Can somebody please post where Castle said she doesn't give a shit if the club wins games or not?
She has what she believes are the right people in place to ensure we do win games while she then focuses on areas she can actually contribute to. Is that not the role of a CEO? I'm starting to wonder what kind of experience or perceptions you guys have of the corporate world.
The Club booms off the field = more money gets spent on the field in TPA's, training equipment etc. -> leads to success on the field which then -> leads to the club booming further off the field.
These things dont exist in vacuums.
Here is part of the recent article:
"I've just got some unfinished business at the Bulldogs, so ask me in a couple of years' time and I might have a different answer," she said.
That's not to winning a premiership, apparently, and Doyle reckons that's not his measure of success at the Warriors either. Funny, you'd think that was the sole purpose of every rugby league club.
"For us it's really about developing a meaningful community programme. The club have such a big voice that it can genuinely change people's lives," Castle said.
Literacy, numeracy, nutrition, all sorts. Rugby league folk are out there aiding schools and pushing positive message to a wide range of groups.
I also don't agree with your last sentence. No matter how much a club like Wests Tigers or St George "boom off the field" they will never have the level of TPA's a club like the Roosters or Broncos have (they have them due to their on field success).
In our case we have unlimited funds provided to us by the leagues club (the football club makes massive losses despite how much Castle has increased memberships and sponsors). We have every piece of state of the art equipment Des could want.
