Queue to hire Barry Russell

[President Trump]

First class NRL club CEO Barry Russell is now available for hire. First class because Greenberg and the ARL Commission say so. Basket case clubs, start queuing up for this managerial genius to administer your club and right the ship by spending day and night trying to prove that Ian Schubert hasn't been diligent enough in his yearly approval of your club's management!

Got a top coach? No fines and a full salary cap available? A lot of sponsorship deals winding up that won't be helped by months of media speculation about you viability?

Barry can solve all that.

I'm sure plenty will be self-reporting their interest.

 

[Disinterested third party]

Wasn’t much of a player either.

 

[typicalfan]

Too much integrity for the Sharks.

 

[Whip Whitaker]

He should sign with the Roosters because he can focus on running a club and not worrying about the cap.

Haha

Is it just me on is anyone else amazed at the geniuss they have running these clubs. Talk of cap rorting is put in official minutes at Parramatta. Emails and text messages that confirm you lied to the nrl and have broken the rules left on servers and phones. You're a million dollar business how can you be so dumb and make so much money ??

In other news Barry on his way home from shark park just called San sousi police to tell them he was doing 71 in a 60 on the grand parade... And he was talking on mobile whilst speaking to them whilst driving

Roosters officials have ruled out any interest in hiring Mr Russell for the foreseeable future. They wish him good luck in his journey.

He lives in Parramatta?

Reckon Barry will be back at headquarters in no time

 

[gerg]

I think it is more a far queue than a long queue.

They should have just borrowed 300k from the Leagues Club and paid it back at a later date. Worked for another club...

Rothmans Medal level bad? Plenty worse than him....

Plenty better too. Average half back. Played in some good teams. Rothmans Medal has always been a semi useful guide. The fairness aspect was a big factor at the time he won it. Also refs always noticed halves (they spent their time regulating the scrum feed a great deal more) and gave it to them half the time. Excuse the pun.

Ran well off Gavin Miller's short pass, a favourite footy memory involves him darting under the posts from the scrum base to win us the game against the Bulldogs in 88'.

merkin of a CEO.

The Rothmans medal was considered more prestigious than the Dally M medal back in the 80s and early 90s. Not semi useful lol.

 

[Disinterested third party]

It was. Australian representation was the best guide. He wasn’t within cooee.

 

[typicalfan]

His career was heavily affected by injury. Not saying he would have definitely represented given the quality halves of the time but it definitely had an impact.

a bit harsh. Rothamn's medal was pretty damn spot on.
