Recruitment and retention

[mr_c]

If Wolff wants him, we are in a very good position to retain him.

think it be more up to what kodi wants , might be more than just a upgrade here , which is allways gotta be taken in to the outside factors

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Just resigned Donoghoe, attention is now turning to Kodi. Who we want to keep.

A star player knocking back powerhouse foundation club South Sydney for expansion minnows the Dolphins?

It was unheard of just 18 months ago but now it’s transpired with gun hooker Jeremy Marshall-King rejecting the Rabbitohs to pen a long-term extension at Redcliffe.

The Dolphins have experienced a rapid transformation since their inaugural match last March. Leading into their first season, recruiting representative players and rising stars was like pulling hen’s teeth, but they are quickly becoming a destination club.

Bit of a stretch that Souths are "a powerhouse". I bet our bottom line compares very favorably with theirs.

I think our bottom line will see us be a powerhouse once we are fully established. And that will come along quicker than expected considering our performances.

In terms of a financial rich list, I’d imagine we would be in the top 3.

Hard to judge because the Dolphins owners are the Redcliffe Dolphins, aren't they? Other teams have private owners or partially privately owned. Broncos and I think Melbourne are owned by shareholders. No idea who the largest share holders are but they are the de-facto owners.

Not sure how other clubs are travelling financially but we are in a strong position. Redcliffe are loaded. That's why we were picked over other teams.

Bruce Gordon owns the Dragons. He would go close to the richest private owner in the league. However, the Dragons are considered last to second last

Funnily enough, Gordon seems to be worth more then him, and does fuck all for the Dragons.

The St George Illawarra Dragons have a new ownership structure with WIN taking on responsibility for the Illawarra component of the joint venture.
Following a lengthy and considered process, the St George Illawarra Dragons, the Illawarra Steelers and WIN today announced the transaction which will change the ownership structure, the shareholders, and the Board of Governance of the club.

The new shareholder agreement includes a matching funding arrangement between St George District Rugby League Football Club and WIN, the repayment of the Dragons loan from the NRL and a change in the structure of the club's board. The Steelers retain an interest in the club through a seat on the board.
Dragons Chairman Brian Johnston welcomed the agreement saying the decision would allow the Dragons to remain an iconic club and brand, with successful business, community and rugby league programs for long-term sustainable success.
"Today is a momentous day in the history of the St George Illawarra Dragons as we welcome WIN as a partner in our club," Johnston said. "The Gordon family through WIN bring a great passion for the Dragons and have been a supporter of rugby league for decades, first with the Steelers in 1982 and then the Dragons.
"This is an exciting launching point for the next stage of the Dragons. This arrangement ensures a bright future for our club, particularly as a Pathway and Development Club, in that our male and female pathways from grassroots to NRL remain strong and continue to grow.
"The continuing involvement of the Illawarra Steelers is a welcome and valued part of the ongoing structure."
WIN owner Bruce Gordon said the new partnership would enhance the commercial strength of the club while ensuring the work of the Steelers in crafting strong representation for the Illawarra region in first class rugby league continues to be honoured.
"WIN has long partnered with the Steelers to bring world class rugby league to the Illawarra and we want that legacy to continue. We have worked closely with Peter Newell, Bob Millward and Sean O'Connor in particular throughout that time," Gordon said.

"The change of ownership allows us to underpin the amazing heritage of the St George Illawarra Dragons with strong commercial strategy while locking in the pathways for junior players to rise through the ranks of the Steelers to the NRL."
While Illawarra and Dragons supporters will see no change to the club, the new affiliation is expected to strengthen its corporate structure as it reshapes the business away from the traditional club-funded model.
WIN Executive Chair Andrew Gordon said: "WIN is extremely excited to be partnering with the Dragons. We have meticulously worked through this arrangement to ensure that the Illawarra legacy and the St George heritage are fully respected."
As part of the restructure Brian Johnston will step into the role of CEO, replacing Peter Doust who announced his retirement earlier this year, while Andrew Gordon will take on the role of Chairman. The positions are effective from November 1 and October 1, 2018 respectively.

Steelers Chairman Peter Newell said the desire to improve the financial sustainability of the Steelers, to be an ongoing part of the Dragons' Board and to continue to see world class rugby league remain in the Illawarra were fundamental and mandatory to the decision to partner with WIN.
"Today's announcement underlines the close association between WIN, the Gordon family and the Steelers as an iconic Wollongong name now joins another iconic name in St George, in presenting the greatest game of all at home and away," Newell said.
"The Steelers, with the help of our St George colleagues and including WIN, have worked for the past two decades to fulfill our charter of keeping world class rugby league in Wollongong.
"It has been a challenging quest at times, and I am pleased the game at the elite level under the Dragons brand will continue to proudly go forward in our district with two committed joint-venture partners.
"Importantly, all parties share a commitment to ensuring local juniors have the opportunity to represent our district at the highest level."

I think it's changed since. As far as I know Brian Johnston got vicious hate for not taking a harder line against the NRL in regard to de Belin.

Not sure, just what I heard.

 

[Equaliser]

Funnily enough, Gordon seems to be worth more then him, and does fuck all for the Dragons.

I'm sure he's worth a lot but according to the Courier Mail a couple of months back, Politis is the richest owner. Or CEO or whatever his position is. He sinks plenty of money into the Roosters. Lots of high paying jobs for former Roosters players after they retire.

Who was? Johnston? I heard he didn't talk at all and it pissed off a lot of their supporters. I don't know it, just heard the rumour.
