Can someone describe the difference between a Recruiting Manager and List Manager?
How can a recruiting manager successfully do his job without being in control of where the playing list is at?
How can a list manager successfully build / manage a list without being in control of who is recruited?
Makes no sense to me.
Massive difference
At Richmond Hartley as list manager is responsible for rating our list as well as then rating other clubs list and monitoring the contract status of all players throughout the comp. As part of rating our list he is supposed to identify gaps n our list and make recommendations as to what we needs to fill the gaps. Filling on the gaps includes working out what we need with regard to the draft, trading and free agency.
The recruiting manager is responsible for looking for the best talent available at the draft that meets the criteria of what the list needs as specified by the list manager
In its simplest form the list manager says what we need and the recruiting manager is charged with finding it to draft. However the list manager has the greater influence because they have the final say on trades and free agents. The recruiting manager has no say in who the club trades for or who they sign under free agency
At the RFC Both sit on the list management committee but reckon it is fair to assume Hartley has far more say than Jackson. His new job title clearly shows that
