RECRUITMENT

Seems like every week there are good quality players coming onto the market or that are available that would add something to our team and roster but we aren't seeming to be as active in the player market as we were earlier this year. EG Keon. Barnett

 

Has anyone heard anything or have any news on any potential signings for 2027 /2028 we may look at? I still believe there is the basis of a very good football side at the Eels but we defintely need 1 or 2 additions of quality players at the absolute least

    The 26-year-old explained he had previously been close to leaving the Panthers earlier in his career, only for the club to convince him to stay.

    "I was about to sign with Parra mid-year, and they were like 'nah, stay, we got something lined up for you to be happy with your brothers'."

     
    • What's your point here? As Terrell states, he didn't sign because Penrith were sorting contracts for his brothers. Which ended up not eventuating and then the Penrith CEO torpedoed him returning to the club.

      • that we can attract talent and it sounds like barring some unknown factors, he would have been playing at parra.

  • Feels like we have been saying this for 4-5 years that we're short in outsides back 

  • With all the talk of recruitment, Chiefy asserted the board should sack the recruitment and retention staff for failing to meet recruitment criteria. Which raises an interesting question: can anyone answer the following?

    1) What is the recruitment criteria?

    2) If the answer to Q.1 is unknown, what should be the recruitment criteria?

    • I don't know what the current criteria of success is, but it doesn't have to be rocket science. For instance:

      Creating and maintaining a squad that:

      1. Regularly play finals football (heck be super lenient and say >50% of the time on average)
      2. Is Top 4 during planned peak years (understanding all squads go through cycles as they refresh key positions)

      These KPIs should be judged on a 6 year rolling window so you can't just rest on your laurels of the past. It's a performance based business, so base the metrics of success on performance.

      Are there extenuating circumstances? Sure. Welcome to life. Overcome them or find another job that's not in a performance based industry.
