If Tinkler never came along our club would probably have Rick Stone trumpeting the resigning of Joel Edwards with Burrito standing in the background. I can just picture the press release now...

"Joel is a tremendous player who has the added advantage of being a Newcastle junior. We had no problems negotiating with his manager because we unanimously agreed that it's only a matter of time before Joel steps foot in the Origin arena. Joel represents everything that is great about our club and we're hopeful he can see out his career at the one club."

No thanks to that parallel universe. Tinkler isn't a saint but we're a million miles ahead of where we were.

LOL

Big signing that one.

Don't understand how anyone who can afford a full home gym, a personal trainer and a chef could be fat.

Excellent. So all clubs are turning a large profit and there is no need for any of them to seek addition funds from the ARLC!!!!!!

That means there will be more money left to be spent helping Newy pay their bills and bail them out when Tinks forgets to pay up.
I said 15 clubs finances were looking better than the Knights. FFS my piggy bank is in a better financial position.

Cant pay tax. Cant pay rent on your stadium. George Piggins ran Souths better than that.

He has given the members club an undertaking everyone will be paid up in the next few weeks. Lets get excited and see if the sky actually does fall at that point...
If the ATO is threatening to wind up your club over unpaid tax, and the owner of your home ground is suing you for back rent because you haven't paid a cent in rent since you took over, what is the point of waiting a few weeks?

There is danger that you will lose your club in 6 weeks. And an added danger that you wont have a ground to play at if you do survive. You dont think it might be prudent to actually PAY THE F*CKING BILL NOW?????

Absolute miracle they made the finals that year. From memory they had the bye in round 26 and pinched 8th spot.
A miracle that they got 2 points from a bye - just like everyone else did. Praise Jesus!

Don't think there is snow at Williamtown to be honest
Tinkler paid cash for something. Hell froze over.

Newcastle has an owner that does not pay his debts, taxes, rent and bills.

Apart from all that tinkler is the best owner ever !

Do you know how much debt Newcastle was in prior to HSG ownership?

Do you know how much debt Newcastle is in now?

I know the Knights were on a meagre budget, but I dont ever remember their debt management leading them to within 6 weeks of oblivion!

Do some research. Check out how much the club owed prior to Tinkler.

Do you really believe the club will cease to exist in 6 weeks time?

You f*cking tell me how much they owed. You cant even admit that there is a court hearing to wind them up in 6 weeks time.

Regardless of how much they owed - and I'll type this slowly so you might get it - n o o n e e v e r t r i e d to k i l l t h e m o f f b e c a u s e o f w h a t t h e y o w e d b e f o r e.

And again - if Fat Nathan is ever going to pay these LONG OVERDUE bills, why hasnt he paid hem yet????????????????

I couldn't care less about the courts. That was not my original question, query or point.

My question to you was do you know what the club owed before HSG took over?

Experience tells us Tinkler will not pay anything until he has to. Do you prepay your exponential electricity bills, rates, phone etc or do you wait till they are due? I'd say a lot of people wait beyond the due date and and delay payment till the final notice before handing over their money.

No problems there.
