Morning everyone, there is a obviously a lot that has happened and in happening at the club since I last jumped online. I haven't had time to read everyone's comments and questions but when I get a chance I will do so. I am sure everyone wants me to focus 100% of my time and effort to the here...

I have to head offline now and sorry there are hundreds more questions for me to get through. I might never get to them all but it wont be from a lack of trying. In regards to "what happened to the Orange jersey"? Nothing happened we are still listed to wear it plenty more times this season...

Everything operationally is still flowing from the structure and plan that was put in place by Richo. Of course it is evolving and there is a long term scope and view to this being added. There is no silver bullet and every club has it's different nuances. Primarily I do like to focus on a...

I appreciate the feedback - We will keep working and building here to deliver the best match day we can. C-town next year will have a huge emphasis on this. My motherhood statement is that we need to turn match days into events and events into festivals. As far as never tear us apart it did...

This is where we need to put as much resource as we can for the long term - it is a big ocean but I am passionate about building this for the long term

I haven't consider but happy to join. however I'll decline the vice president role as I have too much on my plate at the moment.

Bequests are a revenue stream that whilst morbid they can be very for filling for families to now their loved ones are leaving a legacy with their club. the Australian Sports foundation has a facility to process these that ensure it doesn't all get eaten up by tax as well. It is always a hard...

I'm the CEO so yes I am in charge - I do however fundamentally want to empower all staff to be the experts in their field. I use the metaphor that a Hospital CEO doesn't know how to do brain surgery but he needs to make sure the brain surgeon has the tools and equipment to do their job the best...

Of course I am very passionate about this space and the work that Empower does. this impacts real lives and makes real change, it makes it all worth the hard work to know that there is a bigger picture at play here. We have grown significantly here and will keep monitoring the refinement on the...

As injury updates often change daily it is hard to keep up to speed myself. We do aim to drive the major updates via our socials and should be the main source of information. Now that we have Wayne Cousins back in our media team I'm confident there will be more regular updates coming through...

We are building an apples for apples report to better understand the funding gaps. there is a lot of mixed information out there and hard to truly judge the different expenditures. I don't have a clear picture yet but what is stark for me is the training facilities that our pathways have access...

Council hasn't released these yet but from what i have seen they are not far away from the final designs.

Good question, to be honest I don't have a full picture but i will ask. I know there was an alignment with Kayo subscription price times that I think caused some mis alignment. I haven't looked at Bar TV but I am very glad to be able to access this so makes sense to get more members using it.

The biggest challenge that we are trying to navigate is what is being caused by having the extra man on the bench. If we have KOE games before the NRL then key players end up missing game time, if we have KOE cup on after NRL then the experience is pretty poor with game either very late or...

The process i am driving is that internally we build a detailed plan of everything that needs to be achieved and then start ticking them off one by one. From scouts, player payments, coach education, coach development, player welfare, medical, strength and conditioning resources, training...
