Metcalf Dragons bound.

Bulldogs have pulled out of the race for Metcalf and his asking price is around 1 million dollars. Dragons most likely spot but to get him immediately I wonder if this means they will allow Sua to join us early to free up cap space to get Metcalf immediately. Just seems logical

        • Let me tell you something Super,  without a great jnr system and having the person's in charge to identify and sign the best ones long term, Parramatta will be bottom 4 for the next decade.   

          The club isn't going to buy itself out of this.

          Also, by the way Ryles is talking about those above him, constantly saying things are above his pay grade, tells me that something isn't right between him and what's happening above him.

          I could be wrong but its happened a few times 

          You can talk about why Richardson isn't great,  or Anderson,  but you make a zero case on why O'neill is still at Parramatta 

          Write a blog on why mark o'neill should be retained at Parramatta super, then we can debate it, but you won't .im betting 

          • But isn't the burden on you, Chiefy? You've suggested both Richardson and Anderson as models for what the Eels should be doing, but there were huge problems attached to each which you skirt by. What makes Richardson or Anderson good models of GM, given the well-known issues with both (which, again, you mysteriously don't acknowledge)

            • The burden is on you for sitting on the fence without a case to keep the incumbent 

              • I'm not sitting on the fence, Chiefy. I've asked you R&R Experts to give a solid distinction responsibility and accountability and almost all of you have shirked it in favour of scapegoating. I think it was Captain who stepped up and made the distinction, so kudos there, but most of you are just making crap arguments. 

                The issue with crap arguments is they don't convince most. 

                If changing folks minds about mgmt is the goal, I'm saying make good arguments. 

                I'm not going to put much credit in what you're saying if you can't reasonably try to make good arguments. And I'm suggesting I'm not alone. Most just can't be bothered pushing for good arguments. 

                If you want a change, fair enough. Separate accountability from responsibility and you'll probably find most examples you're using to hold to account actually fail single responsibility conditions. It seems you and many R&R Experts are failing to grasp the import of that point. 

                • Im saying you start a new blog to support O'neill and the current r and r and put your case forward.  If you don't,  you have zero argument against the fans who do not favour him.

                  Now its up to you. We're all waiting 

                  If you don't put anything up, you have no case.

                  • 100% agree Chief.....The MON apologists need to put their case forward for the status quo....at present I can only see us eclipsing the sharks (49 year), Rabbits (43 years) to 50 years no premiership I guess........

                    With many calling the dragons a basket case ....they are at the very least making a go of it .....why have we not had a crack at Burton or Farnsworth or any of the forwards at Penrith ....or locked up our emerging talent .....no we have fucking radio silence and a journey man from the cows ......well Ill hold off until November 30

                    enough is enough and this "above my pay grade shhhtick" come on Ryles ....

                    • They won't because they have nothing to put forward apart from some obscure vested interest to keep the current regime there as long as possible.  

            • isnt anderson a talent scout not a gm daz?

              • He is head of recruitment i believe Mongolian / Pathways. Ando has a great knowledge of the game and wish we had someone like that.

                You see with the chairs moving down at Mulgoa Rd (Penrith) I would be sounding out Matt Cameron now....he could be in the background at Parra leading / sorting things as head CEO and with Cleary going he could also be convinced to leave for the right role and $$$

        • Ooh, can I help? So, Chiefy wants Daniel Anderson back as GM so the Eels can go spoon, 10th, 12th? Oh yeah, also so that the Eels can breach the salary cap, get fined half a million, and get docked competition points. 

          Please, Chiefy, we would all really love to hear why THAT is the kind of management you want at the club?
