Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Hasn’t one of the big criticisms around Sarantinos been that he doesn’t care about club?
Anyway I wasn’t really referring to board/senior management (although it is a reflection on them) but the actual working stiffs. And sorry if some of them are on here or people know them, but some of them are truly f**king hopeless.
If winning starts in the office, we ain’t winning for awhile. There’s been some fairly significant turnover recently but I have little confidence about any replacement being the right person.

Also on that, I don’t mind Kellyville but firstly they f**king need to get the actual office built ASAP, the demountables are some dreary shit, and secondly I worry that it disconnects us from the simplicity of corporate connections (read TPAs) that Parra city offers. It’s not impossible to have them but why complicate it.

What do you think is required to get better people?

And do you think any of us on here need reminding of what Pou posts?

dunno life is better when he's on the mute

 

[Twizzle]

What’s a fair offer?? And a talent like him should have been under and lock and key long ago. It should never have gotten to this stage. But but but the PO was real smart apparently.

a month ago most here said he can go because he was shit and he was subsequently dropped

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You can't just say oh boo hoo, we don't have mobile forwards.....this is what coaching staff are there for. They should be training them to become more mobile and putting them on diets if they are overweight.....

Players can only be improved so much. That’s why clubs pay big money for better players.

I remember back in the Brian Smith days, we had dietitians that had every player on weight plans, and meals sent to each player daily.

No way our amateur tinpot club has dieticians ffs

Define "most"

From what I was reading, the sentiment was that he wasn't ready for first grade and that he needed more time in NSW Cup in whatever position we are grooming him for in the future in the top grade. I don't recall "most" saying he should be released

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What are you basing the 'close to a mill' on?

To be fair, I’d believe he’s on that much.

when it was reported he wanted to test the market

Big, long and exhausting interview process

 

[lingard]

The manager works for the player.
Other players have told their employees they're not interested in leaving the current club.
Work our something with them.

Yeh but you know what you're like.

I'd go long and exhausting scouting process before the interview stage, I reckon we need the right people in the right positions which we currently don't have

and Isaac Moses is a grub

Again, you haven't defined "most" but at the very least I would assume most means more than half the people posting on the subject expressed the view that he was crap and should be let go. I don't think it was anywhere near that number of people expressing that view.

Dylan Brown in my opinion has done little to earn the money (and deal) we gave him so far.

Moses is a brilliant player and Dylan has moments and is a great defender, but I wonder if his money couldn’t be better spent elsewhere with a more stable 6 on less coin.

I’ve yet to see him really own any game since Moses has been out. I’ve certainly seen Moses own games without Dylan though.

I’m not saying he isn’t a good player, but maybe Moses makes him look quite good…

In an ideal world I'd prefer a player like Sanders than a player like Drown.

Drown is an exceptional talent. Sanders has a lot to show before you can even compare him to drown

he's been our best player since Moses has been out imo

 

[Twizzle]

*Isaac

yeah, thats a given

 

[Incorrect]

Has been the only one genuinely putting in each week IMO. Hasn't brained it but his efforts cannot be questioned unlike plenty of his comrades...

When every other Eel was hands on hips not chasing while 6 or 7 dolphins were running wild for another try in Darwin. Who was the only Eel chasing?? Dylan
