Who really knows what is going on internally....

It's quite simple really, don't believe what you read on the forum or the media; Pascoe has said countless times, don't believe anything about the club unless the club announces it. All the rest is just the froth and bubble of the media and fan base.

The trouble is that club administrators would always want members and supporters to only believe them.
Because it suits them to have us swallow the club line, Clubs will lie about signing players, cutting players or anything that happens in a season if they think that they can get some mileage out of it And I mean ALL clubs

GCT,so your way of thinking is "don't believe your club reports to members and fans" but put complete faith in the media and fans who listen to so called leaks…,..geez thats reassuring ...

Spot on…

The only real indicators of how things are going internally are players' behaviour, either on the park, or if they are resigning with us etc...

Anything else you hear or read from sources other than the club are there because whoever reported it is trying to justify their employment and sell advertising. Given the pressure on the media industry nowadays, we are only going to see more and more rubbish reported with even less substance...

Did I say that?
I don't think so. People should think for themselves . Football clubs will say anything to get the result that they want . Their record is enough to tell you that.
 
That's a very negative and cynical way of looking at things.

Clubs won't "say anything" as you suggest…. They may however be selective in what they tell us.... No difference to politics or business, highlight and promote the good news, try and not mention if possible, & minimise the bad
 
I tried to believe what our past CEO told us : 2015 = Top 8 , 2016 = Top 4 , 2017 = A Premiership…..Looking forward to relieving 2005 all over again :wink: :laughing:

Two things: Firstly; Every club is selling a product. They will always advertise their product in the best light possible. Do you honestly believe that any other club would behave any other way with its fans? At the start of the season did the Eels management announce to their fans, 'hey were rorting the cap so you can have a great season cheering us on?'
Secondly; If this club is so untrustworthy why do you bother following it?

You just proved my point. Clubs (not just this one)will lie their arses off when it suits them !!!!!

Yet they tell us , that they are the font of all truth. And some of us are dumb enough to believe them
As for why I still support the club. I've made no secret that I DONT support the club, I support the team. And I couldn't give a Stuff what you think about that.

Keep believing that. That's your prerogative ,
good luck wasn't there quite a bit of lying from some clubs recently that has been widely reported
No, of course not. That was just being selective.

Or maybe, most of the team, most of the time.
I think its great that you so passionately support your Legend.

Who really knows what is going on internally? Irvine and Jerry said it best, who has the office next to Grant Mayer? One of the great threads…but still unanswered. My guess it's a trick and infact the broom closet

I answered this earlier in the thread. I am the only one who knows what is going on internally.

Myself and hundreds on this forum both past,present and future know this to be false.Once Robbie walks you walk with it.You have had the mods well fooled for a long time and once Robbie walks I am so glad that you will walk with him.You see the voice remains the same.A million people have told you that you are wrong but you have had free reign as the mods have deleted a million accounts but guess what the voice is only getting stronger despite a "few"peoples attempts.I am Sorry but to me this club is so much stronger now as all the deadwood cancerous types have left just wish it would be the same on this forum.If it would this forum would get much better patronage numbers.

I just feel that sometimes I doubt the overall integrity of this forum as the wrong people seem to get booted by the mods all the time.Used to be all the Western Suburbs types(Im ex Balmain) for a long while now it seamt anyone Anti Robbie would get the boot.I don't doubt the hard work the mods put into this forum and it is a thankless job but I must say for far too long there has appeared to be ann issue with the integrity of this forum as the wrong people get booted while others get a free reign providing they are toeing the political line.

At least someone claims to know what is going on internally at this site. I thought the only ones banned were way over the top but only guessing.

You must to be trying to break your record for the most posts that meant nothing in one weekend.
Calm down Seiney, your blood pressure must be spiking
 
Anyone else see the story about some weststigers players suing the club and coach over player welfare issues, seems JT threatened players with being dropped if they didn't play injured.
It was in the sunday telegraph, can't find the link, but did mention Farah's name in the article as one of the players, RLPA are running the case as the story goes.
 
lol…that's pretty funny most players would be walking over hot coals backwards to play NRL even carrying injury..but No no not at Wests Tigers they are being forced to play...sounds legit...
