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.
"For context, last year we didn't drop Dylan Brown until it was mathematically impossible to make the eight. That was round 20 and he signed with the Knights before round 2."
"I don't fully disagree. Getting 10 wins is not far from finals. Last few seasons 12/13 wins got you 8th. So really we should be able to add up to 5 wins this year IMO.
But if we don't and we stay at 10/11, but there are excuses, I'd accept it. As I…"
"When do we consider that wonderful chant from last year. The future is now! Considing Russell is on the move at the end of this year.
Do we call it first few games, half way through the year, with 5 games to go. Do results or position on the ladder…"
"Mate I get it but it was a frustrating time watching him play and knowing he was on huge $$$; he either aims up and becomes 'elite' or he filters off like a few have over time."

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.
