My point is that I don't think a minor inconvenience needs to be linked to everything else. Especially when they were merely sharing a service that the QRL provided.I feel like you’ve missed the point. I’ll say it again, if it was a once off, fine it happens. But this has happened year in and year out.
You also mentioned other clubs didn’t bother and this is true. Some clubs however even had them on Kayo, the same channel that just ran ‘Broncos week’ funnily enough.
Look at Tripp going off his nut for the Storm and going on about the non-compete clauses in Donut’s and Bellyache’s contracts. It’s ridiculous but that is totally not the point, the point is they were smart and got the little details right, whether it would hold up in court or not.
We couldn’t even get a performance clause inserted into an already ridiculous contract. We hand out players on loan and spruik them as being released and then get them back busted. Who else does that?
We hand out player options to guys on a whim and inflate contracts to others simply cos. We let go off rep players and replace them with numpties and somehow still have little salary cap left. We let our elite kids become available when they should already be locked up. Do you see the best clubs doing this and if they do is it regularly the case?
Do you see other clubs failing to stream trials like they say they will years in a row? How can the club on its own website not even have the right details on its squad?? How can it not be updated regularly?
In a year of Covid where good people were let go, how did the IT guy/team remain? How can he/she not do a better job than a high school student could?
The point, to be clear is, it is just another stuff up in a long line of stuff ups. There is clearly no plan to work to. Professional organisations should have a process map to follow and if something doesn’t work, fix the timings of when to do it next year to make sure the same problem doesn’t happen again and again. Yet here we are.
But clearly having to watch a trial via the facebook video player is worth another meltdown so have at it.
