Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Interesting snippet from the latest SMH Article:

"Doueihi was upset he had been asked to move from halfback to lock forward to accommodate debutant Javon Andrews. He was also frustrated it took him several days to track down Marshall to be told about the positional switch, and Jarome Luai, who is off to the Eels next year, was not the half asked to move.

Douieihi then felt the need to tell Marshall there had been a dip in the levels of professionalism and accountability at the club, and that by taking time out from the game, his drastic action would shine a light on the bigger problems he believed were holding the club back."

This seems to line up with what we are seeing on the field. I personally believe Doueihi is completely in the wrong for not turning up for his team mates and the club. The drop off we have seen from the first 10 rounds is massive and some of the players are not putting in the effort. The drop off from some players is ridiculous.

I can imagine guys like AD and Twal who seem to be hard workers on and off the field, take care of their bodies and practice clean living would be very frustrated with some of the professionalism by some of the other players, particularly if the rumours of vaping etc are true... Doueihi thought that by walking out he was making a statement that would finally make Benji and the club listen. It was completely the wrong way to go about it, but the question needs to be asked as to why it even had to come to that for the club and Benji to take it seriously. This club needs better leadership in the football department and another voice to work with, but also be separate to Benji.

We’ll also need a ban on Shisha and hookah.

There is a rumor floating around that Jean Nassif is interested in buying the club if receives a pardon on arrival in Sydney.

Champion @Don Kershane - I heard he thinks we're a Top Place. 😉

Banning hookers will never happen..

I don't think there's any job at the vin other than head coach that Benji would consider.

Director or football perhaps a slight chance

Yeah - I hope if we do change coach, we don't burn Benji in the process. I think he's good for the club and he could even be really good in the recruitment/scouting area with Gallant or another club figurehead.

As if you wouldn’t be calling AD , “old harold holt over here going walkabout when he sees fit “
Or David copperfield doing a disappearing act when the spotlights on “
The contempt would be crazy
