Awesome Joe Cool, top player and butcher man! Used to supply the best quality meat at those post match bbq’s at Lidcombe back in the day 👍

Yeah, cook was not the issue. We need to get rid of the musician and real estate agent first. God only knows what they offer to the board.

Good on Simon for trying to institute change through the most significant means available to him. Let's hope the real rot follows suit.

I think Rick Wayde is well past his “use by date” too

I recall as a kid regularly walking past his Lidcombe shop to catch a glimpse of him.
Made my day when I saw him through the window

That date was around the start of this millennium.

 

[coivtny]

Given his comments and self awareness I would think he was the least of the problems…

I’m told he is a top administrator.

Spoke to Joe Cool one night at a Wests Magpies reunion. He said he never wanted to leave Wests. He was on about $15k a year and Manly offered him $30k. He went to Roy Masters and said he’d stay for $18k and Roy told him Wests couldn’t afford it and he should go to Manly. Reluctantly, he went.

Was Dorahy Magpies coach during 2006 when they threatened to become a feeder club of the Raiders?

Hopefully this is the first of many changes

His butcher shop was at the bottom of my street back then. I too used to walk past his butcher shop to catch a glimpse of the man back in the 70's. Wish him well in this new role. Lord knows when the cold wind blows that with him there that winning will not be so rare. Definately a blast from the past.

Not too much wrong with the haircut when you consider what else is out there, the problem is with what is going on in his head and that of his fellow board members.

Would probably be safe to say that at the very least some of them have flipped their wigs.

Yeah but what goes on in the head to decide to get a haircut like that at his age? Hahaha

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I don't get it, how did Pascoe and Lee let this happen?? A person that's actually competent now on the board.

My understanding is that Lee was baited out of the office with a bogus media appearance and someone told Pascoe that a new pallet of hats were ready for pick up at Botany.

 

[Magpies1969]

Went back Joe Cool.

What a player he was in his heyday.

Once of my favourites growing up.

Let's hope more changes are coming to the Board

That's a quality mo you've got there finnzo.
But if you didn't have it, you would have more hair on the top of your head and could have a haircut just like him, even at your age 😉

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Cook says he has made the decision to step down due to ‘workload’ and a ‘need for change’.
“I have made the decision to step aside as a director of Wests Tigers,” said Cook.
“The workload in my position as CEO of the Holman Barnes Group has increased to such a level, that I don’t believe I can commit to the time required to fulfil my obligations and duty as part of the Board.

Hmm is this a Clayton's Step Down?- The Step Down you have when you aren't really stepping down. Being CEO of the Holman Barnes Group which basically runs Wests Tigers at the Board Level is just a smoke-and-mirrors move.

 

[thegbone]

There had been rumours that Cook was the leak to the media, not saying its true just that it was a rumour. I guess we'll find out over the next few months.

The funny thing is I’m actually bald and I have a big mo and I’m only 29 hahaha was bald at the age of 21

He's just a groovy kinda guy who never got past the swingin' 60's and 70's.
