Support Justin

I have been off the grid for most of the the last few days

This is not a joke, This is a very poor move by NRL.

Todd Greenburg is a politician who cowers to pressure will be the subject of a Wests Tigers backlash.

Just sent an /email letter to the NRL

I've had an idea …..lets send a piece of WT's gear we have to the NRL as a protest , doesn't have to be a jersey , can be a stubby cooler , keyring , sock

What's the address ??

Anyone want to get this idea on facebook

Lets bombard them with crap ....let them pay the excess dumping bills with JJ Richards

Happy, I don’t know if it helps, but I have learnt a few things about social movements and how they make meaningful change. The quick background is I have been running a big change the law campaign this year, we have met politicians, been on TV, newspapers, have thousands of people supporting us.

First lesson for me was;
Australians stopped giving a sh!t if it involves doing anything beyond typing a reply on Facebook/ social media or pressing like somewhere.

It’s been well documented that issues that other countries will protest or stand up to, Australians expect their leaders to do it rather than them self. Aussies then blame leaders when no change happens, despite them doing NOTHING themself. BUT there are a small number of people that are not bleating sheep and will stand with you and help massively

Second lesson:
Change only happens when loads of people come together and publicly stand up. It always starts from a small group of people who are deeply motivated coming together to organise it, mobilise it and then stick it out till change is done.

If you want to start something, find 10 others who are actually willing to be the core and get them on a phone call. Build your core, agree your path and then mobilise around a solution.

Todd Greenburg has tied the NRL to the Berejilian Government with the stadiums policy. It is not a good look when many families are finding it hard to make ends meet and we have many, kids homeless and living on the streets. Should Labor win the State and also Federal elections, it would be very difficult for Greenburg to continue as CEO. I can't imagine Daley would be wanting to do any favours for him. His poor reading of politics is probably consistent with the period at the Bulldogs.

People - it is great to vent on here but it wont do anything.

You need to get on to the NRL. They need to be bombarded with complaints.

You can contact them via nrl.com. I have today. Received two replies already. Just the standard response:

In regards to the incident with the Wests Tigers, the rules are clear around post-career roles. This type of agreement could be used by a club to keep a player at a reduced salary and a way around the cap. The payment should have been disclosed by the club and included in their salary cap.

It is important to stress these are preliminary findings and the club and Mr Pascoe have been given a reasonable time to respond to the proposed penalties.

Thanks again for taking the time to write to us.

They need lots of complaints so they cant ignore the masses.

As above, and let's hit the NRL where they fear the most. Their pockets. Sponsorship and TV rights is their number one concern - if there is a way we could impact upon that, then the NRL would take notice.

The hip pocket is the only thing the NRL is interested in. The more supporters stop going to games the more the NRL will take notice.
Would love to see a march on NRL HQ demanding Greenberg resign. There would be heaps of supporters of most NRL clubs willing to support such a demonstration I am sure, getting all of them off their backsides and attending the march would be the hard part.
Greenberg has been slowly killing our game for years now, something drastic needs to be done to unseat the maggot ASAP.

Finally something worth agreeing with you about. You can claim till you are blue in the face that you, your neighbeours and your neighbours neighbours are turning away from the game, but until it’s felt through the revenue, it’s insignificsnt. The truth is, the brand will always be vialbe. There will always be more than triple the amount of people watching opposed to the ones who take their ball and go home. The house always wins.

The NRL don't care about crowds at games, it is all about TV ratings & the next broadcast contract. Turn it off. A 2% ratings drop does more damage than a 3,000 drop in average attendances.

Question, how long is the deregistration for?

Thats a good question dave and I dont think ive seen it mentioned in any of the articles Ive read on it.
Makes you wonder how difficult will the NRL make re-registering for him again if he gets to that point wether its with us or some other club?

Nine months

Nine months, is that a guess or did you hear it somewhere? And how about Flanagan? Same? Longer?

Can't find the article now but it was mentioned 9 months for pascoe. Maybe someone else can provide the link.
 
Joe Kelly from Manly was de-registered for 12 months for their Cap rorting but was allowed back after 9 months is where it comes from..nothing has been mentioned in relation to Pascoe ..it's a guess…Kelly should have got LIFE and Manly KICK EM OUT..
 
I think a GoFundMe to help pay for legal costs would do well. Im sure that any NRL fan regardless of whether they are Tiger fans or not who are fed up with teams who seemingly rort the system and get away with it would chuck a few bucks in. Im sure a decent amount of dollars would be raised.
 
I have emailed the CEO email and whilst I know he can't read it for the moment, I expect someone will be and the well wishes will be passed on in one way or another.

And if history is an indicator, upon his return I will get a short thank you from him. He will have many to respond to, but that's how he rolls.
