Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I feel if we punt Fulton we are going to have a very upset couple of new signings in the Fainu brothers.

I know players don't sign for recruitment managers, but given their strong relationship they would obviously not be thrilled with his treatment - warranted or not.

Then there's the grubby player managers who would also dislike us more.

If there really is a problem, someone needs to mediate and find a way forward.

Can’t be much. Not too many clubs in any sport who are backed by a millionaire are perennial cellar dwellers.

I seem to remember a number of years ago he was interviewed and he said he offered to pay 3rd party money to any 4 players wanted by the club and nobody got back to him.
 
For those talking about Lucas Neill going bankrupt...

16% of retired NFL players go bankrupt, Fortune.com). A Sports Illustrated article reports that 78% of NFL players and 60% of NBA players face serious financial hardships after retirement.

They're on good coin as well
 
Today's the day! It's the 8th!
Mistanon promised that today we will hear the big announcement re Luai.
What will happen? Will Mistanon be vindicated or will we be teased with a new date like his brother Qanon is famous for.
Only the sands through the hourglass will provide the answer.

So we finally have an ounce of respect from player managers and from a recruitment perspective, an element we have been weak in forever, and the club make moves that will remove the newly appointed recruitment manager.

I do believe if Lee goes fulton goes, which will set the club back for another decade.

your idolisation of Fulton is pathetic, to the point where you believe that an external review after two straight spoons could somehow be a bad thing.

yes Fulton has relationships with managers and players, but so does every other recruitment manager in the game. wake up.

Haha My God, that’s even worse. Could you imagine the Storm, when Bellamy’s time is up replacing him with someone who they concede don’t know if they can coach? People wonder why we are where are.

I think Melbourne would go Billy Slater or an old Bellamy boy some who understands Melbourne football

He’s already moved the goal posts to the 12th.

Nice words, but does not address years of weak recruitment at tiger land.

You also make up that I've met Fulton. Who does that.

Take your own advice clown.

Best story I heard about sportsman’s money came from Gordon Tallis on the telly one day.
When he started getting decent sized footy contracts his Mum said if he wasn’t playing football he’d be a labourer, so he he had his various clubs pay him roughly a labourers wages, and hold the rest.
As he got towards the end of his career he was able to retrieve some sizeable coin that set him up in a new house etc.
Gordon’s Mum knew best eh, wise old lady !
Whilst Lucas got paid $70k pw but probably spent about double that living the EPL dream.
Now that’s all he’s left with, memories. And now we know why he is reclusive about Socceroo reunions and Oz visits, he’s ashamed of himself and what he’s done.

Not the only person who had a lot and lost it - thinking the party would never end.

Pissed off about that one. Not just for the
wallabies but for us too. I was talking him
up on here ages ago. Local Burwood boy,
went to St Pats Strathfield, played for the
Burwood Concord Wolves. It sucks the
chooks got him. Although it doesn't
surprise me one bit haha. They share the
same facilities at Moore Park with the Tahs
too. Politis would have been all over it...
shame. Would have loved him on the wing
at our club, heard there's a clause to go back
to rugby for the 2027 world cup, the deal
at the roosters is for 2025-2026 seasons

By the time 27 comes around he'll be long forgotten in rugby - there'll be plenty of others in his place over the next 2 years. If Sualilii kicks on and Korobiete stays he won't get a look in - he'll stay at the Roosters.
