Rumours and Stuff

Has someone ever been on a panel to select an entire new board at the Roosters ever then turned around and been offered the job of CEO of the Roosters by that board he has just given their jobs to?

Doesn't that describe the entire history of Denis Fitzgerald?

When was he at the Roosters?

He was also involved in the sport when it wasn't anywhere near as professional.

It's not like they gave the job to an ex-footballer. Sarantinos was previously the COO and had some corporate jobs before that. The pool of suitable candidates would in reality be very small.

Got a relo working there, living in Port Moresby.....was to going visit them next year. Started researching a trip there, f**k that...not going. Way too much hassle...dangerous.....and the stories our relo has told us....aren't a good place.....

I’ve never been there, but my partner went there once for work.
She said parts of it are quite beautiful, but it is an incredibly dangerous place, especially for a woman.
She had to have security with her wherever she went.

PNG will be attractive to younger players wanting to make a break in the NRL and players at the twilight of careers.

with the aus gov building a compound for the players and their families, it will essentially be rent and utility free, resort style living plus tax breaks for 9 months of the year. These players won’t be out and about on the streets of Port Moresby without being flanked by guards.

you look at players who come 2028 will be in the last 2 years of their careers and they’ll be the main targets, along with a bunch of squad NRL players who are willing to take a chance. No players with kids needing to go to school will be heading over there to put their kids in the PNG education system
