Nathan Tinkler relinquishes ownership of the Newcastle Knights

Singapores new national stadium. 60K. Due for completion 2014. Perfect for an Origin game! There's a reason Union plays games in HK, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and will play WC games in Singapore in 2014.

Tinks loves his racing and he probably thinks he can scoop the pool over there. They have a pretty vibrant racing scene over there and that sport is his first love. Already flies Singapores best jockey over here to ride on big days. The plan might be that Moriera rides them, Freedman trains them, and Tinks becomes the biggest fish in another pond.

The Knights doomsayers have missed the boat. If he jumps ship, which he won't, there is a $20 million golden handshake sitting in the bank waiting. Pretty sure he can't move the team under the terms of the license either lol.

The airport is the best feature....it's all downhill after that.

This.

Yeah you'd love that. Perhaps Newcastle and the Hunter could then be considered Souffs territory, just like you encroach on Rooster's junior zones you f***ing scabs.

Having a tough year? poor guy

I didn't say it wasn't terrific. It's a rich 1st world country. But the Singapores and Monacos of the world, as rich as they are, have a limited amount of space. Things like football fields don't appear on every corner.

Not 100% sure of this, but isn't Singapore increasing fairly dramatically in size to deal with the growing city?

Like they are making the land area larger and larger to cope?

And Footy stadiums dont appear on every corner in AUS. They'd only need 1 to have games over there.

That reason is that union are tapping into the corparate dollar. I have advocated for some time that the WCC should be held in one of them countries primarily for 2 reasons 1, its a neutral venue 2, the corparate dollar. There is money out there for Rugby League, but it has to be chased. As a sport we do have to chase the corparate dollar a lot more than we do now. We have to follow the union lead on this.

NFI, you actually ever been?

Now look here Mr Jizzer I realise you're a lil bit bitter because the lol@souffs crew have enjoyed so far a communal circle jerk for 5 epic episodes while you're still struggling to attract membership for the Redneck Redfaces circle jerk hosted by you and the evergreen POPEYE. But if you can't beat us, join us. Go on, lol@souffs, you know you want to.

NFI, you actually ever been?

Yes I have. Was assigned there for three months. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

What didn't you like? Singapore rates alongside Barcelona as my fave city.

That's fair enough. I'll be honest and say I was somewhat biased. I never like travelling and being away from home, so I dislike pretty much everywhere. Also, the company and boss I was working for at the time I disliked (I left worked early on a few occasions and they made me come back and make up the time on the weekend, but this is similar to a lot of people's experience in my field).

If you really pressed me, I didn't like the consumerism and cleanliness of the place (though all developed States are very consumer based these days). That's just me though, if other people love the place, I've got no problem at all with that.

I've been to Barcelona too and I like that too.

Mirvac moves to seize Tinkler's assets

Property giant Mirvac is going after the assets of mining magnate Nathan Tinkler after he failed to pay a multi-million-dollar debt.

Mirvac arm Domaine Steel River sued two of Mr Tinkler's companies after they failed to honour an agreement to buy industrial land in Newcastle

Mr Tinkler was given a court-ordered deadline to pay Mirvac $17 million by Monday of this week.

But the deadline was missed and Mirvac has told the ABC it was now exercising its full legal rights to get the billionaire to pay up.

Mirvac says it has lodged a contempt of court order to sequester Mr Tinkler's assets

Mirvac has served a number of documents on Mr Tinkler's companies and they will be returnable when the matter is heard in the Supreme Court on Monday.

A spokesman for Mr Tinkler has refused to comment on the Mirvac matter.

Mr Tinkler denies he is in financial strife despite his failed takeover bid for Whitehaven Coal, while he is planning to sell hundreds of horses amid reports his thoroughbred breeding enterprise is haemorrhaging money.

Several Hunter businesses have also claimed they are owed money.

Maybe if Tinkler spent less time eating horses, smoking $100 bills and socializing with coal he'd have enough money to pay his bills.

Heard this morning that Nathan is moving his residence to Singapore. Not sure why....

income tax purposes. why else

the phrases "it will be his primary place of residence" and "he will still spend alot of time in Australia" tell you all you need to know

lovable bunch mining magnates are

Wow. Why on earth would anyone in their right mind ignore a court order?

At least he won't have to pay Bennett the bonus for making the semi's.

The guy is a complete bogan who got lucky buying a mine, he ain't a businessman.
