Talk about getting your knickers in a twist, it's a nothing article. I've gone over that article about 5 times now and there is no statement from the board or from the CEO that mentions SK getting a contract extension.

I think everyone needs to calm the f**k down.

Still a great coach though....gets the maximum out of his players every week. They really play for their coach. Would bea great signing....a definate coup.

Last time we signed up a coach on a long deal, it all went stale (Smithy). So after 15 rounds we know that he is the man ?

Sounds as sensible as a drunken Las Vegas wedding to someone you've just met.

I think it's a little premature as well tbh.
The only thing that could justify it is that the Board and Osbourne are mightily impressed with what they've seen from Kearney already.
As someone already stated, it's the Board's arses that are on the line here. I suspect they wouldn't be making such a rash decision based on little more than club stability.
I'll trust them for the moment on this one.

There are some excellent Australian researchers whose books documented these relationships. One close to home and one of the best was released around the year 1997: http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/1632390 - suggest you get it - I still have some new ones floating about, packed in a box amongst our "stuff". If you or anyone wants one, PM me. His cross-referencing of relationships with board directors across many corporations is extensively detailed and very disturbing at the same time. From what I am aware of, none of his research info has been debunked thus far...... There are many agendas "out there" seeking to discredit researchers like this bloke but these attacks always come from (are orchestrated by) those who have the most to lose. Many claims made about him are lies. There are political and spiritual beliefs he stands for which we do not endorse or support - however he is a good man with a good heart who only seeks the very best for everyone.

A brief overview of this book just found on the net.........

"This is the story of a near dispossession of the richest country in the world, and one of the youngest in terms of industrial economics. It is a story of how a virile and intensive people have been sapped of faith and will. Some of this material appeared in a booklet I wrote in July 1991. It outlined a predetermined policy, discernible throughout the world, for the transfer of political and economic decision-making away from parliaments elected or otherwise to a global government. The idea has appeared under a number of names: globalism, the new world order, global governance, the new international economic order, etc. This book deals with whole new dimensions of the constant policy for global governance. For a time any rational discussion about this policy was dismissed. Notions of such a momentous change, it was suggested, were merely the delusions of conspiracy theorists or ignorant people. The charge of ‘conspiratorialism’ became a stock-in-trade for lazy journalists, evasive politicians and isolated academics who knew the penalties for challenging the orthodox. A glossary of terms was employed to bury views that deviated from the mainstream – racist, fascist, ultraconservative, extreme, and, increasingly anti-semitic. Years of this sort of social conditioning leads to a bottling-up process, apt to explode unexpectedly."

Good on ya Casp. Spot on. Have you been listening to Alex Jones lately? He was on fire again today. Topic of discussion...Eugenics.

If you don't listen to him I can highly recommend him. He's my favourite.

We are neither left wing or right wing - we are not into supporting duality in all its forms. Some of the conspiracy stuff helps people become aware of the psychological tactics being used to manipulate the outcomes of many peoples lives but in themselves, they are still not a remedy that brings freedom, truth, peace, abundance, joy and do no harm for all of life. In fact, they like everything else in "The System" including left wing or right wing are distractions from creating a real-living paradise for all.

Life is in our image - we only need to change the way we are thinking and give life to these thoughts and the world will be in that image.

The outcomes of our lives are the thoughts we think.

All that is required is to take full-responsibility for everything we think, feel and do.

This means if we all want peace, etc, we all have to walk away from hiding behind limited liability costumes, titles, rules, regulations, rituals, procedures, conditions, contracts, and all other 3rd party interlopers, intermeddlers and interceders we pass the buck to as in a Jesus or The Galactic Federation or the Government, the courts, the Churches, etc, and start taking full-responsibility for everything we think, feel and do.


Don't worry about Pou, he obviously has no idea. He still believes in the left, right paradigm. Unfortunately most still do.

Sounds a lot like yourself PP.

The difference is, you're putting shit on a bunch of elected professionals with a lot at stake. I'm only putting shit on you and your anonymous idiot mates.

In-fact, your forum aggression makes me smile somewhat.

I'd say it's more derision than aggression. Don't be fooled. I use harsh language here because it's funny. I don't take it anywhere near as seriously as you're trying to make out.

I highly doubt you speak to people the same way in person.

