Everyone reports to CEO exceptf the Chairman and the Board.
That’s how it works in terms of a governance of any organisation worth its salt.

Yeah but that does mean the CEO is involved in everything.

Yes …. And if he does not …. then he’s not wort a pinch of @#$&!

Well if what the forgotton man said has any accuracy I’m glad we aren’t paying 700K of Thompsons 800K salary if I was Sheens I would start to call Paulo’s manager to try and get him for 23 if the Dogs really want Paulo they’ll come crawling back to renegotiate for Thompson

100% agree...
Shifty Sheen's is most likely on the case already. He tried to get Hodgson and would not increase our price and give in to Raiders and they got burnt when we took Api.. We could do the same with Paulo..

I don’t mind the forgotten mans mail tbh, we were pretty close with latrell and JAC besides that he seems pretty accurate.

I really hope he’s right and we’ve signed Cotric, he’s a real talent and only 23 - he played origin at 21

Thompson would be great, but 700k is a little too much…. I’d go max around 600-625k if not target someone else maybe even Big Nelson from Melbourne?

We also need to remember we didn't get those signings due to the guys trying to close the deals (clowns) ... I am very confident if Sheen was here at the table like he is now we would of got 1 if not 2 of them.
Anyway he is here now and seems to be making all the right calls so fingers crossed we get Cotric

 

[bigsiro]

With all the exciting signing news, does anyone know if we are going to be adding any speed to the backline?
Cotric would be great but we still lack speed big time I reckon.
Is the potential deal for Simonsson a thing?

@tigerballs queensland border is opening on Monday, interesting to see if Nanai and or Luki are seen around Concord

 

[rihannafan1]

With Tamou most likely retiring
Joffa headed back to queensland to rejoin wayne we need to get Thompson from the dogs its a smart move

Are these fantasies of yours or do you have some mail?

And he would have gotten Finucane and TPJ too.

I'm glad he didn't. We wouldn't have gotten IP and probably API if we had those two.

Lucky he wasn't eh!

Rome was not built in a day but under Peter V football you need a game breaker if you are going to compete with the better teams. You only have to look at Manly, without Turbo they come back to the field in a flash. Anyway we don’t have a game breaker, maybe Laurie might get close in a couple of seasons, but at present the cupboard is bare.

I think defensively we have to be stronger than last season, especially if we could land Cotric and Thompson. Still don’t think we are a chance of the eight but of 2023 could be the year things start to happen

I agree with you, but:
Defensively last season even Stevie Wonder could see we were soft.

As for Gamebreakers. That seething quote from Mitchell Latrell "they havent even got their spine sorted out". It still burns. If we want to get the best talent we need our squad sorted out.

I know Sheens will have a plan. It will be weird, different but a long term strategy.
I also know it will be fun.

Junior Tupou and Oliver Gildart will both add speed that we didn't have last season.

Longer it goes tend to agree.

Jackson Ferris from Cronulla is in discussions to join the club as a depth signing as a 2nd row/centre cover, will be a minimum wage deal if it comes through.

Discussions are being had about a potential swap/release for Koroisau to join the club immediately in 2022, Liddle is the obvious choice but also depends if Panthers want him. Liddle keen to stay & fight for his spot be sees the writing on the wall.

Cotric is mulling over a last ditch offer from the Raiders as of Sunday night, they've upped how much they will pitch in but the deal only remains a 2 year deal at this stage.
Our offer is over 3 years covering 450k for 2022 & closer to 500k in 2023.
Luke Thompson deal a long way off with his salary just too much at this point in time, Sheens feels he'd be a massive addition but doesn't want to unbalance the salary cap & have too much invested in the front row.

The club is extremely confident of giving fans a Christmas present of a upgraded extension for Stephano taking him till the end of 2025.

Thanks mate, nice to hear from you!

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

If we get Stef I’d be more than happy with our end of year recruitment. He really could become the cornerstone of the club for years to come

If we get Jackson Ferris does that mean we are not interested in luki or nannai from cowboys

We wil get a lot of speed from Gildart, Hopefully if Nofo decides to run straight and away from the sideline we will get speed from him too. Currently our centre defence is quite weak but that is where Cotric will come in, to strengthen our centre defence.
