Recruitment is pretty straight forward. "I need this" says coach. He then gets what he can often talking to many agents, which is why you often hear rumours about clubs talking to players.

Player Logistics, whilst I'm not aware of this title in any NRL clubs, it possibly includes duties like:- team manager, stats, player welfare, education etc.

Don't forget the great Dom Fenton is no longer at the club. He was the manager.

Rooster is recruitment so easy when your in a black hole like we are? if you were approached by Powell would he currently enthuse you? wow I must sign for them!

Clubs are recruiting earlier and earlier the September approach ruling seems to have been binned by most clubs! Yes it would be best to recruit once we know who is going to be coach 2013, but we can't wait! and yes Dom had never been replaced!

Have you stopped taking the happy pills ?

No just always realistic, but never OTT like some!

Leave Listy alone

This is a great comment, I love it

"Chris Bailey has been recruited initially as a standalone employee who will report directly to the Chairman and Chief Executive.

This is because our initial findings have immediately recognized that recruitment and retention in 2013 is at severe risk if we allow those responsible for acquiring the likes of Nick Koupartisas to have any say in further selections.

Chris will report to the Director of Rugby League once appointed and work with the coaching staff, whoever they will be."

-- That's the reality of the statement

Would I ever say anything about Listy or yourself!

But he could also be recruiting a new coach. It doesn't say 'Player recruitment' but Head of Recruitment.
Would think that is the problem - getting someone to sell this as a club that anyone would want to coach up to a good standard. Out of the 'heartlands', expensive living, all the travel, Ground probs, not for the faint hearted.

I believe we don't have that good a reputation over here in oz. Nothing to do with current coach.

However. You will always find a player to go over.

I know I've been an absentee a lot inthe last 18 months but when and where did Dom Fenton Go?? Was it something we said??