That's because I'm not speaking here, I'm typing. In real life we have body language and tone of voice to convey meaning. On the internet I generally couldn't be bothered.

More importantly, when it comes to the topic of this thread and what has been said about the board, you shouldn't comment on issues you know nothing about.

But I do know something about the board, because I have you and your learned friends educating me.

What it comes down to, and forgive me for ignoring your attempt to 'pull rank' and pretend you're far too connected for anybody to disagree with you, is that I am aware of who you're constantly sniping at and complaining about, and I'm aware of how you conduct yourself when you do it. As for 'their' side of the story, all I know is that whenever I see any of the people running the club they always conduct themselves professionally and with maturity. This is completely different to how I see you and the death-riders behave on these forums.

Let me guess, you're a real supporter and we're not? :lol:

Yeah laugh it up pal. You've got me all wrong if you think I'm the kind of bloke who engages in dick-measuring contests about who's a bigger fan.

For the record I'm sure it's you. You obviously care so much about the club that you're caught up in the politics as well, and since you're obviously on the losing side of that shitfight you must be hurting.

My advice is to let it go. Professional sports is entertainment, not life-and-death.

The only reason I get involved in these threads is because I want the club to be stable at the top. That means whingers, malcontents and death-riders can all get f**ked. Maybe there was a group better suited for the job but that's less important than the fact that this group is running the show. And they need time - I'm talking at least a decade of stability - to implement their plans.

I don't know who they are; I don't even know most of their names. It's irrelevant to me. The fact is, they're in now and the best thing we can do is let them run the club without constant political bullshit being thrown around.


Good luck with your political 'career'.

To be honest, I don't. But when I hear people complaining about 'the system' or 'the man' I immediately think 'leftie' and all the connotations it brings.

Never mind that most of 'the left' these days are rampant free-market consumerists. When I think of somebody from that side of politics I think of somebody who doesn't understand where money comes from.

Someone like Casper.

iI wonder if the Titans are excited that they signed Cartwright long term.

Give Kearney 3 and extend if we are better then than we are now.

f**king hilarious, always amusing how two diametrically opposed sides can both be so right and so righteous in their opinions. :lol::lol:

I think it's a nothing article based on nothing but conjecture that just happens to tap the bottomless well of resentment and agenda's of the anti-everything brigade. See the article for what it is, pure speculation and nothing more.

f**k me, that's quite a hefty response PP. I'll take it as a compliment that you care so much as to dedicate that time to my good self.

I couldn't be bothered replying to that much drivel myself, although I did enjoy the above comment.

I feel blessed, as an Eels supporter, knowing that the club will now be stable thanks to your presence on LU.

And for the record, I do believe 3P is doing an exceptional job on the Leagues Club side of things. The set-up at Parramatta is what I have an issue with where the same people also run the football department.

These guys certainly have business acumen but that's where it should stop.

Disagree.......there doesn't seem to be any plan to replace Prince who has been ordinary.

Prince is still a quality half, and still well able to do what he needs to do. He just has very little support right now.

You're right that he's getting old but he's still good enough to play as well as Jason Taylor did in 2001. He just needs a better team around him, which is what the Titans have bought for next year.

Just a question Pou and I am not trying to be funny or have a go here, but can you tell me in a sentence or two where does money come from?

Also do you really think that ignorance is only based in the so called "left" side of politics? By the way what free market, or do you mean free market in name alone?

The question is can he do it in 2013 and 2014 though... that's how long they've signed him up for.

Unfortunately a sentence or two won't do any explanation justice. Suffice to say, money represents the value of something which is determined by demand over supply.

3rd grade stuff, I know, but I'm constantly amazed by the numbers of people who talk about politics and potential solutions for the world's problems while completely ignoring simple economics.

Also do you really think that ignorance is only based in the so called "left" side of politics?

No. But ignorant people (and there are so, so many) are attracted to one or the other side of politics for different reasons. Ignorant people who lean to the left tend to be ignorant about money.

By the way what free market, or do you mean free market in name alone?

Free market in the sense that it is not overly manipulated at the domestic level by policy. Obviously every country has some level of fiscal policy, so it's not a case of either/or when it comes to a 'free market'. Rather, the level of freedom given to a domestic market (and therefore the global market, to varying degrees) is best represented by a continuum.
