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

                    • How can our complaint lack specificity...Its quite clear the Recuitment department headed by MON.

                      why is it different when it comes to the coach I dont understand ?

                      and how is it scatter gun.   The opposing view has been very clear in the issues.

                      Poor Identification and keeping of in house talent

                      Inactivity in the market to make offers to identified high end talent (Numerous)

                      poorly structured contracts which allowed clauses for talent negotiate elsewhere and leave (D Brown)

                      I cant see 2027 being much better then this year (maybe if injuries are better)

                      However its not Nov 30 yet .....the real acid test will be then...if we are not very active then why bother

                      we should become the western sydney Panthers and call it a day.....

                      or become like old Bears supports watch NSW cup

                       

                       

                • 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 

              • So let's tread water 'till someone fucks up so badly that it no longer qualifies as scapegoating to move them on.

            • 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?
