We've got heaps up our sleeve.
Brandon Smith won't come cheap.
Also because we have the smell of desperation about us managers will demand overs.
By “heaps” I gather you’re referring to Graeme Hughes???
The $3m war chest by 2021 was a smoke & mirrors thrown out to appease disillusioned Dogs supporters & buy this administration some time. Well it’s time to deliver. The problem being this admin should have had a 3 year plan, with not just player recruitment/ targets but a succession plan post Pay as he was never the long term saviour.
Disappointingly when you fail to plan, you plan to fail & make decisions on the run.
Case in point:
Mass sackings of the incumbent coaching staff with 7 rounds remaining, we won’t win another game nor will players or staff give their best for the remainder of this nightmare 2020 season.
Missing out on the signature of Holbrook 12 months ago instead choosing to extend the Pay agony by 12months:- simply dumb & poor management decision making.
Massive”overs” offers rejected by the managements of Papalii & TPJ.
As yet, no improvement to our most glaring spine weaknesses with a dwindling “war chest”
Hopefully someone within the administration had nous to sign McInnes NOW that Hunt will be the Dragons rake.
The atrocious handling of the Pt Macquarie incident by the absence of commentary by the GM of Football & our CEO backing the wrong horse by supporting the NRLs decision to deregister the contracts of “the 2” by cancelling their contracts. As we know both players were vindicated by the NRL Appeals Tribunal. The Club’s best player chose not to be reinstated but play for a premiership contender.
At the moment, we have so many plodders on rockstar contracts DWZ,Napa, Jackson & now Thompson, throw in R Smith eating up the best part of $3.5m!!!!!
I trust Barrett recruits his coaching/conditioning personnel shrewdly as he really has a monumental situation to fix.
But alas,
success BEGINS at the front office..........
