The new chapter's taken a bizarre turn, the previous owner's in hiding from the FBI, the wrestling coach is the new chairman of the board and Tony Iro is still here, he's like a made man.

 

[BippidyDooDah]

Bizarre appointment for such an important position at a critical time for the Warriors.

I liked him as Shane Camerons manager, but this is completely different.

 

[playdaball]

Bizarre appointment, even after reading the Warriors PR article I thought part of it was missing. I was looking for the part about his commercial experience , education honours , Nrl pedigree …. In fact anything.

Don't overthink it. He probably just plays some good golf with Mark Robinson....

I can see Sam Lisone becoming a Warriors staff member in the future.

Boxing manager...mohawk doesn't delegate easily.

Boxing manager...mohawk doesn't delegate easily.

Maybe we need a gangster in head office?
the type of guy who could wrestle his into deals....

Its amazing we let him go considering how much time he spends with Robinson...

Yeah but you're talking about going up against the Sydney mafia here, maybe we should run this by Bald Tony before we make any rash decisions here Alex

I recall Ian Robson using his AFL knowledge to try and teach players the drop

We do have a horse racing guy running the NRL

 

[Bangbros 2023]

Just looking at this guy's face I think it's a bad move. We have a bunch of guys who are all probably mates? Never has served the warriors well. You guys think head hunters can take ownership next?

What the fuck is wrong with this place! It just reeks.

 

[Fonzie]

Gus (development) to Hodges
POS (recruitment) to Hodges
Rob Croot (chairman) to this guy

All in the last 12 months…the leadership team is getting very light

 

[Gizzyfan]

Gus and POS were not planned, although Robinson's comments on POS were telling. Give the bloke a go I guess.

 

[Bangbros 2023]

I smell David kidwell! you all know I'm right, it's such a Warriors move.
