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

                • Chiefy, I pointed out that I don't accept the premise of your scapegoating critique. So you will wait forever because if I don't accept the premise of your scapegoating, that will mean a blog premised on examining one person is a non-starter. 

                  Why won't you address why your scapegoating premise is warranted? Isn't the burden on you to warrant your critique? We are waiting!

                  PS: given you suggested Anderson as GM, can you also address why IF assessing suitability for GM, a GM that oversaw salary cap breaches is better than a GM that has eliminated salary cap breaches?

                  • Please put your case forward on why fans should support the current season of football.  Thats all im asking Prof Daz.  Is this a reasonable suggestion??

              • Ok Prof Daz...if we are scapegoating/misidentifying then WHO IS ACCOUTABLE.

                Why are you deflecting and accepting ?

                honestly are you happy with a 40 year premiership drought and no clear plan forward or action in the recruitment stakes 

                Im happy to be more positive.....but if the continual unicorning/apologising of our great team continues then we will be forever happy with mediocrity....

                Your basic logic and position is deeply deeply flawed

                to be honest Im just after a circuit breaker.....there has been too many missed opportunities and recruitment stuff ups to defend our recruitment team OK not MON individually 

            • Come on Super .....If he is in charge and overseas reruitment but is not involved day to day ...then what is it he does ?  ...you cant be half pregnant .

              why are you all defending straight up incompetence...I have no interest in getting drawn into alternatives but surely hes tenure needs to be reviewed and he held accountable by the board and Eels membership for the continual recruitment inaction and f ups.   

              This is not scapegoating this is about transperancy outcomes and accountability 

              If not Mark then who is head of recuitment and Bin him/her off along with MON for overseaing this shit show

              • Ben Rogers is head of recruitment. It's not hard to find that out.

                • ok Super if its not hard to find that out.....cheap shots are ok from Moderators huh ?

                  then Ben Rodgers, MON and the whole team need a review and make there position tenable or should be sacked

                • Honest question Super: Does Ben report to MON?

                  In normal orgs, Head Ofs report to GMs. MONs job description lists Recruitment as an accountability. Convention and fact leads the obvious conclusion that Ben Rogers reports to MON. Is this incorrect?

                  I feel like this is so easy to clear up if anyone can say definitively what MON is accountable for (not responsible, not day to day, but accountable). It's easier to find info on the inner workings of Scientology or the Illuminati sometimes!

                  This 2021 article said that MON was knees deep in recruitment:
                  https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2021-parramatt...

                  This other article names Jim, MON and Ben all in the room during Gutho discussions:
                  https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/teams/eels/nrl-new...

        • 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?

          • I don't want Anderson i want Richardson.  Been saying ut all along 

            Either you guys put your case forward on mark o'neill or don't comment. 

            These are your opinions 

            • Issues with Richardson were pointed out. Galvin and Luia were lost under his watch or under eye conditions of contracts he made, for instance. 

              If we can critique MON for Brown's get our clauses then Richardson is on the hook for same. What do you make of that?
