I wonder if the goings on behind the scenes has affected her decision ?
Probably will still end up in sports admin somewhere.

of course it did, she publicly rebuked dib & his cronies for talking to the RLPA behind the back of the NRL subcommittee responsible for negotiating the CBA , of which Castle was a member. Dibb & Politis want a big salary cap because they have the leagues club backing to underwrite any losses, while half the other clubs want a lower cap so they get a higher grant to help make their club financially sustainable.

Mate, she has achieved absolutely NOTHING as CEO. It's almost as if the bar has been set so low, the next CEO will seem be an automatic upgrade.

I don't think she's done an outstanding job by any stretch but to suggest she's done nothing is the most ridiculous thing I've read today.

 

[Irish-bulldog]

Any ideas on who's going to replace her ?. Question for anyone involved, are the dogs still one of the last profitable Sydney clubs ?.

Thats pretty harsh...

The club wasnt a ruin when she can in, so you cant expect her to tear the place down and rebuild.

You made the finals the year before she arrived and every year after. Her entire task was to make incremental improvements that average fans will never notice.

What did you expect her to do???

You have to be the most dramatic person on here.

Castle did a pretty good (not great) job at running the club, I'd be happy if she continued.

One criticism of her tenure was she was too lenient on some of the players when they needed to be brought into line. I can't quite remember the instances but I do remember that it was an opportunity for her to take a strong stance against some poor player behavior and she publicly did nothing. But I cant even remember the situation, so it couldn't have been that bad.

 

[Timmah]

Might not be a popular opinion given the giant red logo but to bring an international brand like Kia onto the front of the kit is a significant win, at least financially.

 

[Barkley]

Yes of course. The Kia sponsorship is a massive coup for the club.

Mate have you seen the current state of the club? It IS a ruin. She's brought club down. Let's review:

• Signing Des Hasler to a longer-term deal when he had not achieved anything with the club bar make the finals (anyone can tell you he's past his best).
• The 2 Premierships by 2020 goal is something that will NOT be achieved (mark my words on that)
• Membership is at it's lowest point since 2011 when the club wasn't making the finals
• Kia... the worst possible logo to go with our jersey

Greenberg was the best CEO we've had in years. Then to go from one of the best to one of the worst... it's a pretty hard thing to digest.

I'll never forgive her for resigning des to a long term contract.

A club making the finals each year (including two Grand Finals) is "a ruin"?

I'm also fairly sure strategic plans are usually aspirational - what a business wants to achieve, not what it definitely will achieve.

Membership at it's lowest point? How do you come up with blatant lies?
2014 - 16,515
2015 - 18,240
2016 - 20,703
2017 - 18,269

Kia can put a purple monkey dishwasher on the front for all I care, if they're willing to back the club their logo deserves it's place on the front.
