I think Flanno also needs to shut the hell up about who he is trying to sign. Barely a peep out of Sharks and just like that signed. Keep things behind closed doors, at least that way when we inevitably fail miserably no one knows about it.
It was very much hush hush with the last two coaches around who they were targeting and that never worked either.

I doubt it plays any part and I’d rather we knew. It’s already very clear to the rest of the comp how desperate we are. It can’t get anymore embarrassing.

Not sure but I'd imagine that Millward's position as Head of Recruitment was not advertised to try and find the most qualified specialist? What a coincidence that the best person for the job, just happened to be the son of Bob.Same as Deano getting the Assistant Coach role. Coincidence that he is the son of Craig. If this was a Government organisation, all of these family appointments would be investigated by the organisation's integrity units. And there in lies the answer as to why we are continually sliding down the success slide. It won't change until we replace all these nepotistic appointments with specialists.

Why bash Wollongong. It shits all over living in Sydney. I've lived in both, give me the Gong anytime. people are leaving Sydney in droves to live in the Gong
I’m not knocking the gong I’m just saying that he wanted to move back to be close to his parents and maybe the gong was to far away for him , that’s all.

@BLM01 explain yourself
Two massive low blows within hours of each other.
The AFB one is massive as most mail was , as he was , app , over the line..then this ...
Thinking if it came down to Us n Sharks on similar coin , i guess most would go to the Sharks
Good roster , professionally run and realistic hope of making Finals
US ...Been in a rut for years , a dis jointed Board and Captain who publicly declared he wanted OUT..
The last point is the KILLER .If your Captain doesnt want to be here , why would any other intending player ???
Positives
Still plenty of cash to spend
BMM doesnt have to be kept now
Luai still available....Offer him an amount he cant refuse.....
Cowboys Luki and the promising back rower ?? become serious targets with Cows unlikely to keep both
Now maybe the time to open the gates and anyone wanting out have the opportunity to Walk inc our Marquee Player
Give players the opportunity who bleed red n white , and are busting their arses to do this famous Club proud
Hopefully these rejections can galvanise the squad and get them to adopt an us against them mentality
from here the only way is up

Our recruitment team were probably on a long liquid lunch and Chinese food celebrating the signing of ADF ..... Neck minute......
I have zero confidence in our club to get much right at all but even I had believed we had Steven Bradbury’d this one and BAM!

I don’t care that much for Fonua-Blake per se but we just needed a reason for others to even take us seriously again. this is as low as it gets.
