Why not Flegler and Lenui
Now you're talking!Why not Flegler and Lenui
Why not Flegler and Lenui
Exactly what I’d be hoping for, but as we know we struggle in the recruitment department so it’s a tall order. So if I had to pick a top priority it’d be Leniu. Also, perhaps they have someone else in mind that’s off contract next year or the year after they’d like to go after, so signing up flegler and Leniu could blow that possibility out of the water. Who knows?Why not Flegler and Lenui
Flegler would be a great catch, probably end up at the Dogs LolReported the other day Flegler might be squeezed out of the Broncs, so if there is truth to that I'd definitely go for him over Thompson. Will command similar prices but Flegler is more damaging, younger and has that mongrel we need. Thompson's a steady option who will do a good job but probably won't provide you with much more. I still think Leniu should be the priority prop target for next year though.
100% AgreeNo matter how you look at it, our club seems not to prioritize having a good recruitment/retention staff. Some old but sound rules have just gone missing and we don't really know who is responsible for this function at our club right now.
I believe a two-man team is doing the job and one of them Is the head of football Haran. Of course, at our club, it goes without saying that the people now 'unofficially' in charge of this area are most probably getting an upgrade in pay.
It is time to hire Nathan Brown to head off recruitment and retention. He has a good eye for talent and has been successful in bring good talent to clubs that he has been associated with.
The position has been vacant for 3 months and seemingly no hurry to appoint a full time recruitment manager…. Hence the total lack of new signings… most clubs already signing for 2024, while we are still deciding if we need a recruitment manager.. why am I not surprised100% Agree
With No decision likely to be made publicly on Hooks future till at least Late April , the only way we can recruit any marquee players for 2024 will be with a high profile and respected General Manager . Haran is a likeable bloke but has not been able to succeed in attracting the marquee player we badly need.
I understand Brownie wants the job and would be a great addition to the club right now .
With the window to recruit established first graders for season 24 Likely to close in the next 2-3 months this appointment needs to happen now
A results driven coach together with several top class players in the backs and forwards and a good blending of youth will get us into finals I think. Even if we had a top quality coach now, would the squad we have be good enough to reach finals footy?Until there's an extra-ordinary Board meeting alled to 'discuss' the coach, there's really nothing to suggest he is going to be replaced anytime soon. Not saying it won't happen, but at this stage it is just media talk and wants from forumites.
There's a lot of determining factors In play, some we know very little about. As we seem to focus onlyf on the 'W' column.
The biggest question is whether a 'new' coach would indeed turn the fortunes around. Yes. It has worked for some, it there are plenty of examples where it doesn't, the Titans and The Knights spring to mind.
Would anyone say Ricky's tenure at the Raiders has been successful, or Arthur's at the Eels? Yet they are still there, even though supporters were calling for their removal.
So, why is that? Maybe it is more than just what's in the 'W' column that we just aren't privy to.
In saying that, we should be looking for a results driven season. Hanging around in the bottom half of the table is not what this proud club needs or should want. If Hook isn't the one to drive us back into finals contention, then the hard talk has to be had. However, the issue remains, would a new coach achieve any better? Unfortunately, no-one can 100% guarantee that.
I think you have voiced the sentiment of a vast majority of supporters.What irks me the most is the deadly silence of the club in regards recruitment and forward planning.. sadly the place looks totally void of any vision or strategy
Awaiting the final salary cap figure, the CEO has stated this, I'm hoping for a big forward signing then, no idea who.What irks me the most is the deadly silence of the club in regards recruitment and forward planning.. sadly the place looks totally void of any vision or strategy
Excellent first post. You’ll fit in well.What irks me the most is the deadly silence of the club in regards recruitment and forward planning.. sadly the place looks totally void of any vision or strategy
Agree with most you say but I would have been happy to have had Parramatta’s recent record under ArthurUntil there's an extra-ordinary Board meeting alled to 'discuss' the coach, there's really nothing to suggest he is going to be replaced anytime soon.
