I wouldn't like to be in CEO Shaun Mielekamp's shoes. How does he hold onto our current sponsorship portfolio? Let alone attempt to try to increase private investment in our club. Three of our last 4 thrashings have been by fellow Sydney clubs in Manly, Penrith, and the Sharks. The NRL...
Was out at Newy races yesterday. LG's 2 year old colt, Exit Clause was equal favourite in the fourth. Of course I couldn't back it. With 200 to go it was streets ahead and pulling away from the field. I did my best to stop the inevitable. I derided it, screamed at it, cursed it but it went on...
You are 100% correct CK. Benji should be telling all of our lower grade coaches that there is an NRL spot up for grabs in an emerging team. Guys like Roberts, Godinet and Saukuru should be champing at the bit.
Unfortunately we can't even get the J.C. bit right Hal. A quick peruse of the panthers interchange reveals that he is playing for Penrith this weekend... Jack Cogger (J.C). that is! Sorry mate. Just couldn't help myself.
Let's face it. With big Sam out until possibly round 20 we have a gaping second row hole. Roberts was impressive against Manly in a losing side. If he can reproduce the goods against a top notch team like the panthers then he may prove to be the answer. He's young enough and has size on his...
Thanks for the intel once again 'kade7'. I for one would take Shaun Blore back in a heartbeat. He is a big body and injury free can plug a hole when KPP and Sam are out. We didn't see the best of him here due to ongoing injuries. Solid defender and knows the WT culture. If we can convince his...
I totally get where you are coming from Paws & Claws. It is true 'starlet Lachie' has a somewhat frugal 38.5% winning record at the dogs. However this result is a whopping 38.5% higher than his win/loss ratio against the 'ínferior' Club, Team, and Coach he walked out on. It's almost like...
It's funny how percentages are used as a litmus test in many sports including NRL.
Old forum members would remember former boxing promoter 'Breakeven' Bill Mordey. Bill always maintained that he operated his promotions business on a skinny 10% margin. Despite his many ups and downs Bill was...
Gee without Twally, Big Sam and Sione we look skinny in the backrow. Was always going to happen. We need at least one more solid edge forward to get us through an injury crisis. We were pretty lucky last year re injuries. Don't like our chances against the panthers.
Another great catch RHS. The wife and I have been in Europe for the last 2 months hence my lack of posting. Just before we left I had a bow mount Minn Kota installed on the Seafarer. I need to wire it up and finish a couple of things on the boat before I venture out. Shouldn't take me too long...
