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

          • 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?

              • Daz, quick question...if we leave MON plodding along (I mean, no-one would say that he is crushing it, right?) when would be the appropriaye time to shuffle him along? 10yrs? 15? but won't it just be more scapegoating then? Or must we wait for an egregious "fuck-up for the ages" before moving him on?

                The time feels up for him so folks are gonna come at him, unfairly or not.

                Shake it up a bit. Punt him now. It's for the best. What's the worst that can happen, he doesn't seem to do a lot. Retaining MON feels political. I would bet that he is a happy loyal lapdog....Goodboy Mark.....who's a goodboy

                • Fair questions, Randy. If it's not obvious, my consistent point has been that arguments to remove MON that rest solely on selected retention and recruitment decisions are faulty. They rely on distributed responsibility being reduced to sole responsibility and conflating that with accountability. That is a recipe for scapegoating and a poor argument. 

                  Poor arguments won't breed good decisions. 

                  • Not a fair question from Randolph....call him Rudolph for this discussion.

                    He fcuks up when he says "he doesn't seem to do a lot"  its that type of argument that disqualifies himself.

                    • Poppa, apparently NO salary cap breaches and NO docking of competition points is nothing. 

                      This is what the logic of scapegoating does, it breeds myopia and misdiagnosis. 

                    • Jesus if that is the baseline for top level recruitment department ability we really are in trouble 

                    • IKR Greg

                    • Parra G, I assume you believe MON is head of recruitment? I hate to break it to you but that's not true. Hence asking your GM to not breach the salary cap is NOT the same as asking your head of recruitment not to breach the salary cap. 

                      As I have been saying, scapegoating one person breeds literally ill-informed misunderstandings about who does what. 

                      Please tell us if you're prepared to admit your mistake. Learning from errors is something I believe you R&R Experts are saying "Eels Mgmt" is not doing and that's bad. One standard for them another for the R&R Experts?

                  • I know it's a fair question.... but you didn't answer the question did you  Daz. I didn't ask you to define and allude to scapegoating yet again...But that's what I got for my trouble.

                    I''ll expect no further comments telling me the correct way to argue. That would look silly now wouldn't it.
