But in this case we can't overspend because of the salary cap. O'Neill surely knows this. To make the claim that the board have recently made some very tough decisions regarding recruitment is at the least disingenuous. They may have the power to get involved or veto a signing but have they ever? I'd bet they haven't.
So when the board (or those board members involved in the recruitment and retention committee) decided not to match the Dogs offer to Reed or the Tigers to Ice, they weren't tough decisions ?
Which is it, the board or the board members on the recruitment committee?
Your semantics is getting boring and it's clear that you are now just trolling.
Meanwhile Matterson's move to the middle is paying dividends.

Yeah mate, anyone that disagrees with your neverending defence of every single thing the club does is just trolling. Not getting involved in something that they really aren't very involved in anyway now constitutes 'making very tough decisions'...Your semantics is getting boring and it's clear that you are now just trolling.
All because I said that the board has made some tough decisions of late, on the back of a claim that they don't have the kahunas to make tough decisions. Round and round and round.
Everyone that doesn’t agree with Gronk is a troll lol, forum cop at it again.Your semantics is getting boring and it's clear that you are now just trolling.

Amazing Brad thinks the same thing as one of his players, what a deep thinker and student of the game he really is. We are in safe hands with Brad Peeps, did I tell you all he bleeds blue and gold???Meanwhile Matterson's move to the middle is paying dividends.
The Eels junior grew up as a five-eighth, and is able to see his role in the middle as similar to that.
"I'm more involved," he said.
"I get my hands on the ball a lot more and I get to choose whether to run or pass.
"Back row at the moment people are running lines and you're a bit more of a crash player. But I enjoy being a ball-player."
His shift from edge to middle came after raising the topic with coach Brad Arthur early in the pre-season, with Matterson having toyed with the idea for the past two years after being signed as an edge.
"Brad said 'I am glad you said that, because I was thinking the same thing'," Matterson said.
Eels to start talks with Matterson on deal
Parramatta will meet with Ryan Matterson's management in the next fortnight as the Eels begin their fight to retain the off-contract back-rower.
He was re-signed on a two year deal?? Considering he was looking at offers at other clubs makes me think he was seen as more than just a fringe first grader.

Nice try.Amazing Brad thinks the same thing as one of his players, what a deep thinker and student of the game he really is. We are in safe hands with Brad Peeps, did I tell you all he bleeds blue and gold???
*Awaits gronks whinging of sarcasm and trolling
Even if he has a coaching clause he’s not going to get more money anywhere else. Not at this stage of the year.
At the time he resigned, we still had Marata and Papali’i on the books as well as Lane and Matterson playing second roe. How could he have been signed as anything but a fringe option?
Cartwright is basically an edge player, when he signed Marata / Lane / Papa / Matterson were also here and in the top 17. All are edge players too (yes they may not always play there)….so that’s 4 edge player, how many more edge players are required in the top 17?
How do you know if he got any other offers?
Well it was reported yes I know reported that the saints were very interested in him, there was a few clubs sniffing around. Yes I know the media are only a good source when it suits Pou and Gronk………
