Danny Robinson Gets His Wish - Saints Are Dead

[Mr Red]

The biggest question for me is, how long have we been bleeding for?

at a guess i would assume ever since the pokie tax came in, and the leagues club failed to move with the times and have other revenue streams in place...
Annual grants from the leagues club to the football club became smaller and smaller each year... and the football club who had also become lazy and overly reliant on the leagues club grant also started to suffer..

there is some evidence that points to financial problems even before the above, however i think this was the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak..

Since they paid the three guys who run the leagues club a combined 1.7 m even during the years when they made a loss.

That Leagues club is a disgrace. It like an old peoples home with $5.00 roast and veg. No offence intended, but the Leagues club has certainly not moved on with the times.
Sizzler should have been kicked out a long time ago (or relocated inside the club), with an apartment block built on the site, with restaurant's below that interconnect to the club.
The leagues club got some independent consultant a few years back and this is similar to what was recommended, yet after two of the biggest property booms in Australian history, here we still are, with good old Sizzler taking pride of place.

Took my Banner on the hill tonight. Just my opinion. Sad to see our club with all this debt and becoming a joke.

I think the roast has gone up to 18.00

I have always been a Dragons supporter, but as long as the name stays as is and we win more games they can have Ronald McDonald in charge.

I have a different take. In my opinion, the St George BOD has been lazy and the whole Board should be sacked and replaced by enthusiastic members who are clever and have the Club's best interest at heart.

For example, one excuse for the demise of our Club is the influx of Chinese immigrants to the district who are mainly not interested in the game of Rugby League. The obvious answer to this problem has all to do with education and marketing. Compete strongly for the sport of choice in schools in our district and offer superior scholarships to budding rugby league players.

We all know that parents always want to please and support their children and because of this will become interested the sport of choice of their child.
