Wayne Pearce is an exception based on his Player and Integrity credentials.

Sorry Magpie, nothing to do with Wests or Balmain. Just a blatant cheap shot at a pillar of the South West of Sydney.

Thankfully we have Wayne Pearce who is beyond reproach….
 
Everything to do with wests as he was labelled a "WESTS PEANUT" despite his lofty status,is slanderous to not only himbutr to 50-60% of the posters who were wests fans originally.

Fair enough, but can we agree that calling a respected businessman a "peanut" was probably a poor choice of word with no justification. It is how these barneys start.

I dont go calling respected intelligent people "peanuts".You just said you dont use any bias towards editing e.t.c.And kudos to you for that but to call him a Wests peanut which you then reiterate in a post a little later that it wasnt him who was the peanut but WESTS the club was a peanut means "YOU ARE CLUELESS OF YOUR AUDIENCE" as this is a WESTS tigers forum.Did you think this was the betty ford forum or something.Many great men much more courageous than you and I have worn that wests jersey like raudonikis,kelly and summons e.t.c just like balmain with pearce,jack and barnes e.t.c and to call a club peanuts and to call me a sook in responding to this as many others has have aswell ill add just shows that the peanut sook isnt me or marsden.Quit with the namecalling its immature and since you dont enjoy "LOFTY STATUS" then wattoas a moderator, I eagerly await the moderators abusing you for calling people sooks and peanuts and warning you with potential bans.Like us normal posters do. :roll :roll :roll :roll :roll :roll
 
About the only thing in that post that makes sence is that this is a Wests Tigers Forum… If your so stuck in your Black Bird World, Wests Magpies have there own forum. I'm sure you can go play violins and chat about what could of been over there... I think the theme song is "Im stuck on a feeling" or something like that?!

Do you have anything to add to this thread, you know, The IC is coming.... Ring any bells???

Mate it's slander. John and Jim Marsden have done a hell of a lot for the south west of Sydney and to accuse them of being peanuts is just poor form. You should really do some research before you shout your mouth off

Your ARL / Super League argument also holds no basis. The fact that David Gallop remains as CEO, a lawyer for Super League during the "war", renders your argument completely null & void

Qlders??? Quayle & Arko are from NSW! Thank god there not around anymore…
 
This is about the IC. Not about Super League, or where people are from, etc.
That was in the past, the Commission is about the future of the game.

I think Marsden would be very good for the Commission, however I can understand the conflicts of interests that can arise. He has done work for the AFL and it has been recent too.

I'd be more worried about the non-compete clause that News appears unwilling to agree to.
 
ARL, News face off over Marsden and rebel option
Brad Walter
June 28, 2011

AN ANTICIPATED showdown between representatives of the ARL and News Ltd could today result in the historic announcement of the eight people to sit on the game's inaugural independent commission - or leave negotiations over its formation in tatters.

Almost three years after Gold Coast CEO Michael Searle and Sydney Roosters boss Nick Politis kicked off talks with News aimed at forming an independent commission to take over the running of the code, only two issues remain unresolved.

Still being disputed are the appointment of former Wests Magpies and Wests Tigers chairman Jim Marsden and the media group's refusal to guarantee it will not form another rebel competition.

The issues were discussed yesterday at a gathering of the Sydney-based NRL club chairmen at Beppi's Restaurant in East Sydney, and they will dominate a scheduled NSWRL board meeting today ahead of a meeting of the independent sub-committee charged with appointing the inaugural commissioners.

ARL officials and club chairmen want Marsden to represent the game's western Sydney heartland on the new body, but News and the QRL favour Ansett executive Mark Williamson, who has ties to both organisations.

The other seven positions are understood to have been agreed by the sub-committee, which comprises News chief operating officer Peter Macourt, ARL chairman John Chalk, QRL director Terry Mackenroth and, for the 16 NRL clubs, South Sydney chairman Nicholas Pappas.

The seven commissioners are:

* 2000 Sydney Olympics boss Gary Pemberton,

* IT guru and former Kangaroo John Grant;

* Adman Ian Elliot,

* Harris Farm Markets founder Catherine Harris,

* Former Qantas chief financial officer Peter Gregg,

* CSR executive director Jeremy Sutcliffe, and,

* League great Wayne Pearce.

Mackenroth is thought to be siding with Macourt in the selection of candidates after News brokered a deal that assured the QRL responsibility for the code in Queensland, thereby preventing Queensland Cup clubs from forming their own competition and dealing directly with the independent commission over funding.

The NSWRL controls the ARL board by a 6-4 vote, however, and a final decision on the eight commissioners has to be ratified by the ARL and News as joint stakeholders in the NRL, effectively leaving the QRL sidelined.

It is understood that ARL officials and the NRL clubs initially supported NSW Police deputy commissioner Catherine Burn, while News would not accept the appointment of former ARL chief executive John Quayle, who has been working as a global sports consultant since quitting his role during the Super League war to assist the peace process.

However, they are set to insist that Marsden be appointed. NSWRL directors, who include Canterbury chairman Ray Dib and Wests Tigers powerbroker David Trodden, are expected to instruct Chalk not to surrender over his appointment.

Marsden, the senior partner at Marsdens Law Group, comes from one's of Campbelltown's oldest and best-known families and is heavily involved in the local community.

As well as once chairing Wests Magpies and Wests Tigers, he has previously been chairman of the Campbelltown Chamber of Commerce.

If he was appointed, his background would ensure the new commission includes someone with experience in running a football club.

Since the Herald revealed the push to appoint Marsden, he has become the victim of a smear campaign in News publications over his decision to join the advisory board of the AFL's new western Sydney franchise, now the GWS Giants, in 2009.

However, Marsden has told officials he accepted the GWS role only because of the benefits it would bring to Campbelltown and supporters say the fact that the AFL targeted him shows why he is a worthy candidate for the independent commission.

It is unclear what will happen if News does not accept Marsden's appointment at today's meeting.

Steve Mortimer has put up the idea of increasing the Commissioners to 9 to include both Marsden and Williamson… I cant see News signing the Rebel Clause either!

Yep your right their Watto The old scars still run and burn deep into both sides of SL and ARL and that is what may destroy the IC bargaining process imo and has from day 1
 
The lack of 'Truth' in the formation of the NRL, and the ARL War will always leave a scar… You only need to look at grass-roots football to realise.

Time for a new generation of people to drive the game of RL further!!!
