Rumours and Stuff

Yeah - but it's even riskier playing Will Smith in first grade in any position whatsoever.
We will have made a great comeback, from 16-2 down to be leading 18-16 with 2 minutes to go. Moses has had the ball on a string with his kicking game. Last tackle, 35m out from our own line, Will Smith will overrule the dummy half, jump in there and ignore Moses, preferring to kick it out on the full himself.
He's a terrible decision maker and should never ever set foot in FG. He's not a depth signing because he over-rates his own ability and sees himself as the go-to guy, and the one who is allowed to back himself.

Better off playing a rookie who knows his limitations, and can catch bombs.
There are rumours that Will Smith has photos that could seriously damage BA's reputation. Apparently they show him smiling.

Well, playing him in reggies is classic risk mitigation strategy. I beleive it falls under the 'remove' category.
Well I hope we'd be playing our backups in reserve grade. They need to be fit when they're called on to play NRL.

Will Smith has an NRL win rate just under 45%, pretty standard for a career backup who's been at multiple clubs.

Interesting fact from the football club financial statement, merchandise was down $750k. Almost certain the striped jersey was far from popular, that was confirmed by most retailers. At least we are going back to the heritage jersey for home games, hope that leads to recovery in merchandise sales.

That proves that the stripes were absolute dog shit as 90% of members thought, and that whoever was on that membership council that rubber stamped that jersey Should be sacked immediately.
Also, why the heck have we kept the striped away jersey - the one that we've won like 2/20 games away with. Idk

Again, the member council were not consulted on that jersey. It was presented by Bernie as a done deal, no input from the member council at all

Doubtful with that big white crap on the front. Seriously, they treat us the fans like crap. When they start to respect us better we may see decisions that aren't bending us over for the sponsors like what they did for next seasons jersey.

Any of the predominately blue jerseys for me aren't we the champions in the BLUE and gold not the yella and blue

There was a while back when we were better when we wore the predominantly yellow jersey.

Reason was because it was our ‘home’ jersey. Just as the blue jersey is now our home jersey. Surprisingly we win more games at home. Who would have thought.

Merchandise was down $750K but sponsorships were up $2M.
