Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tiger_Yoshi]

So many people and media feel Luai is signing with the WT… i personally think he will stay with Penrith…all they need to do is come up with more 3rd party deals…this is playing out the same as Moses and Mitchell when they were heavily linked to the WT…and we all know how they ended

 

[GNR4LIFE]

If we get him at all ?

We are the embodiment of Gill

 

[Glenji95]

Nofa ?

If they want him they can have him. But I don’t think they’re that dumb.

 

[Mistymuzzle]

He wasn’t going to try anymore, his heart was set the moment he basically got told they want him to coach Panthers again. As much as the admin has been poor, I really can’t blame the decision to let him go. He wouldn’t have cared if we won or lost each week, he might’ve acted like he did, but deep down we know he wouldn’t have given a shit.

If the club had forced him to stay one more year we would have had Bennett coaching us the following year and history would have been very different

How?

if we forced him to stay one more year, Bennett still most likely ends up coaching Souths. He did coach them from 2019.

Loved that movie m

yeah it was good, was there a sequel? It ended like there was gunna be.

 

[gallagher]

Look, we’re flat out getting him for 25, let alone 24.

I don't think otherwise?!

Havn't seen one.

 

[Buttface]

Havn't seen one.

Googled it, in production for next year they reckon

 

[Needaname]

I thought he’d already extended with the Rorters ?

Wrong Connor

Not exactly. The only thing that prevented Bennett from signing with Tigers is they wanted him to start 2019 and he wasn't willing to back out of his Broncos deal, even though Broncos were not going to renew him after 2019.

If Tigers had agreed to sign Bennett from 2020 and forced Cleary to stay on for one more year, or hire a caretaker, assuming history at Broncos played out the same way, Bennett would then have been sacked in Dec 2018 and suddenly available.

As it was, Tigers decided they couldn't afford to wait until 2020 and moved to sign Maguire in October 2020.

For Souths, Seibold signed with Broncos starting 2020, and he didn't go early until Bennett was sacked. At that point Souths were left without a coach and Bennett basically fell into their lap.

BTW Bennett has said all of the above in public.

 

[Flippedy]

My gut tells me we’ll get Olam, but I understand where you’re coming from.

Definitely the most likely of the three.

 

[Mistymuzzle]

Nobody. Just like you.

Half right

Almost had Bellamy , almost had Bennett. Instead our coaching is made up of Jason Taylor and Madge

Rugby league is a funny game.
So according to the latest FOX article we’ve got Scott Fulton meeting with AFB in Haberfield Rowers last Thursday, meanwhile Benji is meeting with Luai over the past month.
Divide and conquer?
Also Warriors won’t release AFB a season early however are signing Capewell to a three year deal and are expecting the Broncos to release him early to them?
🤔

Do we not have offices to conduct business at HQ?
Seriously, why are we conducting negotiations at pubs/restaurants and in the public eye and then people complain that it is leaked.
This is not just us but all NRL clubs.
Just shows the lack of professionalism in NRL negotiations.
No different to negotiation signing for Campbelltown City or Picton Magpies
Lets discuss the contract offer over a beer/bottle of wine and a chicken parma in the bistro for everyone to see.

Fox have journalists camped at Concord most days. Actually less likely to be seen/papped by media at Haberfield Rowers than Concord

Once a week, the WT content team should do a Member’s Update with the CEO & Head of Football at the desk hosted by Chris Warren. 5-10 min clip of what’s news at the club the past week including putting to bed any false stories. Pascoe could talk about where Community dept has gone, what Events have been held etc etc, Betsey could update what squad has been doing, injury report, quash any rumours etc etc.

Plenty of interesting content even if no media stories to allay. No not Ask The Boss over 50 mins, just a concise update over 5-10 mins.

Wonderful idea!!
