Seems like a pretty easy to flaunt loophole. Sign Wayne Bennett on 3m a year as some made up management role. “Football Success consultant” or something

I think that does happen, someone like Gus is management which isn’t included but Operations is included.

What if we signed Wayne for 4 million and then Reece walsh mows his lawns for a 1 million dollar gift from Wayne.

3rd party deals must be at arms length from the club, or anyone affiliated with the club (like a club sponsor... or Wayne).

Walsh could, however, mow the lawns of Wayne's new partner. In his pink speedos. Which could also be considered mowing Wayne's lawn I guess.

Don't know if it was possible but considering our budget we definitely should have alteast made a play for him, he has shown to understand the building blocks of the youth structure beyond anyone else in this game.

and given what he would have to work with it would be like Penrith on steroids(like their players).

ba dum tiss.

I agree but imagine the taste it would leave in QLDers mouths when Reynolds, Madge, Barrett and Gus lead the charge to the second bronco dynasty
 
A really good article in the Tele this morning in relation to Madge's mindset and vision for how he's going to go about implememting changes at the club. Main points below:

- plans to create a framework for a Penrith-style dynasty.
- could not believe the amount/size of facilities/resources available.
- are in a premiership window right now.
- has been calling each player for the past 3 weeks asking what they are personally willing to sacrifice for success.
- has called every staff member to get to know them/ask about families.
- pre-season commences on Nov 1, players like Hass will be setting the example and leading the charge.
- all starts from the very first day, slackers will not be tolerated.
- high standards expected in all aspects, on and off the field.
- club will be built on Standards. Discipline, Consistency and Professionalism.
- has no concerns about Reece Walsh, he has the work ethic to live up to his potential but it is about turning up consistently over periods of time.
- looking at the Penrith way of doing things, hard work, connections, every single player buying into the vision and culture of the club.

Lots more but these are some of the main points.

If he goes the Wayne Bennett grand father figure route, It could be a real opportunity for him to win over the playing group.

Stop, I'm hard. Was always against a Madge hiring, but looks like I might just be wrong as hell.
 
Hasn't really been any new info since Dave spoke last, except for the injuries so wouldn't expect much today.
