Knights Lower Grade Stuff

[Dr Dr Gimedanews]

So stupid question but what does Parr, O'Sullivan, Gardner do actually? How do their roles differ for us?

I was wondering the same. If Sully is responsible for the list Management/Salary Cap or just Recruiting.

Gardner runs the Knights as a business, Parr runs the Knights as a football club, O'Sullivan runs the recruitment

Every aspect of roster management is O'Sullivan's job including scouting, negotiating and cap management. Parr would sign off on O'Sullivan's decisions technically but you don't get the most expensive recruitment manager in the game for him to then be told how to do his job.

In certain circumstances you might have the CEO come over the top and take decisions out of the GM's hands, like it was reported Gardner negotiated one of Ponga's extensions himself.

Typically recruitment will involve a panel which id imagine in this case would be Parr, O’Sullivan and AOB along with whoever looks after the books in terms of salary cap budgeting (CFO). I’d imagine Gardner would be spending most of his time looking after the Wests side of the business which includes 6 registered clubs and an events centre and probably would only get involved for high level things. Given O’Sullivan comes with a huge reputation he’d have a lot of say in what the roster looks like compared to Adam Doyle.

Ah so O'Sullivan isn't just in charge of youth recruiting. He will recruit all ages and all positions??

I’d say O’Sullivan will be tasked to build up our scouting network at junior levels and will be a keen observer at all the schoolboy carnivals
