Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Arthur Laundy is an old Balmain boy and has previously tried to take over Wests Ashfield. It didn’t work due to the Rozelle redevelopment, which the NSW Government screwed up.

Wests Ashfield are struggling. It’s evident when you walk into the club and look at the numbers.

The Laundys would be a smart step up for our club.

This vaping business is being blown out of proportion, as long as they aren't doing it at training and in club gear theres nothing anyone can do. People will do what people do in their private lives we can't control that. Similarly with guys doing rec drugs we all know its rampant everyone who has been out and seen players at clubs ect knows what goes on as do the clubs.

That being said if they are vaping, smoking doing lines or drinking at work they should be sacked/reprimanded depending on the severity. Same rules that apply to any work place apply to them, and if they are vaping and or smoking don't sign them in the first place as they are taking their job as an athlete seriously.

You can absolutely write into a players contract that they must look after their body throughout the season, keep in shape, eat well, not smoke.

Any player who smokes gets a warning, repeat offenders sacked. Simples.
 
Make no mistake. No player, other then those who are completely desperate, will sign with us now.

It is clear there is no strategy. No game plan. Benji's entire plan for the future of the club is like his playing style. Off the cuff chaos, no foresigor planning just constant improvisation.

That's a losing formula. Blatantly obvious to everyone.

Talent, but I assume they saw what life was like when they aren’t pro players and decided to try their ass off and give everything for the jersey

Any tobacconist that sells vapes will be permanently shut down. Vapes are highly dangerous and illegal

Laffer Curve in action.

They shut the shopfront, and the trade just moves to the car park out the back. You can't legislate away a black market once it's been created. The government helped create this beast, and now it's finding out how hard it is to put it back in the cage.

No .the staunch guys have me baffled how their still in business ,they are just holding on by decent folk that refuse to buy illegal goods and lottery tickets- its all on the government for taxing the product to the hilt and looking down on the commoners ,good hard working people that fluff their pillows and perks for them, they did it with the alcohol tax awhile ago ,vehicles . Just keep taxing the working class .
Nothing that the elite purchase.
Over tax vegemite and the sherpers will be climbing over each other to invade our shores for a few peso.
Rant just about over , anybody notice how superior doctors think they are now a days

If they are smoking it indoors at the gym that is illegal
 
Illegal smokes are as cheap as $11 a packet for 25 , at the servo 2day winny reds 20 pack $58.75.
Filthy product but the economics are simple

Alcohol and cigarette tax is a joke, they wouldn't need to tax as much as they do if they legalised and taxed weed, I'm surprised we're not like the USA where they tax players for pokie wins if you win more than a certain amount

Do your sums on how many packets fit into a shipping container and listen to how customs say they only inspect about 7 %.Pablo Escobar eat your heart out .
The only tool they have to fight back ,if it goes to fighting corruption and not filling the hole from lax of tax's ,is a repeat offender ,merchant at Hornsby copped a 1.25 million fine . Our district go to is not just some front shop window it whole sales to country areas.Yet was told today they are down sizing shop square footage -lessen the rent , Think they might be expecting a tsunami as the size is halved on loose tobacco ,no more fancy packaging that smoking harms your health ,just in a clear self seal bag
