Spartan is DA, no other explanation to explain his bitterness.

Anyway can we forget the politics and get on with the rumored signings please.

in defence of the current coaching staff there wasn't much left in the market to buy in the way of players when they were given the job. But our CEO had the whole of season 2010 to sign players but it didn't happen.

The CEO also flew to Melbourne to court Stephen Kearney without the knowledge of the board.

Well who recruited Mcguire, Webb, Maitua and co? Anderson. So yes, Anderson was largely responsible for our recruitment up until his sacking.

Anderson was also responsible for signing shackleton, poore and murray along with the release of mateo, inu and keating.

Besides maybe tahu everyone else signed and released was thanks to ando

yeah that's right, DA made some good signings and freed up a lot of cap space (or do you think we should have paid the going rate for the 3 that left and not had money to sign anyone else ). Unfortunately for him he wasn't given the opportunity to spend the cap space and form a team to his style. The writing was on the board from about August and it has been reported that DA, lost control of recruitment around this time. It was also reported here he only received full control around February of last season as well, so only had 9 months in full control.

Im not argueing whether they were good decisions or not. Im arguing that DA had the say in all recuitment (signings and releases) over 2009/2010 besides probably Tahu.

Quade Cooper doesn't count because he never signed.

If you can point out some other signings that Ando didn't want please enlighten us

DA was quite happy to have Tahu at the club, he said it himself...

besides, this is seriously getting ridiculous...

I'm confused. Is the rumour that we are going to sign Paul Osbourne to cover the loss of Fui? Or are we signing DA to play half?
