SMH states that the Canterbury Bulldogs have poached the Veteran Wests Tigers recruiter Warren McDonnell!
Sounds good to me.... the Tigers have unearthed some remarkable talent over the past 10 years IMO however, I guess we will have the retractors as usual looking at the negative side of things.

I think it will be a good thing. No matter what people say here, Farah Marshall prince a few good wingers and full backs in the last 10 years.
Welcomed news as the pre season starts.

I'm with you on this,

First positive thing to come from our club in a while,

If he works out, we could see the results of his work in about 5 years,

Now all us fans need is somthing positive from the club to give us some faint hope for the imediate future,

This guy is trash. Been at the tigers for about 15 years and tried to dump Teddy so he could get his son in the side lol

Who ?
Tedesco is the only junior that looks like fulfilling his potential.
I did not mention juniors, you did! I was referring to talent in general!! as far as Tedesco goes I do believe he has already fulfilled his potential and getting better all the time. Wish we had him!!

He is rubbish. Ask any tiger fan about him and see what they have to say. Couldn't be worse than Cleal though..

Tigpies have had some good kids.

Addo-Carr, Tedesco, Nofaluma, Simona etc. All would walk into our squad.

Apparently this guy leaves his farm and actually goes to watch some junior games which means he's already an upgrade on Cleal

Tedesco is the only junior that looks like fulfilling his potential.
In my opinion, this is the one reason to think that this guy might have a good eye for spotting potential talent. If Teddy is the only local junior to fulfill his talent, it means that all the other talent like - Moses, Brooks, Woods, Simona etc must have been all recruited and brought to the club by this guy - that is of course if your statement of Teddy being the only Junior to fulfill his talent is correct of course. (Although if Moses is Benny Elias nephew, I thought he would be a local junior ... just saying...)

They would fit in, as all Dogs players all seem to walk into the side.

LOL ... Tigers fans were happy to get rid of him.

Clearly we've scraped the bottom of the barrel here in an attempt to desperately start the season with a Recruitment Manager.

Much like Hoppa... the board and CEO bent over backwards to accommodate his No SUNDAY clause.
I dont know shit about this bloke but the Tigers have had some decent players coming through recently (Simona, Korobete, Moses, Brooks, the young kiwi hooker), so hopefully something to look forward to. Tigers retention seems to be the problem

I think he is better than cleal
Let's be honest tigers are calling for the heads of everyone if you look at their forum
They even want brooks gone lol

They keep missing the finals and the club is in shit shape financially

Look at it objectively
Recruitment manager job is to bring players in
Not manage the cap etc and sack players

They have been able to bag some great signings in the last two decades with him there

Keeping players has been an issue but if your on shakey ground financially and coaches coming and going etc it would be hard to keep anyone

Farah
Benji
Tedesco-albeit a local junior
Brooks
Moses
Fifita
Signed Blair/ not his fault he did shit he was going great at Melbourne
Signed tapau
Signed Kevin naqaima
Tuquri
Addo car


Signed some Great players and barely any duds there

I think we have upgraded without going to the penthouse of say mullholand
