Chris Toce - National Recruiting Manager

Shafted by SOS and Gubby Allen. These two don’t brook any pushback from anyone all the way up the CEO. They demand total subservience.
At a guess Toce pushed back, and that was it.

Add Ross Lyon to that. Any recruiter Ross Lyon hates for recruiting the wrong candidates after what he has recruited is fine with me. Plus he's fatter than me so that is worth something too 😁

Games played is a flawed/overrated metric IMO, albeit it's hard work finding other types.
agreed, every club has to have 22 players each week.

Maybe its the B&F - say number of top 5 and top 10 finishes.
For example Tylar Young finishing 14th in the JDM is a pass mark for a rookie. A first round pick needs to be top 10.
But maybe this just reinforces the games played metric.

I saw Allen Lyon & Silivagni at a restaurant in Brighton just before the start of the season.
And they thought there shiit dosent stink.

As trade has become more prevalent games played should be a better proxy.

But you also have the reverse where our younger players weren’t getting games because they could push out our established premiership players.

Not sure what a better metric is but it still has the feel that it has to average out.

Ie if you took it to absurdity where your team size is 1 and you make 1ND pick and 1 rookie pick once every five years then On games played…. If you are nailing ND then your rookie selections suck. If you are nailing the rookie then your ND sucks

Good timing for him, gets an opportunity to rebuild a list with some very likely high picks

How do you pronounce his surname, Toce (as in dose)? Tochay? Toccy? Tosay?

You were in Brighton? You weren't planning a robbery at Bec Judd's house were you. Apparently she is worried about dodgy characters in her neighbourhood. Anyone in a Tigers outfit would qualify for her.
