Adrian Proszenko: Eels looking at Daniel Anderson

On Continuous call team podcast, Proszenko mentioned we are on the look out for a new head of recruitment and Anderson's name is popping up. Mike Rush has a connection with Anderson, he worked with him while at St. Helens.

Whatever the case it seems Rogers is gone. Added to that is it could be that MON is not hiring Rogers' replacement. Usually the GM hires the HOR. He could still be involved but seems Rush, if he is to be CEO, is pulling the strings. Which is what many have asked for our CEO to do, Rush has connections and it calling on them.

      • I doubt that in itself, Saratinos worked it out and acted on it......guestimate on my part.

        • I tried to avoid commenting on any of your posts due to how much i dispise you, but this is too good to not provide a rebuttal. 

          Look at the actual timeline and actions, not the corporate PR release:

          Firstly the timing. He announced his exit with 5 weeks left in the season with zero replacement lined up. Voluntary CEO exits have multi-month succession plans; sudden gaps mean the board pulled the trigger.

          Secondly, he literally went on radio and said he wants to be an NRL CEO again. He didn't want to leave club administration; he was moved on.

          Lastly,  the Head of Recruitment seems like he is gone and they're hiring externally as well the CEO itself. When a board loves the existing setup, wouldn't they try to promote from within? Or somewhat keep most pieces in place? When they want a complete reset of a failing footy department, they clear the desk.

          Now none of us know what really happened. But the examples you have provided have done nothing to convince those on the other side he was not tapped on the shoulder. For someone who has a go at me for being a mind reader you sure know what happens behind the scenes a lot.

          • That's  a thousand percent correct LB. Any aspiring CEO would be out of his mind to leave a club at its lowest ebb, especially when it seems now Ryles is in a position where he finally has cap space to improve the roster.  It would be extremely foolish for Sarantinos to leave his post now. 

            And his post sacking radio interview was a last gasp push by him, to change the narrative where he said that  if it wasn't for him, the club would have most probably folded lol.    Haha.   

             

            • Well you just put a huge lie on LB's post Chiefy..... you agreeing to anything hardly makes it right.

              • Childish response, spoken like one.....your context is wrong, had to look back to see what i was talking about ....did you see the words "guestimate on my part????

                If you despise me so much, go somewhere else and peddle your hatred .....what a disappointment you have become. 

                The resignation of Parramatta Eels Chief Executive Officer Jim Sarantinos was officially announced on Thursday, August 13, 2026. The club released a statement confirming that he would step down from his role at the conclusion of the 2026 NRL season after a decade of service. 
                 
                Regarding the comment about "wanting to be a CEO again" or "finding your way back to where you wanted to be," yes, it is entirely out of context and a result of a technical mix-up online. ]
                 
                Why it was out of context:
                • The Podcast Overlap: Sarantinos did an interview on the podcast "What I Learned in Business (That Didn't Kill Me!)". On digital platforms and RSS feeds, the description for his episode was accidentally glued together with the description of a completely different guest.]
                • The Actual Quote's Owner: The blended text described a guest with a "40-year career in retail" who sold a business in 2024 and returned to a teenage ambition in music, concluding with a line about "finding your way back to where you wanted to be in the first place.
                • Sarantinos's Real Context: Sarantinos has been the active CEO of the Parramatta Eels since 2020, so he had no reason to state he "wanted to be a CEO again." His actual interview focused on his corporate restructuring background at Ferrier Hodgson and guiding the Eels through governance and salary cap crises starting in 2016. 
                The rumor or report of him making that specific comment on a broadcast simply stemmed from an automated podcast directory error that mashed two separate interviews into one description. 
            • What a disappointment you have become 😅😅😅😅

  • Proszenko is quite well connected to eels no? So must have legs to it.

  • wasn't he part of the "Gang of Five" removed and deregistered in 2016

    • He was but of the 5 he was the least involved from memory he came in after but was guilty by association hence why he has continued in the game 

  • It would be good if they occur - Cameron would be a wonderful signing with Ando who both would have been around the club around the same time. 
    Personally cannot see us landing POS as per his comments in the past but it's footy so who knows.
