“And another year of Bea Arthur will seal this clubs fate”
The same recruitment/retention advantages are there. It's why they've been able to replace Slater/Cronk/Smith with Papenhuyzen/Munster/Smith/Grant. They still have the same powerful but hard working pack that anchors their defence.

Point taken. Its a tough game and I dare say theres always niggles. It is interesting though to compare Rheeds and Clearys injurys. Both similar, both very tough players and both vital players to their respective teams. Weeks off might be an interesting comparison.
Don’t think it’s overkill, the main 3 are BA, Mark ONeil and Brendan Rogers and they make decisions on signings , the CEO just confirms the salary cap compliance and I believe integrity of the player, the Chairman is the sign off on the financial side. All teams would have similar set up, leaving signings to single person would bring cap issues, see Tigers/Dogs recently. Like most who knows what the personal dynamics are, but who in business agree all the time.I know the sources of this are from News Ltd but thought it might be of interest -

Yep.
Interesting thing about a lot of the Storm's recruitment is that they don't look as far as you think for potential junior recruits.
It's not about how far they look. It's who they can afford to have do the looking.
Hell of a coincidence that they became competitive when City Ford stopped sponsoring them.wonder if the $1 million that was on the front of the Roosters jersey when they couldn’t sign the back of a toilet door became an advantage when it was no longer there ?
It might just work.
I suspect any funds provided to any player from City Ford would be included as part of the Roosters salary cap. I'd suggest they wouldn't even need to provide money.
But winning a car for the longest drive on the 7th hole at Royal Bondi wouldn't be... amirite?
The point is he's no longer wasting his money on sponsorship. Must be doing something else with it.
Maybe they just have people there who are good at their jobs and we need to get people who are also good at their jobs?
Reminds me when Super League happened and the McIntyres sold the Raiders to News Limited and they had all these profits from licensed clubs with no ARL team to spend it on. So they spent it all on their team in the local comp, the Queanbeyan Blues. That season the Blues had a full time coach (Wayne Collins now assistant at the Tigpies) and many players on what would've been classified at the time as a full time wage for some. They won all three grades that season, no one came close to them. They spent something like $500,000 to win a $5,000 comp.
Yeah of course, but if it was that simple we would've done it over the past 35 years. There's a reason we haven't.
