Dragons might go into out of town conference

I know I shit stir, but I’m not this time.

When talking about the physical football team, (which the sentence clearly was) it is based in Wollongong. That’s where they train.

I’m not sure that’s a controversial point of view.

I just FaceTimed the Don to get his take on it.

He gave a wry smile and a dismissive chuckle..

Aha! So there is only two of youse.

There is an upside to this... you can hold meetings without breaking any laws.

The licence is owned by the joint venture.

If St George were the only holders of the licence, it wouldn’t be a joint venture.

St George own the License . It was made quite clear at the formation of the JV that if the joint venture disbanded the license would revert to the ownership of St.George only.

You have a standing invitation.

Don’t lie. You’d thoroughly enjoy the banter.

Current COVID laws, yes.

Racketeering, collusion, standover, loan sharking & smuggling however I think would still be considered against the law.

I think you’ll find that’s just a fairy tale that was made up along the way..

Do you have proof of this fairy tale?

No I was working in the footy club at the time so no. Also wondering as the Steelers have sold most of their share to Mr Gordon. So the Joint venture is in effect between Win corp and St.George . In that case the Steelers has gone the way of the Cutters and the Hunter Mariners as in defunct , a name only entity?

"Gordon and his son Andrew, a St George Illawarra director, briefly considered launching a fresh bid independently of WIN Corporation to assume the Steelers' share in St George Illawarra as other interested purchasers circled.

But later, under the guise of WIN Corporation, they quietly returned to the negotiating table in the hope of snapping up an interest in one of the NRL's most recognisable franchises".

That link in no way shape or form details how the licence apparently belongs to St George.

It does, however, strongly highlight & reinforce the fact that the licence is owned by the joint venture.

Must have missed the I was there bit . And I was trying actually to find out the current status of the thing. Not have a debate on facts.

I didn’t miss the “I was there bit”..

But how do you know I wasn’t there either?

 

[RufusRex]

well you need 8 teams in each group

Warriors/Melbourne/Cowboys/Titans/Raiders/Broncos/Knights

Panthers/Eels/Doggies/Tigers/Sharks/SeaEagles/Roosters/Rabbitohs/Dragons

Pretty obvious which team needs to move ... Yes .. the Perth Sharks ;-) Failing that it is us.

Alas, a JV that doesn't include the Illawarra Steelers.

So in the event that the JV is dissolved, do you think the NRL will ask WIN Corp to field a team?

Damn logic.

Definitely.

Russell Crowe does it.

C'mon, you had a chuckle as well.

Still no I.S.

Last I heard there was still a splinter cell in Syria, but regardless I wouldn’t say Rusty helped get rid of them.

He’s only an actor.

 

[SBD82]

C'mon, you had a chuckle as well.

More of an evil cackle. But definitely amused.

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Why do you people read the DT, why ?

Yeah I certainly don't, the paywall in their case is actually helpful.

Being under the table doesn't count.

dont know if any body has mentioned this aspect of the conferences.. distances that the out of towners would have to contend with compared to the sydney conference . Sydney teams simply drive to the local oval to play whereas other teams are up for airfares hotels and all other associated costs - so would clubs be compensated or just have to suck it up ???? Saints falling into the out of towners would have a huge expense bill for travelling compared to the sharks or dogs for example ..
