Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3082058, member: 9326"] I agree 100% that this is a critical part of his role. Perhaps the most critical part aside from the balance sheet overall. As I said previously, the jury is out on his ability to do this to some extent. I think he got the best Coach money could buy in Bennett at the time. I think he showed guts to go after the best going forward in Bellamy, knowing it would put him at odds with Bennett but that it was probably important for the club long term. I think his inability to land the Bellamy deal should count against him especially considering we had more than enough financial clout to win that tug of war, and I think if Seibold fails then that should count against him too (though Coaching appointments, whilst negotiated by the CEO, are not solely chosen by the CEO at the Broncos or at any football club). I'm from Sydney so I don't attend home games regularly, but if the match day experience needs improving then perhaps we need to recruit better in that regard. If people make enough noise about it I'm sure they will. If the CEO is prepared to replace Wayne Bennett for the good of the club, we can probably safely assume he's prepared to replace the people organising our match day experience for the same reasons. As I've said, we're not a perfect club and he is not a perfect CEO, but in the NRL amongst his peers he's almost certainly the best out there and the financial results he's overseen so far should be something we seek to continue through him re-signing for another term. If our footballing results don't improve, I suspect he'll find it hard to maintain the growth we currently enjoy, so it's now on him to ensure we have the right people in place to deliver good footballing results to shore up the strong financial results we already have.
