At what point will the R&R people realise they have a massive problem?

"What if Ryles brings it up? Arthur surely would have as the failed Smith-Shields signing he was livid.
If Ryles mentions it surely they'll listen if another coach speaks up. Ryles surely has to be livid."

You can always knock on my door with a Pen Chiefy, who would you like my autograph made out too...... Chiefy with Cheese? or a contract with an option.
This is why we are paying shitloads for reserve graders and journeymen.
We must spend 97% of the cap and we only have 3 top level players.
Can't get a root in a broth these RNR monkeys
I'm going to move into "broken record" mode for just a few minutes - indulge me.
Our R&R has underperformed since well before our football side was underperforming with BA. Then came the time for something to be done and BA was the sacrificial lamb. All the surrounding coaching staff went along with him.
And yet our GM of Football was spared.
Since then we have publicly bungled multiple R&R issues and we see teams with their spines currently having our ex-juniours as first pick whilst we incubate the Broncos future Number 7 in our Number 6 jersey for a single season.
The standard you walk by is the standard you accept.
We are currently accepting failure. BA was successful for a short period of time in spite of R&R, not because of it. I am not sure whether Ryles will have the same ability. If we don't arm Ryles with a successful R&R strategist and executor then we are failing him, the team, and the fans.
If not now...then when. The best time to make this change was several years ago, the second best time is today.
I joked before about MON but he has made some alright signings. When he first started he made the right signings. Here is a host of signings that complimented Arthur from 2019-22.
Lane
RCG
Cartwright
Papali'i
Opacic
Matterson (to start with)
Sivo
Moretti
Then look recently
Iongi
Lomax was a signing despite what happened
Addo-Carr
Williams
Walker
He has had some good signings. Issue is getting those players that aren't looking for a chance, he needs to convince big names to join.
Its not the big names we need, its the big game players that we need to get us a step closer. For me i'd recruit Tago to pair with fox, that'd be a lethal dynamic. Then maybe you'd have to look at recruiting ball speed prop like Spencer Lenui, have Sam tuivati start and have spencer next to him you'd create havoc. Than get Moretti, doorey or Hopgood of the bench with the same go forward and paulo to ball play with walker to also create more go forward for moses to isolate players. Tago and Spencer would be perfect for us, people can talk bad about Tago but remember that guy has showed up to big games when it matters he defended his ass of against us in the GF. We need a winger that can eat meters and i'd go for Sabb. Recruitment should be easy but 3 targets for me would be Tago, Spencer and Sabb. We can make it happen, we neeed to really dial up in our recruitment. Three weapons next to Moses and some young guns could really give the comp a shake up.
Tip my hat to you Sir.
Off topic a lil here but
Let's be real here
Our spine should've still been
mahoney (9)
Moses (7)
Brown (6)
RNR fkd up in a lot of different ways.
Mahoney one was Matt Arthur was the future.
That's correct.
The bush coach didn't want anyone blocking boods Arthur.
Also. Jakey would be our 6 if ba wasn't still in the joint and the fans didn't stand up for the club
