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).
Mutts, Everybody knows the Matt Cameron Story, unfortunately we pissed him off before this current regime.
I said this on another post and cannot get a response..... I will try it again on this blog!
Finally I want to say something about Shane Richardson and yes really think about what I am going to say!!!!
He is a wily old guy who could be everything you want him to be to get R&R moving in a direction that would make Parra fans HAPPY.
BUT do you really think he would come to Parra when he finds out the HANDCUFFS that will be placed on him by our board and its Chairman.
What's this you say....well think illegal TPA's, backroom corporate deals, paid intermediaries to set it up.
THINK ABOUT IT Parra as a club is too naive and honest at this point in time. I have been thinking this since I wrote yesterdays blog and realising its that obvious, why cannot we get players across, surely it cannot be the communication skills of MON or the lack of influence from the coach. We have the centre of excellence, the best club ground, a wealthy Leagues Club and a very financial football club..........MMM'm makes you think, I suspect it is an evolutionary process of the strict demands that were placed on us 2014 etc....but those board members are well qualified and I am sure they would all make fine police officers as well, but they not from a world of private commercial enterprises where most of the hard heads have dealt with the "grey world".
Putting this to another level do you think that PVL hasn't dealt with this "grey world" when he revolutionised horse racing within Australia, bumped heads when making rugby league the first sport of the rank when Covid was closing everything....its commercial and it can be grey....take my word on it! .....he is now negotiating the largest TV contracts in Australian Sporting History.
BTW....most of you blokes don't like him.....looks like a gangster! LOL
I'd like you to discuss some of our recent recruitment/retention successes.
Well an example is how they went for Galvin, didn't get him then about a month later went for Talagi and got him. They had a straight up plan B.
Shout it from the mountains once again Coryn about all the untapped potential of finding talent in areas like Fiji and parts of NZ. Just go back to the well of what has sort of worked.
You were the first one to bring it up and it is right, set up a base in a NZ area and just start poaching talent, send over the ones that are truly special.
Never had faith in MON, only have to look at the state he left the Tigers in
Lol that was gone a while back.
