OFFICIAL Q&A Club discussion with Shaun Mielekamp

[Chunk]

but if anyone is watching this page hoping for a strong statement from him on anything that is not in line with HBG thinking , you’ll be waiting a long time

How do you know this?

Not saying it's not true but how have you come to this conclusion?

And what current issue do you think he should make a big deal about with HBG?

Off the top of my head I can list:

- his praise for HBG and decision to play in Vegas next year.
- he initially avoided Susie’s question on the Orange jersey saying it’s still in use.
- defence of magpies on the jersey.
- his reductive notion about fans not being aligned behind the Tigers drawing from the real disconnect between fans and HBG.
- statement about Lidcombe being important to our pathways,
- his weak statements on NSW State Cup team being called the Magpies and playing out of Lidcombe instead of Campbelltown.

Idk, maybe the debenture system from the 1980s.. do they even have internet? Are they on dial up?

When will the player list of who is leaving be released? Most clubs who are out of contention have released a list

Haven't read further, so apologies if someone else has said this.

It is not about "home and away" jerseys. It shouldn't be about "main and alternate" jerseys. Nor should night or day matter.

It's about accommodating for clashes. If they are playing Penrith away and the panthers are all black, they're not going to wear black jerseys; It's incumbent on the away team to wear a non clashing strip - as best as they can within reason.

Practically every other sport outside Australia has been doing this forever.

(I think) it should be:
The home team specifies the jersey they will wear. The away team is obligated to complement that strip.
If the tigers want to wear white at home, then the dragons wear all red, bulldogs all blue....

Makes sense. I hadn't considered the clashing of jerseys.

They are trying to sign players from other clubs, if that fails they will extend whoever can not get a contract elsewhere.

Have you actually read any of his replies to posters questions on here, if not , do so, as for making a big deal about with HBG, remember they agreed to an independent WT board, how did that go ?
