Which head coaches at St George?, I can tell you factually that kids pathways and lower grades were not reporting to Bennett while he was here. So that leaves Brown, Farrar & Price in recent memory and I doubt that.
your right ,but a gooood coach would help.
If they reporting to a manager, than that manager reported to the head coach. Please advise who you think they reported too.
No, you said St George used to and other NRL coaches are reported to by all and sundry including pathways. I asked you who in both St george and NRL 1st?...then I will answer your supplementary question which in Bennetts tenure was the board.
Millward is a useless recruiter, The only good signings are a gamble that pays off. Most of his good signings are players that their current club wanted to discard.
Do you stop to think or know that likely the Dogs in desperation paid overs for him as the current NZ captain. That alone demands big dosh as market value. Is he worrth it?. Panthers dont think so. Tigers could not afford him, they said so themselves, obviously nor could we had room under the cap for him.Millward is a useless recruiter, The only good signings are a gamble that pays off.

DWZ was available and so many on here said we didn't have a chance because DWZ had a close association with Madge at the Tigers; the Tigers had the inside running so Millward did not have a chance to sign him.
Move on a couple of days and DWZ signs with the Bulldogs. Their coach is on a par with Mary when it comes to credibility and the Club is sitting towards the bottom end of the ladder just like SGI. The simple fact is that their recruitment officer obviously had a better pitch than ours. See article below:
DWZ signs with Bulldogs after bitter Panthers exit
The contract saga surrounding Dallin Watene-Zelezniak is finally over after the Canterbury Bulldogs landed the signature of the New Zealand captain on Sunday morning.
What began with interest from the Eels, and led to discussions with the Wests Tigers and North Queensland Cowboys, has finished with the 23-year-old inking an 18 month contract with the Bulldogs.
However the Tigers, who were in the best position to sign him given the relationship with New Zealand coach Michael Maguire, were unable to move a player on in time to secure his signature.
Watene-Zelezniak was released by the Panthers on Friday night after he was dropped from the club’s NRL team three weeks ago.
A huge attraction to the Bulldogs was his existing relationship with Reimis Smith, the son of Watene-Zelezniak’s manager Tyran Smith, and fellow Mormon Will Hopoate – who is also managed by Tyran Smith.
The Cowboys were appealing, however Watene-Zelezniak was reluctant to relocate with his family given he has two young kids.
It’s understood Watene-Zelezniak informed Maguire he wouldn’t be joining the Tigers on Saturday, before agreeing to terms with the Bulldogs later that night.
Watene-Zelezniak’s release from the Panthers opens up a spot on the club’s roster, which as revealed by NRL.com on Saturday, could be filled by Tyrone Peachey.
"The acquisition of Dallin is fantastic news for the club and the vision we have going forward," Bulldogs CEO Andrew Hill said.
"Not only is Dallin a great player but he is a quality person and a leader. As the current Kiwi captain he provides us with both class and proven ability and he will be a major addition to our back line.
"On the back of Joe Stimson from the Storm agreeing to terms last week, Dallin’s signing is another significant step in the right direction for the club and we welcome Dallin and his family to Belmore and look forward to our members and fans getting the chance to watch him play."
SGI didn't even get a mention, which means Millward was out of his depth. We bought too many nuffys and because of this we may be short on salary cap or may not. Who knows, no one is honest enough to say.
Lots of merit except that Robson is already gone.
Lomax could be our long term fullback if only he is given the opportunity in this 'gap year' to be given the chance.
You said we were and could not get the deal done? Maybe we were not interested as probably 12 other clubs.
Good on ya Sammy, you've got it!

According to you if we don’t have the current Australian train on squad, player for player, then recruitment is not doing their job.
