Millward was specifically appointed to his current position - official reason being Mary could not coach and spare the time for recruitment/pathways/retention duties. Unofficially it was because of a backroom old boys deal.

Millward did extend Aitken and Lafai long term despite poor form the previous season and the fact that no one was chasing their signature. A short term extension with some performance KPI's relating to an option in favour of the Club would have been the way to go at the time.

People have already answered you on these points...You continue to ignore and push your own agenda of what you think is happening rather than actually having the facts...

Both these players were extended because that is what the Coach wanted....It is pretty simple...anyway carry on...have a good day possm.

The truth is Possm...Mary did not have time to get involved with the $$$$$$$ of how much to pay etc...as he was dealing with player managers as well in the early stages.
He is still and advised with the last say re recruitment / retention when the figures are presented to him.
Millward does do some finding but does not appoint and let anyone go on his own.

Sorry mate, you're required to stick around for all of it!
Its already December, only a couple of months and we will get to watch the Mary bus putt and splutter along again or maybe even finally grind to a halt.

My mind switched the end of two consecutive words in that post and I think the mental picture has scarred me for life..

Millward is head a department outside the coaching department. This structural chance was brought about:

  • To help Mary concentrate on coaching rather than other responsibilities
  • To affor a plumb job to the son of one of the old boys power broker
All coaches at SGI and St George were in charge of pathways/recruitment/retention. Yes they did have dedicated staff to offer recommendations to the head coach but in the end the buck stopped at the head coach.
