I said "none of us know the restrictions, or otherwise that were placed on BM"

Likewise how do you know he had a major say in recruitment?

The answer is you don't anymore than others on this forum. It is all only opinion.

BM was the manager GH was and is the CEO and a director so the main responsibility falls on the senior man.

Even if BM had had full control over recruitment (which most of us believe he didn't) then it would have been with financial restrictions imposed by the board of directors. That is how companies work. I do not remember BM making many recruitment trips down under but I do recall GH doing so.

By the way Sinfield has just retained JJB too!

Financial restrictions like a salary cap?
Speak to other people involved in player movements they'll tell you exactly how much say he had.
Wrt Sinfield retaining Jjb another mistake along with retaining Ablett signing Thompson & making Ferres Captain.

JJB may well be more of 'club' decision than a pure rugby one. He's literally a fixture around the first team, and even if he doesn't play many minutes or games nobody would want to see him shunted out unwillingly. Having said that, he needs to pull the pin sooner rather than later, as he must know his actual on-field contribution is dwindling rapidly. I've no doubt its a hard decision, but if the club have and are treating him well IMO at some stage he needs to show that loyalty and not damage the team by hanging around because it suits him.

BR i think JJB should have a role at the Club for as long as he wants just not a playing one.

I agree entirely about an off-field role.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

Whatever that role is it has to add value otherwise its a waste of money which could be invested more fruitfully. This is a business after all not a home for every ex player.

The only person making any money out of rugby AM is Simmons - the viewing figures are really low so that is not a viable option for JJB longer-term.

And how he makes money with a personality like wallpaper paste is remarkable.

You can say a lot of things about JJB but lack of personality isn't one of them

I can't watch rugby AM, simply because I find JJB and Simmons embarrassing to listen to.
