The Halfback Conundrum 2: Electric Halfbackloo

Man if the all these years of just never having a good, stable halves pairing are sorted within a year and a bit by a new recruitment guy & head coach, I won’t know whether to be rapt it’s finally sorted or filthy that it took so long

After all these years I’m jaded - we get excited each year of a new halves pairing or a new coach. New recruiter? They are just shopped players by extremely good salesmen disguised as agents. If this all clicks maybe we need to praise those guys.

Mate no agent tricked POS into chasing Dylan Brown. He’s tried to sign him to every club he’s been at. Dylan is his white whale. And no agent could trick a club into signing that deal lol.

Good point! But wasn’t really directing it at the Brown signing - that I still have no words on It’s others - there’s some backs being patted. Unfortunately it’s how the business works.

It is & it’s just an unfortunate part of the business unfortunately.

There’s only really two types of player agents: The totally unscrupulous ones who are completely full of **** like Moses, with Braith doing his best to become Moses 2.0, and the ones who are very slimy but fundamentally pretty nakedly honest in what their game is. You have to get in bed with one type, and if you have to pick one, it’s the ones where you at least know where you stand.

Do get the impression the Orr Bros/PSM and Sam Ayoub are POS’ preferred agents to deal with based on a lot of his signings, probably because he understands what their angle is, they are trying to look after the clients rather than chasing the power trip of ****ing someone over. Isaac Moses seems to be trying to be our version of Rich Paul on the other hand, trying to basically run clubs himself.
