Just listened to the Dragons Den podcast with Ben Haran. He said we haven't had a recruitment manager for the last 18 months. No explanation as to why the hell not. It's like the Board are doing their best NOT to succeed.
You might be closer to the mark than you think.

Particularly with the recent revenue sharing news with Canterbury.

There’s no doubt that rationalisation of Sydney clubs is coming and it’s obvious we’d be in the gun with the Tigers.

I don't agree! We and the Tigers participated in the last JV experiment and are still recovering. Let someone else cop the pain.

We as a club are pretty much becoming irrelevant... continual failures...unfortunately the way we are managed, I could see us being made redundant...

If anyone you knew continually delivered the results we do in the real world they would be told to pack their bags....we have been a basket-case since Wayne Left the building.

Listening to Haran on the Dragon's Den podcast and I lost count how many times he said, "it's all about results", 'the NRL is all about wins", we're doing everything we can to win, blah blah...

Mate, as GM of Football, you have presided over the failure of this once great club.

Why hasn't the new CEO shown him the door???!

St George League's Club, with 50% ownership, is financially very stable. The problem with the Dragons is largely due to the owners of WIN Corp viewing St George Illawarra as a tax deduction rather than a potentially successful investment.

Not an easy problem to solve. Maybe the NRL could review the licence and discover the WIN ownership is not in the best interest of the club.

Don't let DA's disability worry you, I work with quite a few folks with spinal injuries.. everything he needs is above the neck line.. i.e. his brain and his personality... he will just need some help with the day to day stuff.

And yah hes on next weeks podcast (had the flu today), super super keen to hear from him.. sounds like much more than just a recruitment guy.. seems in charge.

If we succeed, DYoung won't get an opportunity to upgrade from Senior Assistant Coach to Head Coach. Sabotage from Doust and CYoung to move SFlann on. Sounds absurd, but wouldn't put it past this dynamic duo.
