Darren Mooney Departs.

[Knight Vision]

If true, it’s a pretty amazing turnaround with the club and the high standard Wests expect, where suddenly a person of Mooney’s calibre isn’t considered good enough.

A lot of the stuff on there is total rubbish but some has turned out to be true. Pretty wild claim though, almost to wild to be made up. Perhaps we've simply put the feelers out. One things for sure Wests arent aiming low.

 

[Matt23]

Wests arent aiming low.

Which would seemingly rule a nuffy like Hagan out of the running...

 

[Spot On]

Canavan was the bloke charged with reviewing the pitiful NSW Origin set up and making recommendations to fix it.

Ended up improving nothing.

Same at NRL headquarters.

Can't say I'm excited.

 

[Swarzey]

nospam47 is absolutely shithouse. Probably the worst source when it comes to ya know...news.

But if Canavan is who we're targeting, then f**k long term we should be optimistic with Wests in charge.

Highly respected though, was with the Roosters for a number of years as well.

 

[Spot On]

Apparently.

There was much fan fare about him going to the Gold Coast. That lasted nearly 4 months.

There was much fan fare when he left the GC to join the NRL in 2016. Is in charge of pathways, participation and game develoment. What has he achieved in that role? If reports are true about him coming here, then he's lasted 2 yrs in that crucial job.

So what has he actually achieved, besides being at the Roosters, who have not missed a beat since he left there and won't while Nick Politis is running the show?

What are his achievements on the merry-go-round?

 

[Pedge1971]

Fair criticism. Though you never really know what goes on behind the scenes at the NRL and I cannot imagine the job would have been made easy with all the politics and intervention by clubs and media that goes on.

The job at the Knights is nowhere near as big.

Who has got much of anything done at either the GC or NRL? Both are dumpster fires.

Bit hard to believe that this professional club is the same one we’ve been supporting for 30 odd years.

wow, we got an up-grade. He's got an impressive resume. Finally it seems we have an administration with some resources and know how.

Lets see him put the runs on the board in the role first, huh?

Yep,he's got big shoes to fill...
Mooney's influence was outstanding.

 

[Burwood]

So who is covering Mooney’s role? Canavan seems to be overseeing the entire operation, but not involved in recruitment. Are Pezet and McKinnon meant to be stepping? It’s too much workload on Brown when he is already head coach.

.... needs to spend a decent amount of time in the job unlike the last couple.

Has it been explained why he has left such an important role at the NRL??? I've heard/read nearly zip about the job he was employed to carry out.

I thought it was Pezet.

What's his background the past 5 yrs or so?

 

[Frederick]

According to his LinkedIn:

Pezet is one of Bennett’s guy.
He’s a goodie.

 

[Swarzey]

Well, I can barely stomach it but I agree with Woosh, Pezet is good. He recruited our current Jersey Flegg team and our lower grades which have been consistently good in recent years. Natural career progression, keen to see how he goes. He'll have Canavan to help him, especially when it comes to our cap and there's nobody better in the game for that.

 

[Frederick]

f**k me. Bloke wil be missed, big time.

Huge loss. Pretty shattered. Worried that we'll go back to signing Antonio Kaufusi and Beau Henry types now.

WE CANT HAVE NICE THINGS

Yep, the sky is definitely falling down. Hysterics warranted. Carry on people. Especially you, Spot On
