and whinger

 

[Telltails]

They had a review for a reason. It would have been dumb not to act on it.

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

I hope this will bring success to the tigers in the coming years . Just one worry for me is that RICHO is only signed for 6 months , this needs to be extended ASAP

I still can't believe we actually pulled off a signing this huge. Forget any player signing this is actually the biggest in the clubs history. It's hard to believe we have someone this good & professional running the club after watching dumb & dumber be incapable of their jobs for so long.

Yes, Vince Marando.

Sorry totally missed that part

 

[Kaito]

Yes, Vince Marando.

Say it ain't so! The man is an icon at the club.
He must have been telling folks our business

 

[Papacito]

Fired over the phone in Richo's second week in the job.

Richo has been very hands on with recruitment in his previous roles so this is no surprise.

 

[851]

If Peters opens his overly large cake trap, I'd expect Richo would happily fill it! I don't think Peters will take on one of the best administrators in the sport.

You may underestimate his ego and stupidity

 

[Masterton]

From the Australian:

Fulton has spoken exclusively to this masthead about the decision after he received a phone call from the club’s chief executive Shane Richardson on Tuesday morning to say his services were no longer required.

“It’s disappointing because I had such high hopes for the Wests Tigers and the direction we were heading in with recruitment,” Fulton said.

“But I really enjoyed my time under the previous management and what we were able to achieve in a short period.

“These things happen in rugby league and we’ll move on and look for the next opportunity.

I wish the club all the best.”
