Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3187280, member: 9326"] I'm sorry, but if in a $50 million+ organisation with a CEO, Football Manager and a recruitment and retention committee stocked with people on the board that it still all comes down to Wayne Bennett to decide what players get signed and for how long and how much they will get paid for their services, and we're going to largely absolve the others of the blame on this one, then it really does speak volumes about what is so fundamentally wrong with this football club and it also begs the question why we bother paying the other guys mentioned above at all if the whole thing is just worked out by Wayne Bennett? Of COURSE Wayne Bennett was the driving force behind recruiting Boyd when he came to the club and of COURSE he was probably the loudest voice in the room in advocating Boyd get re-signed in 2017. He may well have had very vocal opinions about how long that deal should be and how much he'd be prepared to outlay to make it happen. The whole point of being a huge multi million dollar organisation with a shitload of employees and management staff who are all supposed to be contributing to the place is that someone is supposed to be looking at things objectively and at arms length from the emotion of it all and putting checks and balances in place. Darius Boyd's deal should have subject to even greater scrutiny than any other especially given it is reasonable to view Bennett's opinion with a level of partisanship. Surely the CEO or the Football Manager or one of the Board Members with all their commercial experience should have put their hand up and asked if this was definitely the best deal the Broncos could get in the best interests of the club? If the CEO and Football Manager and the Recruitment and Retention Committee are so easily able to be steamrolled by Bennett that years down the track fans can simply wash their hands of any involvement then it honestly makes you wonder why we bother keeping these people around at all? I'll finish it with this last point. Wayne Bennett absolutely got the call on Darius Boyd's last deal wrong. He's gotten several calls on players wrong before too. He's also gotten a SHITLOAD of calls right over a very long career. Now compare that to the deals we've achieved under Paul White and ask yourself this: How many of those deals could you hand on heart say worked out really well? [/QUOTE]
