You think he's not going to put a point across that the guy he endorses is well capable ?
what's he going to say " the guy I pay to coach is a shitcunt nuffie " ?
It's actually a very vanilla statement when trying to indicate you're praising your coach. No mentons of " great " or " fantastic " coach. Just a " Brad gets a player from A to B ". Yeah so does a fucking Toyota Camry .
The question really is who replaces O'Neill? Is anybody currently in line to automatically take over or do they have to start looking and hiring someone?

Fuck no! Please ask whatever deity you pray to for Parra to have some balls and get rid of that bloke. What qualifications does he have besides being an ex player and a shit coach.
We need to move on from the old boys mentality and just hire the best people.

Not really because the role is fairly undeveloped in the industry. Football department GM's are a relatively new thing in the NRL. There aren't a huge pool of young candidates to choose from. Unless the club goes and gets an established name like Frank Ponissi, I don't expect O'Neill's replacement to be particularly well known. The club might even appoint an interim GM like Nathan Brown to get us through the off season before looking for a long term replacement.
"I do remember the nrl investigating Brisbane for any contact with Ben hunt before his contract was up but they couldn't prove it. If any emails or paper trail shows Zach was in contact with the storm while under contract at Parra, could be a big…"
"It won't. The court will interpret the contract.... But we can drive that narrative out of court if we want and demand investigation, while selectively leaking comms. Fuck these guys. We need to make them think twice about fucking with us for a…"
"It'll be about the amount of compensation.
A smart play by Parra. You can read it in the club statement - they are putting the focus on the compensation to our football department (ie the transfer fee).
If we talk about fair value transfer fee for…"
"I wonder with it going to court how much will come out about storm actions and Zach contact with other clubs while he was under contract ? Seems like Parra has done everything legally correct but Lomax and Storm might be sweating a little and nrl…"

Yeah aged liked fine wine, my word i was off on that.
Please note that the Mushroom and me do not drink fine wine.....I'm quiet partial to Yellowtail at $7 a bottle.
Stay with the Cheap retorts LB, it works (apparently) for Chiefy and Jimmy.
