Firstly, I am making an observation. I don't expect anything to change.
Secondly, I haven't seen anything constructive accompany the typical 'he's shit', 'anyone can do better than our club', 'this club is f**ked' diatribes that I see. Happy for you to point me in the direction of some.
As for your suggestion:
How do you know that the club didn't look at other options apart from the one they chose?
Who independently vets the candidates?
How can you be confident that someone 'independent' will have a good enough understanding of what the club needs?
Just because they have chosen someone internally why do you assume it is a job for the boys? There are lots of instances in the corporate world where people get internally promoted and do a f**king good job.
Grabbing some popcorn in anticipation of Rams first blurt. Never disappoints
As for not seeing anything constructive, there have been plenty and I suggest you look a little harder then.
This is true. But I am not suggesting that you come up with brilliant solutions every time our club stuffs up. Just one would be nice!But as fans it is not for us to come up with brilliant solutions every time our club stuffs up, but most of us know a turd when we smell one.
FACT: Lots of good and shit people have been hired through both Parra's method of internal promotion and the Bulldogs' independent appointment process.As for Boulous's appointment, we all know of the ongoing factions on the board, and in this instance we heard how Shrapie and another board member had, lets say, opposing views.
Put it this way an independent appointment is like what the Dogs did when they appointed Raelene Castle, not Parras appointment of Boulous.
That is your opinion, not the clubs. If they thought that was the case, I doubt they would have hired him.As for companies promoting and hiring from within, sure of course, but not a guy that by all accounts has been unremarkable at best and fairly lousy at worst.
Agree with this mate and wouldn't suggest otherwise.Is he better then the previous lot, who knows who cares, they are hardly the yardstick we should be measuring him by.
Good luck with it mate. If you have any dramas I am sure Jake can recommend someone.Sorry I have to go, I have been fighting a plumbing problem the last couple of hours, and now it really needs my full attention.
Ciao.
I put a folder up on my profile...This is my ticket out of Penrith and into the mountains
tolman has close to the worst yards per runs stats in the nrl, you can't have your 1st ruck carry getting dominated at origin level. there are no easy metres, and if you lose the forward contest, you end up defending endless tackles as origin has proven
Exactly my point (although I don't know if stats back up your quote) so why bother having him in camp, I think most would agree he isn't an Origin player. Pou may have a point in that its a reward but why would Laurie reward him? Just seems strange to me. I think having Junior Paulo in the camp would give more value to a fringe origin player.
Yeah Junior is the reason we have missed the finals. Useless merkin!!Must be why his team keeps missing the finals.

When was the last time Tolman in a team missed the finals??? That's why I assumed you were talking about Junior.I was talking about Tolman. But you raise a good point - has Junior Paulo ever played in a good defensive side?
Don't take my word for it. Crunch the numbers for yourself Bigfella. I went from the starting point of the 2014 rumours that the coaching staff weren't happy with his dedication and effort. I've since watched him and the stats back up my observations.
