        • Bourbon, I think you’re completely missing the point.

           Sarantinos sits above the entire football operation, from the Flegg coach right through to the General Manager of Football. O’Neill reports directly to him — that’s the structure, full stop.

           Now, I’m not saying Sarantinos personally makes every football decision. That’s not how a CEO operates. But if the people underneath him aren’t delivering, it’s his responsibility to address it. If O’Neill isn’t meeting his KPIs, Sarantinos has the authority to make changes. That’s literally part of his job.

           So whether Sarantinos makes every decision himself is irrelevant. He is ultimately accountable for the people and football operation under him. The buck stops with the CEO.

           Is that really so difficult to understand?

           

          I’ve made my point. The ball’s in your court now.

          • You have made the point, but you don't understand it Chiefy. 

            You can blame Saratinos but to disrespect and belittle him, you do nothing of understanding what statesmanship is actually about.

            Move on, you are out of your depth when talking to or about people like him, who subjectively is probably about 100 times more conversant in being a CEO and what his responsibities are. 

            Your problem seems to be by telling every one he is what you state, some sort of answer to your problem.

            • Pops, why don't you do something useful and offer your driving services to the fox. Instead,  you masquerade around here trying to be relevant. 

              • You are right of course Chiefy, especially the part of being relevant.

                The only difference is I can comfortably accept, i.e. no actual influence on anything from a social media site, just a way of getting things off my chest and contributing meaningless ideas.

                BUT in your case you actually think you are relevant and that should be a grave warning to you with Fantasy Land around the corner waiting......you have got a few mates on here just the same.

                PS Driving services for Fox, yes if I was Sydney based I could make time to do that, I once tried Wiz to do that with Chris Sandow.

                • You'd have to get an exemption on that restraining order the indigenous community took out on you first. We know what happened last time you tried this service

          • And how do you know that the people underneath him have not met their agreed KPIs?

            You conflate our onfield results, particularly in First Grade, as being the only metric on which the CEO must be judged. To that end, and to follow your logic, he should have sacked Jason Ryles based on his failure to coach the team successfully - yet you never said that because you like Ryles and don't like Sarantinos.

            The point I'm trying to make - and you're not Robinson Crusoe in this regard - is that based on not winning a comp for the last 40 years, you take out your frustration on a nominated punching bag and carry on as though you know something more than you could ever know outside the four walls of the club.

            Psychologists frame the concept behind this behaviour as 'egocentrism' or an underdeveloped 'Theory of Mind' where during early childhood (specifically Jean Piaget's preoperational stage, ages 2 to 7), children naturally struggle to understand that other people have different thoughts, perspectives, or separate pieces of information than they do. They assume their own point of view is universal.

            This is what you do Chiefy.

  • If I'm honest I do like what Leniu brings that aggressiveness and the fake tough guy outlook but I think we missed a trick when we lost out to the Dragons with Kolomatangi I think he's the guy a prototypical modern day middle with a big motor the right temperament and eats up yards.He's a guy you can build a foward pack around and he steps right into Junior Paulo's starting spot tomorrow.

    Leniu to me hasn't proven he can carry a foward pack and be that guy.IMO he's Robin,what Parra needs is Batman.

  • Heard it was a 1 year deal 

    • You've said this about 5 times all over the place and you're fucking wrong. It's 3-4 years, sucked in Malle boy. 

      • How about we make it 6 times just for the fun of it! I heard it's only a 1 year deal! 🤨
