Why devote your time to the board if you can't benefit from it financially? We may as well have fans running the club.

was it only the Bears?That may well be true, however then the club would be financially dependent on the NRL and not the league club.
The main reason for the move, back in the day was to ensure the club had secured funds and that they didn't go the way of the Bears.
With the clubs significant assets (at the time) they could cover any loss the football side would make.
The big question will be what was the income from the NRL and sponsorship, and is that enough to run a competitive modern football club. Looking at the last few financial reports from the Leagues club, although they don't say it, I think a large amount of funding has been removed from football operations, and that has added to our woes on the field.
Just like all of the other teams, through the NRL club grants.That may well be true, however then the club would be financially dependent on the NRL and not the league club.
Agree. I think there was a quote from Sharp in a recent newspaper article that mentioned us moving to an annual half-election for the Board/s, and that the NRL had helped with those plans (as well as the eventual aim of having some independent Directors appointed)?Personally I don't have a problem with handing the NRL team to the footy club.
Except I want to see a change in Board first. Maybe agree in principle at this AGM but not to take effect until season 2016.
Give us time to vote out some people and elect a board we trust to run the footy team.
So how'd it all go?
I understand we're sticking with the Leagues Club?
