Should they have been squad fillers when you could promote a junior and give them experience and a pathway? Just a question btw
I'd like to hope not, but for whatever reason the club obviously didnt think there were sufficiently skilled juniors available or they would probably done that.
I'd agree. We had stacked our focus on NRL pretty much throughout 20-22 and as has been mentioned before, the pathways and juniors werent given as much $$ by the club during Covid. So while not excusable it makes sense as to why our juniors werent seen as ready. An increase in junior spending over the last 2-3 years as seen improvements in our junior teams and an increase in players that are nearing NRL readiness.
Every one of those forwards is better than most of ours… Gosiewski, Hetho, Hunt & Jensen walk into our top 17
Do you see any of those being targets for the Bears and needing a home for a year?
What posts? From who ?
So you're saying the the front office sign players without consultation with Ryles ? Here's me believing he had total autonomy. Did he want any of the players we have signed ? Did he want to release any that we have ? The juniors ? I hope he likes them, cos looks like he's stuck with them.Well, Jim Sarantinos went to lengths recently to explain how the club operates. The coach identifies the player, and it is then up to th recruitment officer and HOF to negotiate and sign the target. Pretty simple and gets the CEO off the issue, so if we see the CEO as correct, then no further explanation of our problems are needed.
Perhaps the issues have been there for a while and not centred on the coach
Might have been Ryles dropping hints to R&R cos they don't have his number.
Good grief, that’s not what I said . Go back to the politics thread, you’re wrong there too but preaching to your own kind
But isn't the fact our recruitment team got a star like Lomax for unders at 650K be to their credit? Not being devil's advocate here but this was a great deal by the club.
I think I said this in another thread, but if Lomax is so desperate to leave already we should let him go to Rugby but cash in ourselves by negotiating a nice big fat transfer free from the Qataris or whichever middle east franchise is backing this 360 farce.
He’s like 35…. And a transfer fee does shit all for us.
Just joking on the Semi Radrada trade but we can legitimately make some money from the Taliban or whoever is running that 360 comp.
To be honest, the deal was brokered by BA. Fortunate in a sense thst it was completed by R&R prior to his sacking. BA met snd persuaded Lomax to sign for the Eels
