Humpty on The Game Plan

Can't see Blocker not squeezing in the hard questions.
Seriously hope he pushes him re Sheens and our disasterous season.
The Tigers shellshocked supporters deserve some real answers - not spin.

Humpty is smarter than all of those monkeys… He can spin it pretty good, and won't be fazed by anything Blocker throws up.

Surprised he is going on the show considering our Season Review wouldn't even be close to being completed... I **wonder why he is doing it??**?

Memberships
Damage control
8000 missing last w/end
droves of members contacting/not renewing
 
actions speak louder than words.

get ready folks,going to be nothing but fluff pieces through the summer.

you are going to hear about a player having a great off season and then show the exact opposite during the season.

last off season the fluff was how groat had increased stamina and was going great,fast forward to the season and he is stuffed after 10mins and replaced every 15mins.
happens every year without fail.

gotta sell season tickets
 
A sad indication of our unfulfilled expectations can be seen by looking at the first and last rounds.
First round - talk of limiting tickets to members only because of a full house at L.O.
Last round - you could swing a cat at L.O.
Even allowing it was a Sat night ,and the weather wasn't great at the time, we were still a slim chance to make the 8 and it was Ellis' last game.
The fans had made their feelings clear by their absence…......
 
Yes CK, and that is the exact reason Humpty will be on the show. They have lost countless capital from this teams failure to make the finals and round 26 showed them that the fans are not happy. That game should have just as easily sold out as round 1\. Quality opposition, last game for the year, farewell to Gareth….the lack of crowd numbers was a protest and the powers that be certainly noticed it.

He will be trying to convince those that have decided not to renew their memberships why they should. It will be all BS and spin (although done very professionally) and leave us all none the wiser.
 
Humpty will show us all tonight the mastery of spin doctoring….no hard hitting question will be answered directly...no real answers or clear indications as to what will be done to avoid a repeat of 2012 in 2013...but will will be left with high hope and expectations and that we should not miss out by becoming season ticket holders...
 
I'm as anxious to see some fundamental changes as the rest of you, but geez give the bloke the opportunity to speak first before dumping on him

I would say the back lash re the season and fearful of the membership decline . Good luck with that !

He is going on the show tonight probably to sugar coat things a little, spread the blame across the club and start sowing the seeds of optimism for 2013\. Its will be well prepared fluff, but what is needed is in your face ambush and that will not happen

Humpty is from a marketing background

That explains the personality, or lack thereof.

Marketing people = salespeople minus the personality.

I think theyll go at him. They havnt got the Parra or Panthers CEO on. It's because we've underachieved so hard that hes had to front. I hope I'm not disappointed but I think he'll be asked some tough ones.

Well if the powers that be noticed all this why don't they actually do something proactive, like sacking the stale coaching staff and some religiously under-performing players, instead of going on TV and spinning a whole bunch of bull that won't make a scrap of difference to next year?

The fact that it would be most likely Gareth's last game is the only reason why I showed up.
 
I'm worried if I watch this my burning will just increase. I can't see anygood in this at all unless he is describing some sweeping changes but if it was than this would not be the platform to do it.

Expect " the boys have some soul searching to do" " no one is as disappointed as the players and the board" " the rumors of unrest is unfounded" something something real fans something something" " we are looking forward to proving the doubters wrong in '13"
" sheens and staff have the full backing blah blah"

What not to expect…anything of substance.

Let's hope he calls a spade a spade & doesn't tell any porkies. We might be passionate supporters but don't treat us like fools, enough with all the excuses.
