Why is Fulton so well regarded?

[innsaneink]

Who recruited the Turbo brothers?

They're locals come thru the grades

Thank You Ink. But are they still recruited by someone

They're locals come thru the grades

But someone chooses the cream of the crop right? If it's not people like Mcdonnell or Fulton is it just common sense?

Of those clearly Olakau’atu is the stand out. You mean to tell me he noticed the biggest kid in Western Sydney and is claiming credit? 😂

Dogs junior I believe so they missed him.

 

[gregjm87]

Is there any more to it tho.

Because I'm not sure how great these boys go without turbo and DCE?

Those boys went undefeated in Harold Mats. Yeah they have a generational talent in that side as well (Fainu) but there is no such thing as a one man team.
And which team doesn't struggle without their 3 best current players (2 of which are spine players).

Not sure but I would say Bozo was part of their recruitment and development.

We’ll ask Melbourne on Saturday night.

Def did that well. Has a strong record with some of their pathways players.

VS

He also recruited Kelma Tuilagi from us...one of the worst defensive backrowers ever. They then leaked points down his edge whenever Tuialgi played.

And paid big bucks for garlic sauce and the wonderkid 800K Schuster and 2 million for the turbos a year

His sister??? Ok. Now that makes sense.

I'm thinking she should get some credit "(Kristie) Fulton was the manager of elite pathways at the Sea Eagles until late last year when she was sacked by the club during the rainbow jersey controversy that crippled the team and contributed to the Sea Eagles missing the finals."

Out-of-shape Manly NRL star Josh Schuster told to 'grow up', fix diet

Sacked Manly staffer Kristie Fulton has fired a public shot at injured Sea Eagles star Josh Schuster, calling for the young half to 'grow up' as he battles to retake his place in first grade.

I didn’t know he was well regarded. Certainly the Fulton name has opened a few doors for him.
hasn’t done anything yet for us that I am aware of.
hope he does something soon we need 2 halfs and centre Or 2

I always thought they were in the Manly system.

Now we are getting somewhere. Rest assured. I won't let my sister around any football players. Would you? Well..... a sensible one i guess - do they exist?

She would be safe around Luke Brooks...

Buzz and Hadley would not say a bad word about a Fulton no matter what. He is basically family to them.

Lee actually spoke to Ray Hadley about Fulton to get advice on hiring him (Hadley admitted himself that he had the phone conversation) because Lee supposedly knew very little about him.

As you have said, Hadley was best mates with Bob Fulton and is very close to the family, so of course he gave a glowing reference for the son.

Shame Lee didn't have time to run it past Sheens who no doubt would have objected to the idea, but that is beside the point, so I guess that in the end it was decided that the most expedient way to go about things was to go behind the Sheenius' back.

Don't get me wrong, I don't really have an opinion on McDonnell leaving, he seems to do it on a regular basis here, but gee, talk about meddling with the football department.

Yes, you mean coz he’s married a lovely woman and has a new Bub !

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Especially if he was expected to put in a kick that gets us a repeat set..

I'm puzzled and annoyed he released Ofahengaue without replacing his Roster spot but I'm prepared to give him 1 year before I judge his Recruitment/Retention. McDonnell had more than one stint and more than enough time to prove he's not great at it.

Usually with a key employee either Pascoe or Hagipantelis would have made an announcement, which in turn would have given us some idea behind the reasons for his hiring. Because Hagipantelis admits to knowing nothing about Fulton leads me to think that it was others on the board making that decision.

Interesting that Lee had to ask Justin (on a podcast) whether he had ever met Scott prior to his employment offer. You would think that would have been known at that point?! But nothing surprises me with that pair.

The both of them should be selling used cars on Parramatta road ..

The shonky Brothers used car lot
We know nothing

Lee says the board had an opportunity land in their lap and had to make a hasty judgement call. The secrecy surrounding the operation was necessary for such a delicate manoeuvre because Scott was employed by Manly at the time and there was the increasing danger of alerting those who may have risked derailing such a precision extraction and crossing of the harbour.
Is it possible that we could be going full Fulton on this ? Is there another Fulton preparing to take over from Benji?
I can understand completely, why Maguire rejected the offer from the Dragons.

Cmon that's normal.

Hey in your X year career, have you ever met Scott Fulton?
"yes we knew each other at Manly/Penrith because we met in junior leagues and formed a good friendship"?
OR
"No we have never crossed paths".

An example, we interviewed for a person.. were a team of 4. The two interviewers go way off script and start mentioning internal workers including Samantha. Interviewee goes "is that Samantha Fortiscue? I know her". Total Mic drop! As it was 100% random that in this team of 4 a candidate knew the person in our team. (this is kinda before linkedin where cyberstalking would occur).

He would have asked him earlier, but he was self promoting on a radio show commenting on recruitment efforts and shifting blame again
