Let the off season review begin

[tommy]

Prestige worldwide. Of the boats n hoes fame.

Why not just name them unless it's our leagues club. What a fuckin joke.

 

[Sproj]

So when do the players come back? I assume then Walsh is going to free agency.

 

[Super Freak]

I hope the external agency is the Melbourne Storm

Well in 2020 it was the Swimming Australia CEO, because that's who you call in to review a Rugby League club...

Now that we know Kev is one of the people leading the review, identifying the issue should look something like this:

Or this..

Or this ..

well, if you believe Badel Walsh is the problem.

he wrote an article about how much of an issue Walsh is, how he does whatever he wants because the staff are too afraid of offending him.

he says Walsh is “moody” and “highly strung”

he says Walsh calls the shots not the club hierarchy

p.s later in the same article he says we should be head hunting Cam Smith for Ikin's old job

You could have just stopped here.

Makes sense, who better to call when your club is drowning.

 

[Bucking Beads]

If this review doesn't get us a new recruitment and retention manager it has failed IMO. We're paying Cobbo $650k a year ffs. Ridiculous figures. That is more than Brian To'o.
Then we get to Staggs who is on $700k which is way too much also.

To shore up the club, get everyone buoyant, synchronised & ready to make a splash? It’s dolphinately a stroke of genius !

Wait ! What the only NRL player I have ever heard of warming up shirtless ? No surely not !
Should have kept Tesi . LOL .

To O should be on a million .
Maybe the best winger ever in the modern game ?

 

[Mr Fourex]

Big call......

 

[Johnny92]

To'o is massively underpaid, does the work of a elite front rower and a elite winger.

 

[_wwong]

Has to’o ever had a sook about wanting to play fullback or centres? Just seems to go about his business on the wing.

Thats what makes him such a great winger. Has no interest of wanting to do anything else and is more than content with being the best winger in the world.

There was reports that he was whinging about his pay cheque though.

To the point of even possibly asking for a release ... Penrith obviously resolved it before it got to that stage

I think it was more to do about how all his friends were leaving the club and the media were trying to make him out like he wasn't happy about it.

The going rate for Centres this is probably slightly below market rate, Also To'o is being paid a sum that wouldn't be possible anywhere else and that should be factored in.

Cobbo up till Origin 1 this year was pretty much Elite I would say but the contract doesn't go down when the form does so of course it can look bad now.

Staggs on 700k is perfectly fine, Lomax for example will be on 100k more next year at Centre a position he hasn't shined ln for years.
