So he basically said we dont have a HoF cos of financial reasons ..... who to believe?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Interestingly he said towards the end having a FM wouId make it easier for him.

Mulling over what BA, Bernie and Max have said about a Football Manager role, it seems that there was a round table moment when BA took a bullet for the betterment of the club.

Yea someone is lying. Bernie (or was it max) has previously said there were no restrictions on the football side of things and if BA wanted something they would make it happen.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

We need to fill that position.

“Our costs are OTT, where can we save money? BA?

Well I guess that we can merge a few roles.

Good let’s do that and revisit the situation at a later date.

========================

This is a plausible scenario but really, does the lack of a FM have such a dramatic effect on the performance of an NRL side ? I say that it contributes in so far as the coach needs to work longer hours or spread himself thinner, but it is not as significant as some (interviewer Hooper) was suggesting.

Agree. The position may help with recruitment but as far as our pre season preparation and week to week preparation as well as our shit discipline and execution, the position isn’t going to improve any of that.

Do you want to take BA at his word? Or do you want him to sort you out first?

BA never directly stated anything. Basically and cleverly avoided those questions without saying much and without contradicting his bosses.
Does BA want to relinquish any of the control he currently has? That is THE question. I personally dont know but I have my suspicions. On the reverse side BA wont critise anyone so maybe hes doing just that. Time will tell.

FFS I see BA is going to have to sort you out first

BA couldn't sort himself out let alone anyone else

BA can’t even part his own hair.

Bern did say that and the next day they hired a defence coach.

I reckon Max and Bern are full of shit and have thrown Ba under the bus.

 

[El Diablo]

get rid off all these three stooges

even when he had some he couldn't

You reckon this might shed some light on who is lying?

PARRAMATTA PLAN GURR ROLE CHANGE

THE performance of Parramatta chief executive Bernie Gurr has been the subject of much discussion at the Eels in recent months.

The board is now in the process of drawing up a strategic plan and Gurr’s role is expected to change.

There is a line of thinking that he spends far too much time with the football team while other NRL chief executives employ a head of football to look after the day-to-day operations.

Board members want Gurr to play a more big-picture, strategic role, to set up a new academy that is similar to Penrith, to fix the junior league pathways, to prepare for the move into the new Western Sydney Stadium and work on other longer-term projects.
