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

Mitchy, thanks for making my point for me! Of course Anderson was part of a system that wasn't working. He was definitely accountable even if not solely responsible.
But that has been my point about scapegoating. Hence why I was surprised Chiefy offered Anderson as a model for a next GM. I was alluding to the absurdity of where scapegoating can lead: a little unhinged 'isolation' of one (MON in this case) breeds an idea of a single change will fix everything. Once the premise of that pseudo fix is accepted - it's all this one bad actor - saviors get offered up who are actually not assessed credibly. I mean just look at the Libs and One Nation attempt to link the housing affordability crisis to immigrants. Scapegoating non-whites won't addressing housing costs. Making speculating on housing the savior just free it from scrutiny. Scapegoating is always bad policy
But this has been my point. We won't get productive change out of scapegoating. We will only get knee jerk savior complex decisions.
Daz, I agree about the premise of your comment and will not comment on the political side for good reason; but suffice to say champ each to their own. I could debate with you all day.
Ando for recruitment would be fine for me as he has been in the system and knows his stuff and he is ex parra which is good; the salary cap drama was years back and in all honesty I would 'assyme' the current board would be hesitant to bring him back.
I have been harping on for a while now, the club should have looked at M Cameron (again ex Parra) to oversee things. He has grown in lengths from being a jr coach.
Mitchy, I thought Anderson was being presented as a GM Fotball, not a talent scout?
PS You cannot say that Matt Cameron should have been looked at....that is an Oxymoron and comparable to the we should have recruited the Cleary's before they left Wests to go Panthers!...... Cameron grown lengths has to be up there as one of the all time great hindsight comments of the modern era!
Sorry Pop's but mabe read what I said....and I appreciate it.
Just imagine if BA had a M Cameron to work with all those years back.....
Mitchy, as long as you agree with the premise of my comment, then I doubt we disagree fundamentally about either the role, responsibility and accountability of a GM (whomever they might be), or about immigration and housing, which is voldamort on the site!
Reject scapegoating if we want serious change, this is the way
Daz, I like that comment. It deserves a beer, my shout champ.
Cool, Mitchy. Hazy something or other, cloudier the better
Well Anderson is Head of recruitment. MON is GM. Two different roles.
So shouldn't you be asking who do we prefer out of Anderson and Rogers?
Peter O'Sullivan for me I'm looking at the talent he's managed in conjunction with others to get to Newcastle and the Dolphins at his most recent stops would just about do it for me.
I mean St George tried to get him before he took the Newcastle job.
Totally agree, hes the 1 we should target
