[Avenger]

Ken Edwards has already won me over by just announcing on channel 9 that Jarryd Hayne is the priority re-signing. Makes my day!!!!

 

[Tony Bongo]

Policies on the run, Tony?

No I would call employing Chris Anderson, sacking Kearney two weeks later and appointing Bob Bentley the Football CEO in the first place, examples of policies on the run. I've had the same policy all along i.e to make our fans and members the number one priority of our club. As for Edwards I'm interested in what runs he has on the board as far as the Knights and Jets fans were concerned and what it is he plans to do for ours.

Our number 1 priority should be to win a premiership.

Much easier with the best player in the world already on deck.

I'd just us to start making the semis again before thinking about a premiership.

Giving the fans what I'm sure we all desperately want in a premiership, is an example of prioritising us. It's why I have been calling for someone highly regarded and with football experience to be appointed the football CEO for ages. Hopefully he will get to do his job without any interference from the board! We have sort of put the cart before the horse with Ricky being appointed before the CEO was but hopefully it brings us success all the same.
I believe Bob Bentley is a good CEO to have running the Leagues Club and does a great job from what I've seen, but he was out of his depth the whole time running that and the Football Office. There is no doubt in my mind that our club is now in a far better position than we have been for the last year. God knows why it took so long but at least it's finally been sorted.

When are we going to make the fans accountable for the shithouse boards they keep voting in?

:lol:
What you think they haven't already paid enough for the choices they've made in the past?

 

[Ratchy]

As for Edwards I'm interested in what runs he has on the board as far as the Knights and Jets fans were concerned and what it is he plans to do for ours.

That would largely depend on how much interference Tinkler did into the running the show. From all reports he is big micro mananger.

Money.

A real CEO costs a lot more than a typical NRL club CEO. That's why most clubs have ex-players in the role. Because they cost a lot less, and it's an easier job than being CEO of a real business.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

That's true. Real CEO's cost millions.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Great news...

Finally it sounds like we have someone who see's potential in Parramatta...

Why not take on f**king collingwood, they are a tiny little suburb in North Melbourne, we have 2M people on our door step

I've been trying for the past four years :lol:!

 

[bartman]

I think it's great that the board advertised the position and seemingly appointed the best person possible. No jobs for the boys. No ex footballing mates. Many people have been asking for this.
Well done board.

Suity

Yep, they rightfully cop a bagging when they get it wrong (Kearney, Osborne) so they should get credit when they get it right (Sticky, Edwards, at least as far as we can tell so far).

Well done Board .
