Ray will park where ever he f**king likes at the club BTW. He might even throw it in the back of his bus and take it home with him.

Only members that were eligible to vote can attend, right?

Yes, Section 27 (b) of the Constitution...

Any person who is elected membership of the Club as a Club member on or after 22 December 2004 is not entitled to attend and to vote on any matters at General Meetings or to vote at the election of the Board, and is not entitled to be nominated for, elected to and hold office of the Board until that person has been a financial Club memeber of the Club for a continuous period of three (3) years at the date of the General Meeting...

Thanks Twizz

No problems mate, but I didn't do it for your benefit.

I dont want the so called shit fight at board level spilling over into here.

I'm not convinced there is a shit fight but the media have done a good job convincing everyone that there is.

The interview with pricey was far and away he's darkest moment as a legend of this club, it was just cringeworthy and I was actually hoping that Paul Kent would cut it short it was that bad... Very very sad

He's right about not being a quitter, he just kept going and going, further down and down. It's probably the worst interview I think I have ever heard. From anybody.

I can't believe he thought that interview would win him confidence as the leader of a multi-million dollar business and Football team.

Q: "What will you do to improve the club"
A: "Tread Water... see what happens."

Yes, I'm para-phrasing, but FFS...

Pricey is building a solid case to sue the NRL for lasting effects of concussion.

Lol... I mustn't have a sense of humour because it was almost too upsetting to listen to it, the ole fella has lost it big time.

How about the part where he says he has something for after the election and if they lose he will use it :lol:
He is then asked why wouldn't you use it now to get votes if its so big, all you can hear is crickets :lol:

Gordy Paul Kent etc referred to it as the Ray Price car crash interview.

Matty Johns used it as a serious piece to get leverage on Keiran Foran backflip.

(Matty also thinks that the NRL should get Izzy for Manly <cough>)

Price: And that tackly by Junior Paulo.

MMM: What's that got to do with the coach?

Price: Nothing.

I'd like to read a transcript of that interview, there was so much double speak and mentions of nothing that it be better to read it to keep track of what he was actually trying to say..

He's a club legend and all, and his playing days earned him his statue, but he really needs to give this up now.

Does anyone think that the Supreme Court will actually hear his case?

The bit I enjoyed* was when Kent asked him if the politics were affecting onfield results and he replied with (paraphrase) "how can we expect them to perform when the boardroom isn't? It didn't affect me when I was playing and it doesn't affect the players now. How can you tackle one week then forget how to the next?" So which is it Ray? The board or the players fault?

*by enjoyed I mean cringed at because Ray Price is a legend, but he really is struggling to keep his train of thought

Can't see that Price would have a leg to stand on, re being declared ineligible to stand at the election. Ben Smith on the other would at the very least have an argument, but I suspect he has moved on.

I would hope so, I don't see how anyone can think all of this rubbish is actually good for the club.

I think there were 3 or 4 times he changed his opinion on whether or not the board has influence over the teams performance, sometimes in the same sentence, I agree though, I went from cringing to laughing to feeling kinda sorry for him to be honest.

The first thing the club would do is ask that Price makes an undertaking as to damages. Meaning that he will need to satisfy the court that he has the coin to pay for damages and legal costs if he loses. Not cheap.
