Anyone else lose faith

I'm not talking about eels I'm talking about our stupid recruitiment and retention team.Like how can a group be so fcken stupid,surely we can petition to get em out of the club cause they fcken suck.Like you look at all the other clubs signing guns for good money then there's our stupid club who are "playing strategically "ITS NOT WORKING OUT FCK THE PLAYING STRATEGICALLY and go all out fmd.

Anytime I see eels connected to a player I instantly lose hope cause there's 0 chance of us even getting him even a reserve grade player we can chuck a mil at and they still won't come.Fck anyone here can do a better job then those idiots.

        • Matt Cameron has a great approach to retention and recruitment. They PLAN for attrition and have continual succession in place for all key positions. They are never ever sitting still and are never caught short because they plan for all outcomes.

          We had Talagi as our backup to Dylan Brown. We allowed both to be lost. We lost Zac Lomax and replaced him with a frantic purchase of Brian Kelly. Addo Car was not a plan, he was a lucky break. 

          We have a stop gap half with Pezet who is playing out of position. We haven't been able to offload Matto. We have Jr Paulo playing well past his used by date. We bought JDB to play him for a few weeks and then punt him.

          We are not on the same path as the Panthers. We don't have the same method, we aren't learning from their success. We definitely don't have the "next man up" mentality that Cameron talks about.

          Matt Cameron can be stoked for his attrition because he's planned for it. We don't. I genuinely don't like being down on us, but I also don't want to be delusional, I want us to be successful and that's going to require continued evolution.

          I said this at the time and it's still absolutely true - BA going was Step 1 of the changes that need to happen, it appears we never continued with the rest of the steps. Matt Cameron forced those hard changes at Penrith. We need someone with the conviction to do them here.

          • Matt Cameron should be at Parra. I've been saying it for years.

            • Totally. I really do get annoyed by folks thinking that we're on the same road Penrith were and that if we just stick to it we'll end up where they are.

              Matt Cameron at Penrith has made tough decision after tough decision. He never settled for what was. He chased excellence and if things weren't working he changed them - fast and decisively, and always had plan A, B and C ready to roll. But these weren't changes for changes sake, they were calculated. He has held strong to core principles and wasn't afraid to pivot on a plan whilst still holding true to the core principles that have kept them successful.

              We did an amazing thing rebuilding our club structure, and our current administration have done wonders for our club finances and governance. We are in an amazing place as a business. This was done through prudence and solid safe foundations - the best way to build a strong organisation.

              Our football team need a different approach. We need folks who aren't afraid to innovate, take risks and try to get ahead of the game whilst holding firm to key principles. We won't be successful if we don't roll the dice (on the football side).

  • Never had faith in MON, only have to look at the state he left the Tigers in

  • Lol that was gone a while back.

  • Is it possible that we can't recruit a decent GM of Football in the same manner that we can't recruit any decent players?!?! 

  • I have lost faith in the game as a whole. It has been turned into something that I cannot actually enjoy watching, like rugby 7's

  • Manly are apparently set to go hard for Frank Ponissi. Imagine if they got him, dear lord don't worry about WWIII blowing up the world, Parra fans will do it instead hahaha.
