I'm sure it wasn't but he knew what he was capable of. Waking out on contracts that is. Due diligence ?

Not concerned about 'the talk'. He had about 18 months left on his warriors contract and signed elsewhere. But when he did it here pascoe was shocked?
I think that's a harsh judgement. Anyone is capable of anything, but there is a measure of likelihood versus probably wont happen. Is Pascoe responsible for that appointment? 100%. If it turns bad, should he pay the price? 100% (that's the luck of being a CEO). Is it through any negligence or poor operations? I'm not seeing it.
What's your thoughts on the CEO's, Chairman/Chairwomen, Board members, Recruitment teams and talent scouts before he arrived?

Agreed.
Every club has 'pathways' and ours would need to be fundamentally better by a long margin.
If they were the results would be there. They're not.
The new pathways programs and staff have been there about 5 mins - it'll take years to show whether or not the systems are working.
The COE hasn't even fully opened yet.
There's plenty of mud to sling at the club, but let's be realistic.

If that is true then why does the Board not sack Pascoe?
Pascoe may indeed be incompetent, in which case it is the fault of The Board for retaining his services. That's the same Board however that rubber-stamped Tim Sheens.

The Sheens decision was a good one, I’ll give them that one. We now have someone who understands the politics in RL.
Too many bad decisions before that lead me to believe they’re just not up to it.
Outside looking in, we’re just a soft organisation that is quite okay to just be there making up numbers. Nowhere near bullish enough in the cut throat world that is rugby league.
Maybe the balance sheet looks ok, but players don’t give a toss about that. They care about their brand and the ability of the club to win and play in big games.

Not much, I thought Noyce was pretty goid at getting the club of its knees after the first three years of garbage. Whoever got sheens did his job there. Generally we've been very poor and continue to be that way.

My issue is that the pathways system seemed to fall away. How does a competent CEO allow that to happen?

Wasn’t it a conscious decision because the big clubs pilfered our rep stars?

Supposedly....... but we're getting a gym
Wait hold the phone! We have had a competent CEO?

The best! Remember when forumers thought Greenburg was worried about Pascoe taking his job. 😅
I agree - it was beyond ridiculous that a club like WT could ever let their guard down on development and pathways. There's been a succession of CEOs and front office regimes that appear to have been completely hopeless - the club has been aimless both short and long term. The Mayer era in particular seems to have set us back years.

And only fixed 6 years later.
More like 10 years later.
Our development fell off a cliff in the early 2010s.
Great that it's finally being looked at, but farcical that it's taken this long.

When they sacked Sheens all the footy smarts left the club. He is possibly the only smart person the club has ever employed.

And whoever was responsible for not firing him when he was suspended for breaking the rules and handicapping the football club that apparently is not his department.
