That's true, of course. Planning is vital. But I think it's much easier when you start from a consistently successful position (like Penrith, Melbourne, Easts, Broncos) than it is if you're struggling to get there. Notwithstanding salary cap cheating, political influence, etc.
A wall?
There is a supplementary list of 5 players (I think) able to play in/from game 1 so effectively 35 players. We have 1 spot left in this list - see TCT for list of players.Actually, when I look at the NRL lists that were all just updated for 2024, a whole bunch of clubs are sitting on 30. So what are the rules now ?
Previously, the Top 30 rules were actually published in the final paragraph in the below page, however this year, nuffin.
2024 NRL Signings Tracker: Dog gone: Addo-Carr sacked
The Bulldogs have announced the termination of Josh Addo-Carr's playing contract, effective immediately, after the star winger fronted the club's board on Thursday night.www.nrl.com
One can be ignored without enlisting the "ignor button". In some instances it can lead to the ignorer being officially ignored. Id suggest refusing to interact would be frustrating for some who thrive on the attention and claim alternate reasoning for pressing the button.
Same probably goes for pr0n... good to know.
Penrith were a pretty mediocre club during the 2010s. Broncos missed the finals two years in a row due to poor management. Just shows that even having a lot of resources isn’t a slam dunk for success if you don’t utilise them properly.
Obviously not! So is the answer that the recruitment team set up contracts that have consequences, significantly weakening the opportunities to refresh and strengthen. We have a coach that is willing to work with what he is given, the givers are not on top of the game by the look of it.
If they’re paying a lot of blokes less than what they’re worth then they will be able to fit more talent under the cap. Just like we did in 2021-2022. I suspect it’s unsustainable even for Penrith. We’ve seen the Storm and Roosters have peaks and troughs in the strength of their NRL squads as well. Why would it be any different for us? The Panthers club at the moment is an extreme outlier. They have cracked the code for squad succession but does that mean the other 16 clubs don’t know what they’re doing? Or just Parramatta?
But it doesn't mean any level of 'planning' can overcome a lack of resources. Also, 2010 was a long time ago. Penrith are a different club since Gould came in and secured funding. The level of resourcing available to a club isn't static. Remember how bad the Roosters were before Politis took over in the mid-90s? Even the Eels had (comparatively) massive resources in the late-70s/early-80s before corporate investment flooded the game and overwhelmed our poker machine advantage.
someone in your club told him to be there Phil? ..... look within - who can you throw under this bus?
If the club is so worried about Gould being spotted in this "meeting", maybe they should have hired one of its private f**king meeting rooms then...
