Apart from wandering around the club, does anyone know what this guy actually does? Recruiting apparently.
What's his claim to fame??

I know this doesn't really help with your question but he was a total prick to me when i went up to Brisbane to see the Sharks V Broncos match. There was a meet and greet at Arana Hill and when we were just about to meet the players he told me i couldn't get my jersey signed, but posters could. Whats the difference between a jersey and poster? Furthermore i came from Sydney to Brisbane! Theo Burgess you're a c**k!

I'd say that's the case because of fake "fans" selling merchandise on EBAY, so I guess official merchandise jerseys are only to be signed.
Really it's down to a case of not what you say, but how you say it.

I did complain to club and i got a letter from Steve Rogers saying that i could get my jersey signed if i took it to the club.

If i hadn't have gone all the way up to Brisbane from Sydney i probably wouldn't care but for me just getting a letter saying that he was wrong and that i can get my jersey signed is enough for me Sideline Eye

Is he paid or is he a bit of an 'Artie Beetson' or a 'Tommy R' who just drop a line to the likes of Sticky or Benny when they see something special at a carnival?

Probably one of the only people in the club at the moment who is doing a pretty decent job. Looks like we are on track for our third consecutive Flegg final, so he must be finding some pretty good kids. Douglas, Selmes, Nielson and all the out of towners would have been recruited by Theo. I think he is doing a pretty good job with limited resources. When I saw the title of the thread i was worried we'd lost him.

Awesome talent scout. And a top bloke too. He is taking care of the jumior development now.

So that's why all the juniors are leaving/have left?... :roll:

Artie is one of the only full-time professional scouts for the Roosters. The Warriors have one too. I think Theo Burgess is the only other.

Most of the other Clubs rely on carnivals and that sort of thing.
