Fans should not be too concerned, while he would of been great to have Ando is not far behind him when it comes to talent spotting. When you look at all the youngsters the chooks had in their team Ando has his fingerprints all over them .

Actually that is a good way of looking at it Fongy, if we see Ando as the architect for the Roosters squad and POS as the architect for the Knights squad, they're both pretty amazing in terms of recruitment and retention/youth.
Good viewpoint, that's made me feel much less doom and gloom about losing POS.

Dolphins and Warriors also that's his last 3 stops and all those sides are in the top 4 this year.

At the end of the day O'Sullivan has been in recruitment longer than Ando but keep on mind that Ando was a pretty successful coach . They both helped the roosters win a premiership with the kids they brought to the club , Ando has a lot of contacts in NZ which is why he brought so many NZ kids to the chooks .
If we can have Rush and Ando at the club then we will be on our way , having a CEO who has has success as both a coach and CEO is huge advantage and having a head of recruitment who was a success as coach is also a huge advantage. My balls are starting to bounce .

Agreed, I was upset when Ando got punted. He's a smart operator.
Thing i like about Anderson is firstly he is not afraid to speak his mind. Secondly he is a wonderful communicator, which makes him a great HOR. Finally, as i mentioned before, he is a branch off the Brian Smith coaching tree and if anything was probably the best one off that tree. He coached both NZ and Parramatta to GF's. Has a relationship with Rush already from time at St. Helens. So he has a footy mind, has been a coach with some success and managed to sign up to 4 starting players at Saints without a coach? I think that would be an excellent upgrade to Rogers.
THe single positive of Anderson (if we get him and a big IF!) is that he knows how their academy's (especially Easts) work and we could be in a position of poaching their "cherry picked" juniors.....probably stolen from us at some point.
He would be an interesting test for our conservative board, given he was very much involved in the salary cap rorts, deniable of course. It would most certainly be a triumphrant return who should be IMO a premiership winning coach, the Storm not only stole it from the club and players, but the coach and his staff as well !!!
Nice to see that fixed one day, I would like to see Jarryd wearing a "ring" not to mention the rest of the team.
"Plus Preszenko spoke to Rush last night. Rush said to him all the right things but also i loved how he didn't do the typical "rebuild" or "we need time" wording. He said it shouldn't take long. He likes Ryles, enough to nearly hire him at St. Helens…"

"These will be Rush's first signings. I think Sam and Williams will get done. Sam's management we're holding off and I heard they didn't see eye to eye with Jim.
It will be good to see Rush's name associated with a few good re signings "
"What's important is although we missed O'Sullivan, Beach understands Parramatta cannot stand still and is making good moves. The signing of Rush was a very good move with Rush's experience and ability to get the job done, he seems like a game…"

Seems the backroom footy IQ jumped significantly.
