Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Vicious]

We have plenty of experts on here that seem to know exactly what is required to be a good GM a good CEO, a good Board Member and a good Chairman of the Board.
In regards to recruitment & retention the on field results are the big driver and our main concern.
If the team was having good on field success and playing an attractive style of play, nobody would even be thinking about who is our GM, CEO, Board Members or Chairnan.

It's a shame we don't have any experts at the club that know what running a successful footy team looks like.

Other team fans probably wouldn't even know who their club chairman is.

Is RFH is really on the outer would he be worth having a look at?

 

[tigermate]

Robbie would be a good GM... in 3-6 years,

It's not what you do right, it's what you do wrong that will get you.
Robbie runs small Businesses. Robbie gets business management. Yet i would really like it if Robbie would learn the ropes elsewhere with the intent of returning to the Tigers in 5ish years.

Because there is the "running" of the joint and the "fixing" of the joint along with teh not "stuffing up the joint". Fixing being the hard part.
That said Robbie does know us well and may have strong opinions. If he and the board align he could do immense good, I would want a GM mentor behind him though.

Lol

Let’s be the only club that has a mentor head coach for an assistant coach slash head coach in waiting

And a GM mentor for our GM assistant slash GM in waiting

This club is fckd

Why can’t we just have a great head coach and a great GM

And both of those roles go to the best candidate through a rigorous hiring process rather than Lee and Justin having garlic bread at Grappa and deciding Tim sheens and benji and Robbie would be a great team

Btw my cousin owns Grappa so I told him if Lee and Justin are there again to kick them out before they hire anyone else

Should we start a Rumours for Management tread? Seems to be the in thing ATM

Sorry, I’ve got no response to that?
It’s doing my head in, because to me it looks like Buzz has far too much sway at the club.

When we start winning again, hopefully next year, no-one will care if Justin and Lee are CEO and Chairman, or Deadpool and Wolverine are filling those roles.

I think we all (most?) acknowledged at the start of the year that we had better forwards / hoped the halves were good enough (due to the better forwards) / backline required work next off-season. Forwards have been better, but the halves didn't live up to the hopes, backline performed about as expected. Getting competent halves and one or two better backline players and we should finally climb the ladder. Hopefully then, the off-field team disappears into the background and the media concentrates their clickbait writing elsewhere.

Unfortunately as noted the tigers have better forwards this year, but admin can’t stay in their lane and want to constantly change/tinker with direction, it is just continual disruption without warranted reasons

Bradman Best supposedly testing the market, I think he's one that you open the cheque book for.

100% Rorters bound .. to be on the same edge as Dominic Young when he goes there next year as well.

Benji meeting Sullivan on Thursday

 

[Needaname]

Adam Pompey resigned by Wahs. Villemi Valiea signed to Cowboys next year.
We keep missing out on these outside backs!

Blake Taaffe and Jameon Salmon to the dogs

 

[Canadian Club]

The Roosters signed Lenui and justified it in the media by declaring he was taking JWH's money/spot. Then once enough time passed and everyone forgot, they re-signed JWH.

When they signed Young (who was being offered 500k by the Knights) they justified the signing by declaring he was taking Sua'alii's money/spot. Now they're saying that Sua'ali'i was on 700k and that is what they are offering Best so it's a straight swap.

The Roosters are full of it and try to play the general public for fools. In recent years they're always desperately trying to justify their signings through the media due to the fact that everyone can clearly see what's going on with their clear advantage in spending. It always the 'we may have signed a 1 million dollar player, but we are letting 3 players on 200k go' or 'this player is replacing this player who is leaving' only for that player to be re-signed at a later date. Next, they'll probably use the excuse that they have let Matt Lodge go and have cap space despite bragging a year ago that they signed him for peanuts because he loved the Roosters culture so much!

I guess he really is a weak gutted dog

 

[tony soprano]

Ow that's a good one

 

[stevo133]

we are meeting with Jayden Sullivan tomorrow and Brodie Croft apparently off the table

So no one wants to come to the tigers , because we are hopeless, but the dogs have a far worse defence than us and they have been at the bottom longer than us , so someone is not selling us very well

A little concerned with Sullivan. Has plenty of talent but is hot and cold. Loves the glory, bit of a hog. The top 5 status of most punchable face in the NRL also doesn't sit well.
