    $5,000,000 for Thurston?

    I suppose the interesting fallout from this will be that we've shown our hand to every player manager out there now. We've shown them that we have the coin available. Hence every manager will now be hitting us up to sign whatever halfbacks they represent. We may be in the unique position that...

    Gus

    This seems to be Gus's plan. It's interesting that's it the exact opposite of what Shaun used to promote. Maybe an indication of why Shaun moved on. Whether its right or not, only time will tell.

    Gus

    I was upset about some of these losses as well at first, but when you think about it many of them really are the norm. How many other clubs have supporters stores outside of the licence club or the home ground? Apart from Newcastle's dindgy centre aisle stall at Charlestown square I can't think...

    james segeyaro and other recruits

    I think it's fair to say that the fullback position is Moylan's to loose. I can't see us moving Coote back there at least until we know what direction Seijka's going to take. I think the goal is to re-ignite Roberts career and I can't see us throwing him straight into FG above a strong club man...

    2013 Memberships

    That's the most likely scenario mate, but it totally changes my game day experience. Not only the lack of beer, but issues with kids etc. but I won't bore you with those details. I'm sure the club did market research etc. and I'm sure they've got a strategic plan (apart from saving money)...

    2013 Memberships

    I'm not sure if it was there goal or not, but gee they'll sell some GA memberships. $150 is bargain basement price, a $30 reduction in previous years obviously offset by the reduced GA area. My family and I have been Bay 5 members for the past few years, but I doubt that'll be the case this...

    james segeyaro and other recruits

    He definately brings a different look to the attack when he cons on. With the injury to Payne the other night, Segeyaro was probably asked to do more minutes than he was ready for, but barring a few mistakes he did well. McClennen just didn't know how to use Lewis Brown so we can ignore his...

    Welcome PI Refugees

    Well I got tied up with work, family and other general life activities for a week and bang. Jumped on the IPad today, click on Panthers den and GOOONE. Then I jump on here and find out they closed it down. Don't remember seeing that one in a members email, apparently there was a thread about it...

    The Moylan for 1st grade thread

    Being IC played Coote at 5/8 and Arana at Fullback for the last 15 min against the Bunnies, there's a fair chance he's thinking of another fullback option. With the 2nd tier salary cap issues and Flash back soonish I reckon Moylan will have to wait for next year. But if the Coote to 5/8...

    Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

    Mate I confess I haven't read every post you've made on this topic and my reply while it did quote you wasn't excessively directed at you. I responded to your post and then elaborated on the topic for everyone's benefit, so I didn't mean to speak down to you if that's how you took it. I...

    Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

    I think you miss my point. As long as we replace min wage players with other min wage players we're not making salary cap room for the new players. Zero tackle claims that our off contract players are Achurch, Cook, Fatiaki, Johnson, Mansour, Taumata, JTK, Uaisele and Vaivai. I don't think...

    Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

    I think it's fair to say some contracted players will have to go. Yes we have some players off contract but most of those are on or near the min wage, the only big earner so far is Gordon. Don't forget that every player removed from the top 25 needs to be replaced, so shedding 7 min wage players...

    West Coast Pirates Bid News

    I think it's a good shift. Firstly it freshens the club up and gets them back in the news (which would be tough to do at this point), secondly there are a lot of risks with the name Reds (other sporting franchises using the name, previous failed club and limited marketability). Pirates is...

    David Gallop stands down as CEO

    Gallop did the right job at the time he was appointed. The game was running from one disaster to another when he took over, Gallop steadied the business and grew it in a slow conservative way. It worked at that time. He made plenty of mistakes especially the last 5 years, because I think the...

    Removal of Gallop and expansion

    I think now you forget everything you thought you knew, all bets are off. Everything we knew or though we knew about expansion came from Gallop's mouth. Even after the IC was in place the suggestion on these boards was that the IC would consider Gallop's opinion heavily. Forget about that...

    Gordon To Leave…

    Where is it reported that he lives in 'The Shire'? I see him at Glenmore Park shops regularly and have seen him driving around Glenmore Park often. And anyone who knows Glenmore Park, knows that you don't just drive through there. On his contract. It's irresponsible to pay that much money to...

    Penrith unable to blood juniors due to salary cap

    Problem is, it's only round 10 and the more you breach it by the higher the fine is. So if we need to breach it in round 10, how much is it going to add up to come round 26? Could end up being a hefty fine, when the club isn't exactly rolling in cash.

    Jennings punted to Windsor

    'Brent Sherwinsism' : Definition: A disease suffered by footballers, normally a year a two into a rich 5 year contract. Symptoms: Player's life is settled, his bank balance looks good and he has nothing to worry about in life. He therefor lacks motivation and hunger, resulting in his form...

    Western Corridor NRL bid

    Thanks guys it answers some questions for me. I think that if there were to be another team in Brisbane it should represent something other than being another inner city team. Parra fans going to the SFS every other weekend is highly unlikely. But I think that's just because of the...
