A question that no seems to answer, why do we need Webby to develop the pathways? He’s neither the GM nor the director of football.
My understanding would be it is more under Andrew McFadden. He has the recruitment team under him which would cover scouting the young guys for the various sides in the pathways systems.

Webster would might be involved in some of the meetings or be aware of specific players. He should be more across their development when they are closer to first grade. For example checking in with the NSW Cup coach on how specific players are progressing. Or watching the games himself.

He does attend the NSW Cup games when the first grade side has a bye, or not playing on the same day.

The main guys (George, McFadden, Webster) at the club would be across recruitment and development. But my understanding the pathways is Andrew McFadden's responsibility.

From the clubs web site.
Hugely exciting times for the club as we set about building up a pathways structure which is going to serve us so well in years to come.

That’s not pathways that’s player specific development.
Can't really have one without the other no? I'd also say that the head coach will dictate the culture of the club. We can bring a lot of talent through but if none of them want to srtick around then its a bit fucked. I.E. Papali'i and Katoa to name a few. And from my understanding players love to play under webster at the moment. Now if we lose Laban, Demitric, Leka or Ali then i'll change my tune.
 
Every team has a style that bothers ours.

Webster shouldn't really be anywhere near pathways work.

Is there a report or source or something you can point me to that suggests Webster is deeply involved?
 
What is your source on Webster developing pathways?

As if he would have time, I'm guessing your source is "trust me bro"
I think the origin of this conversation was around a team being built around webby via pathways and us shifting away from external recruitment. Kinda like how Ivan had a team built around him from 2007 to about 2011. And again when he went to the Panthers.

So if I guess the argument was, if we are waiting on pathways to develop a premiership team do we need webby to be here for it?

Not to start the debate again or anything. Also I could be wrong here.

That’s exactly the right take.

A lot of people take being asked to explain their decision making as disagreement and get mad.

Well if you think something it must be true then, have you had much experience with football clubs and how they run or are you just self taught by your own thoughts?

You also seem to have a very intricate knowledge of how the Warriors run the club and their strategies and even seem to be about to read the coach's mind, it is quite incredible.
