So we've got a situation here with two of our most learned contributors (both possibly moderators) challenging each other as to what they would do over potential signings. Both saying they wouldn't pay KK the sum offered by St George. Are people starting to grasp the difficulty faced by Mark O"Neill on a day to day basis and that maybe, just maybe he isn't doing as bad a job as some on here make out?
nope
I like it Randy, a concise response:) No need to write a 15 paragraph essay for something that can be said in one word.
Randy just has a problem pronouncing "d's".....we all know he meant "dope".
mope
sorry buddy! don't mope, we love you as a dope!
Haha… well played, Randy.
No doubting it would be very challenging. Ultra competitive, many variables.
But HOE & I (I’m definitely not a moderator) are just fans like all of us, whereas Ben Rogers - I’m less concerned with MoN than others - is paid a very good wage to recruit & retain a premiership competitive roster. He has endless resources, contacts, opportunities, access to agents, players etc - he works within this world on a day to basis, unlike any of us.
Rogers as Head of Recruitment, imo, should be taking responsibility for a roster that shouldn’t be acceptable for upper management at the Eels, and it’s not limited to this season.
He’s had his chance. It’s time for change, and I’m not sure how much evidence, wasted seasons or hamstrung coaches the Eels need to make it.
Club decisions are for the club to make.
I'm staying out of Church of Sackings. It has enough members.
As long as we stay in our opinion lane and don't lose our marbles or humanity, it's all good.
But one thing I do respect is the club backing its people and believing in them. It would be a lot easier to sack a few for optics, or do ridiculous overs for a shiny new recruit, and give fans hope.
It's a race against time, but personally , I hope the club and Ryles era proves all the doomsayers – the ones who call for their heads and call out players and club employees the worst of the worst – wrong.
HOE, that's exaggerating & inflating truths, much like with $$ figures, to suit a narrative.
It's much easier to devalue all opinions if we class them all in 'poo throwing' at the club, mass sackings, over dramatic & emotional reactions, as opposed to genuine ambition for evolving a system that is not working.
You've replied to me with this, and I've never said anything about mass sackings, quite the opposite.
I'm all for belief in personnel, and I'm all for change when that belief has outlived results.
The hypocrisy is quite extraordinary, what's cherry picking & scapegoating, doomsayers & 'poo throwing' attacks from one side, is completely fine from another dependant on where it’s aimed, and I'm clearly not the first one to have noticed.
I won't comment on this again, because it's a negativity & pessimism that's not in my nature & at the end of the day, what the Eels do or don't do, doesn’t impact me greatly.
We all want success for the club we love, let's just agree to disagree on pretty much every fundamental avenue on how to get there.
I genuinely hope to be wrong about all of it, because that would mean success is much nearer.
'Poo throwing' is bland and ordinary. I believe I used to call it "poo bombing".
The Church of Sackings is a new generic term. I gather you feel that is very insulting to you personally. It's more a generic description of commonplace social media commentary — rather than a personal insult at you or anyone in particular.
I mean it's a bit rich and misleading to claim there isn't a lot of that on here and social media. It's an observation.
Also, people who don't attack the club are called delusional, fairies and apologists, lol. Again just an observation.
You are open to the possibility we may have offered Kaeon 2 years (contrary to media reports); hoping it's not true. But not open to the possibility Kaeon may be on a higher contact that has been claimed by the media. So who has the narrative and bias? It may be $1m sure. I used to think it was too. But I do believe my source and Anasta.
What do you hope to be wrong about exactly?
That Kaeon hasn't run more metres than our entire forward pack? The club needs to lift its R&R game? We probably do need to pay overs and acquire some quality recruits (never said otherwise). But we also need to get the right marquee. Kaeon isn't it at his price Imo. You disagree, I think (?). Dunno. Good.
P.S. Kaeon ran less than 90m (Fox Reports) playing 80 on the edge on the weekend. Hardly setting the world on fire for a $1m tag (according to you/ media, $1.2m according to Anasta/my sources).
P.S.S. It's a bit rich and ironic you accuse me of insults and hypocrisy. I don't mind you stating your view of me personally. That's out of my control. And that's your prerogative. All good. I am just stating the irony.
