Thats looks very close to the truth. RB has been very exposed this year and hasn't really dominated (apart from the bad press).

For a small time I am going to become a B4Eva and copy and paste the same message. I want to know from people like Spert and TTT why they think it is appropriate that: "The Saints' $214,000 recruiting budget last year was the least of any club - little more than a quarter of the total spent by ...

At least he is making the effort to meet with supporters. I wouldn't denigrate that as a waste of time for any President (past, future or imcumbent). You just did. Feedback is important.

Eastern, if they currently have 7000-9000 proxies then I'm pretty sure they can get them again and I would have thought that producing those 7000-9000 proxies on November 26 at the AGM would ensure that those they want will be voted on to the Board? Surely the current argument is only over the date...

I could give up my wife's ticket and suffer the couch for a couple of weeks

Hamill, Gehrig weren't even tough guys Which team have you been watching all these years??? i concur Hamill not even a tough guy? maybe your memory has faded badly over the last 2 seasons he missed The lions game 2005 was the gutsiest individual performance I have seen. Sammy took on the Lion's bac...

Is Spud still employed by Linfox?

I find this very funny.

If Teffers wants to ensure Fox is not behind the Board he might have to vote for SFF .

Forget the 5 years rubbish given his injuries. He has come good the past season … 8 bests in 17 matches is not something to belittle. He has not destroyed the opposition as I thought he would this year but if you see him he is still just a kid. I believe he is wakening up to himself as a footballe...

I was waiting for your response.

Wish Brooksy as much bad as you like but he is still only the same age as CJ. Given that he has missed 2 years and has just finished an excellent year for Casey he is a lot more promising. Brooksy is about ready now for AFL even if it will pIss you off.

Ah....but you see I don't think Gdanski is clueless...or that he does not havea good idea of what was going on. Well then why did they go public that they didn't know where the million is? Is that because Gdanski is clueless, or very smart, or actually doesn't know where the million is ?(assuming w...

Cheers - hope you all dont get too upset when i critisise the new messiahs in the seasons ahead. Fair enough if they are accompanied by your training reports at the same time. Bloody good reports last pre season. Hope you kept your fitness to cycle down to the club this pre-season :D . Looking forw...

SR ... SFF actually did say that no idea where the money was parked ... lol. You do not believe it. Fair enough but I don't think there is anything for the SFF to gain by their statement. I doubt they are trying to win over members by being ignorant. Are you calling them liars? What on earth do the...

Brooks will be lucky to stay IMO, but I suspect if he does, it will be as a FF with some pitch-hitting in the ruck.... Interchanging his pinch hitting with MG and Kosi in the forward pocket and FF leaving the bench for our midfielders. FFS give us the 2008 premiership cup now. I am very happy with ...

I'm a huge Brooks fan too, just think he's had his card marked for the last 6 months. Ahead of Watts for mine as a forward, but behind Rix as a ruckman. His card was marked ... no question. But ... G-Train has walked out which RL did not expect, RL lost faith with Rix by end of year, Clarke has gon...

No-one thinks Westway is a Messiah but the majority of us also don't think we need a detailed business plan in front of us to form a view that he is a better option than RB. We have been close to premiership favorites last 2 years, great TV exposure this year and yet still bottom of the revenue pile...

After 7 years we know RB is not an "Eddie". Westway is probably not either but at least some 3rd parties will give him a chance. RB has had his time and what you see is what you get which is bottom quarter revenue with a top team. Lol - you have to laugh given 2 years ago we had the premie...

I am pleased to see you have changed the delisting of Brooksy to speculation.

I am hapy to declare my speculation that he will be a future All Australian ruck man.

Hopefully it will be with the Saints.

SFF/Westway obviously has a plan but it doesn’t mean they have the detailed information to release a prospectus … lol. SFF have publicly acknowledged they do not know where the $1 million is parked. Do we have $1 million cash to start with anyway and is it relevant to a prospectus … lol. Joffa...

Fair enough but then you should also put against Brooksy's name (Possibility) ... unless you are one of Plugger 66's disciples. I don't think there will be any more delistings with Raymond and Sweeney gone ... so much for the big clean out some posters have been BS ing about. Agree that Attard, Gear...

I haven't read that Brooks was delisted. Can you can confirm? Negligence if true.

In hostile merger/acquistion or board takeovers, the outside party is often unlikely to have the luxury of intimate insider knowledge to build a detailed plan of how it will take the company forward. Yes it will have a plan, but often doesn't release this (because the incumbent can freely pick hole...

Alright...I will go one at a time for you! Can you or anyone answer what the currents baord's plan is for the next 3 years? This is not a difficult question as I have an idea that would guarantee this club's success forever....but what is the Butters plan? Can you answer...does anyone know? Go and ...

I don’t see how SFF can produce a detailed business plan without full access to the records, the accountants, and key operating personal like RL, JB and Ross Smith. I would hope SFF does not get that access until they are appointed. Any detailed business plan produced before hand I would regard a...
