    Craig Young and personal reference for Finch

    Unfortunately, Young has no one to blame but himself, pity as he bleeds red and white, but club loyalty is note the only pre-requisite for holding the most senior board position at the club. The club needs to move forward from this whole saga and do so quickly, with a determined resolve to "lead...

    Craig Young and personal reference for Finch

    If enough sponsors -major or otherwise- chose to terminate their agreements with the club, the board would have no option other than to ask Young to resign as chairman and director. Sponsors will always act to protect their own image and brand value above all else, and in this matter would not...

    Season 2022 Premiers ?

    Unfortunately there is simply no resemblance between the demographic of the greater Kogarah catchment and that of past decades, Penrith Leagues is situated in the middle of league heartland now, the Taj sits amongst a completely different group today, fewer and fewer of which even follow rugby...

    New recruits for 2023

    Brian Smith's comments were made following his early deparure from the club in '95, whilst he was coaching Bradford in the UK the next year. The circumstances of his departure followed the planned and impending merger with Easts, with Gould to be appointed head coach. Smith had little choice but...

    Poor Ben Hunt

    Hook and Hunt are contracted for next year, and will likely remain for 23. Not to mention sacking the club captain and head coach now when both assistant coaches are being replaced hardly creates or sends a strong positive signal to our roster or would be recruits.

    R23 Titans

    Yes says a lot about our current lack of forward stocks for next year and the very limited choice in the market, shame we didnt have the means to go after Lodge, hes looking like a person with a point to prove. One thing Mary did do was bring a very strong hooker/pack together. McInnes, Vaughn...

    Round 21 vs. the SCUM

    The Bronco's semi was our best chance of a title shot since Bennett, Simms played out of his skin, infact Frizell, the entire engine room played with total dominance, not forgetting we conceded first points. Peter Sterling and Lockyer thought we could be lapped after Broncos scored early helped...

    New recruits for 2023

    This is factually incorrect, Wayne Bennet had come to a verbal agreement to return to StGI (to replace Paul McGregor) for 2015 following his very public falling out with the Knights under Tinklers disastrous tenure. Matters that were well publicised at the time. The agreement, apparently verbal...

    Billy Smith

    Harry Bath had the task of looking at players to replace Billy such as the young dragon Lee Pomfret, who when chosen caused a back page headline at the time, Billy was playing on heart with a busted leg, Harry had to look to the future. Pomfret can be seen on the sideline in the 77 grand final...

    Junior Amone

    Only if he decides to accept, would have to think an upgrade would be part of the deal offered. The Dolphins wont go away, and Bennet is just doing his job, unfortunately.

    Poor Ben Hunt

    Ben Hunt is worth every cent. What success we have this season will depend a lot on his 80m of service, he leads from the front every game. Its vital he dose not pick up an injury during his Qld. campaign, his absence from the back end of last year was a set back we did not recover from...

    Matt Lodge

    There are more questions than answer in this approach. What method is used to determine a valuation of 20m, or is this an arbitrary figure. Will shares be a dollar each? Current shareholders, especially majors, have to be satisfied as to actual value methodology. Will current owners be paid for...

    Round 8 vs Tigers

    I may have my information wrong, but the club has named him in the starting team as of 400pm . However wouldnt be the first time a late scratching occurs. Fingers crossed.
