Banners of protest

I'm up for anything. We need to agitate.

Get all Malcolm X on this shit. "By any means necessary."

JDB is playing fine and he can tackle as opposed to Hunt & Harrison. When I was at the Cutters game they played JDB, Thompson, Harrison, Stockwell, Matthews etc and JDB was a class above anyone else on the field. Against Souths & Easts he stopped the big men in their tracks. He is a first class defender and is a future leader but shldnt have expectations above that at this stage in his career.

Au Mau has shown he's capable but has dropped off completely. He seems to have self preservation in mind but it cld also be the same as all our forwards that as we don't have any decoys they are all sitting ducks.

Against the better packs AhMau has no hope.
He showed glimpses against struggling teams.

still no reason to attempt to kill off the leagues club, whom the football club relies on for financial grants.
i dont believe harming the leagues club in any way is the answer.

I would normally feel the same however drastic times call for drastic measures.

If the dinosaurs on the leagues club board see it as beneficial to put themselves on the football club board and run the club into the ground then in my eyes they get what they deserve.

 

[Jubileeboy]

They both tie in together. Those on the football club board are also on the leagues club board.

Maybe encourage people to actually go to the Leagues Club and spend their money?
See, this is where the good intentions of a few break down with out realising the ramifications of their actions.

We need the Leagues Club to be successful to assist with Football Club grants. Rather than reducing the grant as has happened for the last 5 years, imagine if we had a strong Leagues Club that happily provided huge funding each year for the better of the football? (Think Bulldogs !)
People that live there can join the Leagues Club and if as passionate as some make out, why not put your name in the ring and look towards making change on how things are currently run?
It's a huge task but it needs to happen...otherwise this club will go the way of local bowling clubs.
A young team of entrepreneurial types , willing to have a go and make changes to:
1- The running of the leagues club.
2- The profitability of the Leagues Club
3- The existing Leagues Club management
4- The constitution and control of the Rugby League Football Club and/or Joint Venture Boards.
Join as a Leagues Club member, not a Red V member and have your say....Leagues Club members can make changes and have voting rights. Existing leagues Club Directors won't make changes? Vote for someone that will, or nominate someone that will ....that's how you do it.

And if you speak with those that have tried this option it is extremely hard to do. If the current board get a whiff of someone going up against them they change the voting rules or ban people from the club.

The people that need replacing are not going to go easily. Unfortunately short term pain for long term gain will be required.

I believe that we wouldn't need a huge grant from the leagues club if we had a board running the football club that could maximise the clubs potential.

Maybe it wasn't done properly? ;-)

It can be done, it just doesn't need broadcasted.

Speak to some of the people who tried this as part of R2K.

Some of them reported police knocking on their doors and all other kinds of low acts just because they tried to challenge the status quo

Your answer is in your post ;-)

How does one nominate themselves to run for the board without broadcasting it?

 

[God-King Dean]

Burn it down.

BURN IT ALL DOWN!

also showed glimpses when a contract was needed... and then back to usual crappy self.

The financial angst at the Leagues Club is not the fault of fans, nor is it due to the lack of patronage.

The failure of the Leagues Club to increase the grant to the Football Club starts and ends with the financial controllers.

The Taj has gone from a very profitable Club in the 1970s to a building in need of repair. It is almost entirely reliant of pokie money. Very little has been done to seek out alternative revenue streams or move forward when required - that's putting it kindly.

Danny Robinson took over the financial reigns in the 1970s, was promoted to Club President / General Manager, and is still there today.

 

[Willow]

And yes, I'm a Leagues Club member and I'm looking forward to voting at the next opportunity.

Who of them is on the leagues club board, that's were the real issues are.

Things are shit, true.
Putting the club into further financial distress smacks of a looming disaster to me given that we are already struggling.
If we want risk contributing to the death of the club in trying to change the administration include me out.

The Leagues club is central to the long term health of the club. I understand and respect you're point of view. Mine is the club can be made healthy again but not with the current board in place. In my view it's change the board or watch the club continue to die a very slow death.

It's a f**king dilemma FT, no doubt.

 

[Father Ted]

Agreed.. We all love the big red V .

Exactly my sentiments.

Change is required but we all know what happens if you attempt anything with the Football Club. So, try with the Leagues Club first I say. Membership and voting rights are easier.
