Recruitment And Retention Discussion

[Macca89]

Ever since Ikin moved on it went to ****. Say what you will about Kent but him and Ikin worked in the early days. I think it started going down hill when they brought in the news corp journos onto permanent gigs where they used to just bring them in for an update. Seems to have gone to all their heads that they are more important than what they are.

Sampson was alright on there but Braith is an idiot. Also has just become an argument non stop as though they think that’s what the punters want to see

Best not coming

My mate is a close relative to the Black Money agent that manages Bradman Best. He told me that Best and his manager are using the Eels to get more money out of the Knights and that he has no interest in moving elsewhere. Especially with his brother Baxter joining the club next year and his...

He is not coming here, Bostock is a bigger chance.

I've also been told one of Izack Tago or Blaize Talagi will be at the club next year“

I wonder what would happen if POS holds his ground? Either way I’ll be surprised if Bradman goes

Thanks very much for this information @t0m!

Print journalists should never be on television let alone talk shows, this is just something that has evolved over the period of the print medium dying.

The reporting of 'Best firming by the hour' suggests that somewhat substantial discussions are being held and some of it got leaked. Or its complete bs. But it seems real, unfortunately.

I think the opposite. You would have to have an incredibly dumb agent to be leaking things out with an important match being played on the weekend...it's like idiots like Riccio act like it's happening tomorrow and he's already a free agent

Similar to Ponga most of it is purely media based and nothing to do with the player

I think he should hold his ground. Best is and will remain on amazing coin! And as others have mentioned, add the rep payments too. For once there’s more than money to retain and attract players to the club! A lot more.

I realise that different positions garner more coin and whether you are classified a match winner also affects payments, but the game requires all sorts of different skills to create a successful side. That said I would like to know how much someone like Crossland is on in comparison to Best.

I know you can't plan for injuries and make an accurate prediction how many games someone will play in a season, but to me I think Crossy offers at least as much to the success of the team as Braddy does.

 

[Macca89]

You could argue that without Crossland we aren’t in the position we are in now

 

[Les Misérables]

Crossland in his current form is more important to the team and its success than Best in his current form

Phoenix’s efforts at the back end of last week were incredible.

Particularly, that last one when he was moved into the halves but still tracked a kick to the other side of the field to catch it, massive effort
